Notes from Las Vegas
Spent the weekend in Las Vegas. You can't spend a couple days in Las Vegas without seeing and hearing some interesting things...
I was sitting at a blackjack table with a couple of guys from Holland. They spoke nothing but Dutch, except for a couple of words in English for the dealer. Until finally, when one of them left to do something else and the other one said "See you later, alligator." (Very funny in a Dutch accent.)
I must be getting bigger. Sat down at one table and the guy next to me asked if I work out, then asked for my advice on whether or not he should take steroids. Apparently, he has friends who've done it with good results. (My clearly expert advice was that he shouldn't take it, but I chose not to remind him that steroids are illegal.)
OK, say what you want about the French, but I was waiting for the next Bellagio fountain show next to a French couple, and the man decided to buy a flower for his girlfriend from a street vendor. When the woman protested with the cutest little pouty "Cheri" (yes, she actually called him Cheri), I have to admit part of me wanted to be French (OK, or at least date a French woman), too.
Stayed at a great hotel -- a Motel 6 just across the highway from the Strip. When I went out to my car Sunday morning, there was a police car in the parking lot and a very upset-looking couple. Then I looked at their green Mustang, 2 spots down from my car. At some point during the night, all 4 of the car's wheels had been removed, leaving the car propped on a broken plastic chair. Note to self: park under a lightpost next time.
All in all, a good trip -- great weather, saw the new casino, the Bellagio fountains, the Prince tribute band that plays at the cheesy Boardwalk casino, and played many songs on killer drumming game Drumscape (in the NY, NY arcade). Oh yeah, and was never down any money the whole trip and won over $600. (You could, too. I know the perfect book to learn how.)
