[quote=Anonymous]What about getting some board games you all can play together? Or playing cards (since she likes casinos). You could buy her a slot machine to keep at your house for a present. There are also lots of "games" that are all conversation starter topics (you pull out a card and it has a random question to discuss). I would also just check in with her. Ask her open questions like "How do you like living here", "What's your happiness level on a scale from 1-10", "What's been the hardest thing about moving", "What's been the easiest thing about moving", "Do you feel like you know your way around the city yet, or does it seem daunting" "Want me to show you how to use Uber or the metro so you can get out more often", etc. AARP has a wealth of articles and suggestions on these topics on their website.[/quote]
