Vegas in a nutshell

What can i say... its Vegas... larger than life 24/7.

Thursday

We got in around 6 vegas time, checked into our hotel (The Imperial Palace) and headed out to get some dinner. The hotel wasnt great, but it was good enough to sleep in. It is right across the street from Ceasars, and just down from everything else. Really a great location. We ended up going to Margaritaville (Jimmy Buffets Restaurant) for dinner. Nothing fancy just a burger type place. The first thing i noticed was that no matter what i heard Vegas isnt cheap. 4 drinks, 35 bucks. WOO HOO. Bargin city. After dinner we headed down to the Bellagio to check it out and the fountain show. A definate must see. They have multiple shows so its different all the time, but its pretty awesome. Checked out Paris for a bit and then headed back to crash early. Tired from the trip.

Friday

Got up early...damn time change... and headed down to the buffet for breakfast. NOt bad, but they did have champagne on tap. Classy. We headed to the pool for a bit and then the woman went shopping and the men went down to the casino for the craps lesson. It was pretty decent. They showed you most of the ins and outs of craps. So of course we hit the tables. I think that we ended up playing for about and hour and i ended up pretty much even. I can deal with that. We to the Forum shops at Caesars... very up scale and out of my range, but cool to look at no the less. Had a little lunch and headed farther down the strip to do the touristy thing. We hit some more casinos and M&M world. 4 freakin floors of M&M shit. Who woulda thunk it. We ended up at the MGM. Very nice. Sat in the piano bar and had some more 10 dollar drinks. More shopping for the woman, and more gambling for the men. Except the tables there were all $10. Im cheap and that was too much. So we found some place that actually sold affordable beer and bought 2 cases and hoofed it back to the hotel. Had a little dinner and back to the cheap casino in our hotel. My brother and sister in laws showed up and we started drinking. Hung out until about 2 and crashed.

Saturday

Got up too early, hungover and wanting sleep. It didnt happen we headed down to the Mandaly Bay and hit the buffet there. It was excellent. We walked back up the strip hitting all the hotels as we went. Excalibur, Luxor, New York New York. On the inside i definatley think the luxor is the coolest. The woman once again went shopping and we went to the Boardwalk. It advertised $3 dollar tables. They had 1. This was the biggest shit hole of all time, but they had $3.75 beers. We sat in the sports book and watched some football, until my b-in-law asked some crazy old fuck about the baseball game. This guy wouldnt shut up. Kept going on and on about gambling, baseball, the goverment, the election. He was crazier than a shit house rat. I finally just went to the bar and let the other 2 fend for themselves. We headed back to the hotel and hung out at the pool drinking fruity drinks before dinner.

I will get back to it later... this is probably enough to make you want to shoot yourself already. Nutshell my ass. I will also try and get some pics up.

More later.

Learn it, know it, live it!
