Las Vegas Rocks!

Amy and I spent a whirlwind weekend in Las Vegas. We got in Friday about noon, Amy got upgraded to first class so I upgraded myself for $75 which rocked. We could do airport check-in for the hotel, which Amy did while I battled the masses for our luggage, then took a cab to the MGM. We decided Amy needed a cute outfit so after a couple of warmup beers, we headed to the Forum Shops at Caeser�s and loaded her up. Then we proceeded to load ourselves up with fruity drinks from Fat Tuesdays, followed by a little blackjack at San Remo (soon to be the Hooters Casino!). We grabbed some dinner at Wolfgang Puck�s (shrimp scampi and parmesan risotto for me, steak and fries for Amy) and went to bed (or passed out) about 8:00. I was up about $200 which I was thrilled with.

Saturday we were up at the buttcrack of dawn so we grabbed some Bloody Mary�s and breakfast and did a little more shopping and play a little slots. I won $125 and then some guy gave Amy and I $20 for being beautiful and told us we should play the slots with it. Then we headed to the Palm�s to see what that was all about. So we hop in a cab - and WHO is our driver? The same guy who drove us from the airport on Thursday. He said in 12 years of driving cabs, that is only the third time that has happened. We got tickets for celebrity Poker on Saturday night and I got to see Jesse Metcalf (hunky John from Desperate Housewives) almost get in a fight in the poker room. After that exciting drama, we played blackjack and had quite a few beers, watched the Wisconsin game and generally amused ourselves with some new pals we met at the bar.

We went back to the MGM to beautify and decided that we would skip the poker thing as it wa like 5 hours long. I had 3 goals for this trip: go somewhere I never had gone (the Palms), eat somewhere really yummy and see someone famous. I had gotten 2 out of the 3 underway although I don�t know if we�d count a drunk, been playing poker all night B list actor a celebrity, but ok. Amy said she felt a little slutty in her sheer black sweater/black bra combo and I was showing about 4� of cleavage (and plenty more where that came from) which I never do so I felt kind of slutty too. Compared to the other girls who were out and about at the Palms, I told Amy we look a couple of nuns. Wow, some of those chicks were almost showing T AND A. So, I revise that-Amy and I looked SMOKIN' hot, not at all slutty.

We decided to skip the 5 hour Poker taping and went to Lawry�s Prime Rib for a kick ass dinner then back to the Palms for more fun. We ended up sitting down at a blackjack table with 2 couples for about 4 or 5 hours and had a blast. Then, who should be playing at the table behind us-yep, George Costanza himself, Jason Alexander. That was kind of cool and no one was really bothering him which I thought was nice. We ended up running into our original pals from the afternoon, so after a few more beers (or blind Russians or something, not really clear on that), we headed back to the MGM where I decided to play blackjack until 6:30 in the morning. The Palms is a lot of fun, the music is good and loud, but holy Chihuahua-there are a LOT of really drunk 21-ish year olds. Amy saw 2 puking in the bathroom and one passed out and I saw 2 of them bawling into their cell phones. Ah, youth.

I had an 11:30 flight so I was up at 9, then off to the airport at 9:30. McCarren on a Sunday sucks�the security line was ridiculous although it went pretty fast. My flight was delayed about 1 � hour so I went to the bar, had some lunch and a couple of Bloody Mary�s. I met a couple guys that were very nice so I chatted with them, mostly about sports and then off to my flight. My flight was super full so no first class upgrades. I mostly slept the whole way, then went to Shannon and Chad�s to watch the game. I am very surprised that I made it through the game but I did and the Packers won so life is grand.

Tomorrow is knee surgery so this is your only blog entry for the week unless I get motivated and post from my den of recovery (aka Shannon�s). Happy Turkey Day!
