Beautiful Daze

First off let me say, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas"(yes, I had to say it). I had a really great trip even though it was a business trip. This is an adult playground like no other. The luxury of the new hotels vs. the tacky/cheesiness of the old makes for a fascinating city.

We stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel, which is a very cool place to stay and play. Of course all of the rock memorabilia was something to see but the feel of the hotel was hip and modern and quite comfortable. This is sort of off season and it was quiet and I am not complaining. I am complaining about the fact that every casino I gambled at took all my money. Damn, I couldn't win to save my life. So much for buying a Trump Condo on the strip and living the high life.

I am tired! That's what happens when you drink too many Red Bulls and vodka, stay up late and gamble, etc. then get up at 6:30 the next morning and go to work. I'm paying the price today. Is it possible I am getting too old for the weekday partying?!? *cries*

Bottom line: I can't wait to go back.

Ah yes... Red Bull and Vodka. (I know the MD of Red Bull actually.)

Glad you're back safely.

I'd love to go to Vegas, unashamed kitsch

Zombie - Thanks. Sadly, I don't have many juicy stories. The majority of the time I was working, drinking, gambling or talking to strangers. Oh, and I ate a lot of great food. No $5.99 prime rib for me this trip.

WDKY - Yes, safe and sound,well at least safe.

Eyes - Thanks! Are you going soon? Go to the Hard Rock. Good times.

Zoozan - "unashamed kitsch" I love that and oh so true.
