7 Year Old Vegas Fund

Just before starting college I decided after I graduate I would go to Las Vegas to celebrate 4 years of hard work. Unfortunately, i got a job 3 wks out of school and never pursued my Vegas dreams until a friend recently proposed a spontaneous 60 hour Vegas trip with round trip tickets from Chicago for $92. Decided to yes man the proposal and go Despite trying to save money. Banana for scale.

I forgot about my vegas fund that college me started. This garage sale piggy bank sat in my parents' closet for the last three years after college.

Finally cashed out with $400 in coins, coupled with $350 cash from some random odd jobs and deposits into the crayon with a whopping $750. Vegas here i come.

Sad to see it So empty...

I'll probably be broke 2 hours after landing.

edit: Seems like everyone is very concerned about the 8.9% banking fee. To clarify, I bank with TCF, but the coin machine at the branch I went to was not connected to the bank accounts in any way. You first deposit all your coins and it prints out a receipt that provides you the sum for a customer and the sum for a non customer. You then take this receipt to your bank teller (I barely know her) and show them you are a customer to receive full amount in cash or as deposit to your account. I was going to go to Chase, but if you want them to take your coins you have to roll them yourselves. Considering I spent 20 minutes just pouring the change into the machine, I'm glad I didn't roll and count myself.
