Pay it forward...

Here's the best Vegas story ever as promised :) as mentioned in the previous post, thanks to our high-roller friend, Frank, the 12 of us had the best dinner of our lives plus $700!

Here's how it happened...

We split up prior to the show we were going to, my great aunt decided to play some slots, but my grandma didn't want to so she sat on a bench in the lobby waiting for her sister. While she was sitting there a man in his 40's (who was very friendly as the rest of my story will prove, but honestly if i had run into him he's the kinda guy i would've tried to get away from as soon as possible, clean but yeah just the kinda person you wouldn't spend a lot of time talking to) came and sat down next to her, asked her why she wasn't gambling, told her she reminded him of his grandma and pulled out $100 bill and tried to give it to her saying, "take this and go have some fun." My grandma refused to take it so he left after setting it on the bench next to her, she got up as well, but then got to thinking if she didn't take it who would and what would they do with it... so she went back and picked it up.

She went to her sister and said "you'll never guess what just happened to me" but her sister replied, "I bet i can!" the same man, Frank, had done the same to her. Tried to put $100 bill in her machine, machine wouldn't take it initially so she talked to him for a couple minutes, and finally the machine took it.

We meet up for dinner before the show and they tell us this wonderful story... but it doesn't end there- we went to the show and laughed and laughed and learned a lot more about menopause then any of us younger one's cared to know for now! We made a bathroom pit stop after the show, a few of us waiting in the lobby for the others- so a few minutes later a few of my aunts and grandma walk up to us, one of them with a $100 bill stuffed in her bra (my aunts are the coolest!)

3 of my aunts, my grandma, and my great aunt ran into Frank AGAIN! He stopped to talk to them giving my grandma a hug and telling everyone how much she reminded him of his grandma- he gave them each $100 AND said he wanted to take them all out in a limo to get dinner- long story a little shorter- they were a little skeptical so they asked one of the casino security who was standing nearby and he said it was totally legit, telling them Frank likes to do this every so often. He suggested the steakhouse in the hotel saying it was the best in town (i doubt it was the best, but we can pretend cause it was still AMAZING he was being such a good employee! wink wink!)

So here we are up $700 AND getting ready for the best dinner of our lives. We met Frank briefly and were then treated to the best dining experience of our lives. The food like I said was AMAZING, the presentation of the meal was great, the service was great, and we received bundles of roses from Frank during our meal.

It is an experience I will never forget and sorry for tyson, but he will have his work cut out for him, the steak seriously melted in my mouth (i'm salivating just thinking about it!) and I actually ENJOYED a bite of shrimp (normally i can't stand it!). I followed the steak up with the Chocolate Fantasy for dessert and I'm pretty sure I'm still having fantasies about it!!!!

This was definitely a pay it forward experience, we were so gracious for his generosity and in return will all be praying for him as he seemed to be a lonely man. So thank you Frank for making a trip a little cheaper and allowing us to have such a special treat!
