I begged her to let me come and photograph her and her friends at the nightclub. I can't imagine anything more cool than a bunch of 85+ year old ladies howling and stuffing dollar bills into the dancer's G-strings, shouting 'Take it ALL off, baby!' 
So how much did you win? And who was your favorite dancer?

Shoot, there's a Chippendales there and I missed it?
And my mom is 90 and our express purpose for the trip was to take her casino hopping there. Vegas is too far away to drive and I don't like to take her on a plane anymore, so Biloxi it is. Imperial Palace, Hard Rock, Beau Rivage -- you wouldn't know you're not in Vegas from the inside. We (my sister and I) would get her inside using a lightweight wheelchair to save her energy, and once inside she would get out and push it around from machine to machine. She had such a good time, and did so well the whole trip. I'm very glad we decided to do it. A few pics: View from our 20th floor window at Imperial Palace; Mom at coffeeshop in Beau Rivage; and inside Hard Rock (full size Wheel of Fortune on right!
