Vegas!
After a long absence from Las Vegas, several abortive attempts to go with Barry over the last 2 years... Barry planned a quick trip. Work wasn't trying to kill me or force me to work weekends, so I thought about it, then said screw it, I'm going.
Trip highlights:
- Obscene gas prices on the way in. $2.729 for premium. Ouch. Thankfully we didn't actually have to pay that...
- A highly ugly Honda Civic. 4 Honda badges visible on the back end alone. EWwwww.
- Two stops in Primm (35 miles south of Vegas) to shop at the outlets, and for some of us, gamble a little.
- A hotel room with a beautiful view at Bally's. Man. Wow.
- One extremely hot girl at Caesar's. I don't know what Barry bitches about in terms of a lack of hotties around where he lives/works, there are plenty in SoCal... but man, I do agree with him. The girl Eric, Barry, Bernier, and I saw at The Forum at Caesar's... wow..
- Buffet at Paris. Quite yummy. The usual prime rib, shrimp cocktail, and stuff... they also had smoked salmon and soft cheese (MMMMMMMMMM!), roast lamb, and some other goodies.
- The water show at Bellagio. I hadn't seen it before. Very cool. Inside our room, it looked cool... outside, it was even cooler! (sorry, I'm not posting the video, it's good, but not that good...)
- Getting lost on the way to downtown Las Vegas' chinatown. Whoops. Found C10 (100 octane race gas) at the Union 76 we stopped at, though. *sighs wistfully* If only my car was turbo...
- Walking about 2 miles extra to find the 46oz super big margaritas at Fat Tuesday's, while Barry and Bernier were already quite faded...
The standard drunken debauchery applies, too. Plus a bit of gambling.
I'm debating posting more... but I don't want to compromise anyone's dignity. Hmm...
