Spending 1.75% of your income on entertainment is fine -- in fact, it's pretty miserly. Spending 1.75% of your total net wealth on entertainment, in one go, though, is dumb. Maybe it was multiple trips, but still, Las Vegas is a very easy, and very unsatisfying, way to spend large sums of cash. The only worse item on the list is $20K in strip clubs. All the expensive cars are much more of an issue. Fun is fun, "status" is a total waste. Cars aren't fun? Maybe you don't enjoy driving, but I sure as hell do. If I had a $2.5 million windfall I'd be buying some fancy cars too.
