Day Two and Three and Four

Well I hope the last post gave you an idea of Vegas. After going to bed at 8 am or whatever I woke up Friday afternoon at 2:30ish. Heho had been up playing since 9 am or something (what a beast). We grabbed some food and walked the strip a bit and before I knew it, it was 9:30 pm and time for us to go to LOVE, the cirque de soleil beatles show. Henry had snagged front row balcony seats and it was perfect

The show was great, if I had to sum it up I would go with "acrobatic chaos set to beatles music." I have loved every cirque show Ive ever seen and still want to see them all!

The rest of the trip can be summed up as a sleeping a little, eating a little



(we hit up the dinner buffet at Planet Hollywood, here Im crushing the seafood section with a little alaskan king crab legs, salmon, shrimp tempura, fried fish, and boiled shrimp NOM NOM NOMMMMMMMM)

and then a whole lot of poker



on this particular night I bought in for $200 and left with $1450 or something, so that was nice. 90% of the table hated my guts and I had one guy raging so much I thought he was going to physically attack me. ALLS FAIR IN LOVE AND CARDS BOYS. Henry and I both ended up $$$ on the weekend which is always great

The trip is a blur, just lots of being awake and gambling. Henry and I avoided the pit pretty well (pit = table games that you lose lots of money on) except for one little -$200 blip at roulette, where we gathered a crowd by making 100$ bets in towers of 1$ chips stacked 100 high. It was fun until we both lost all our money :( but i did fall in love with the dealer :) (who got no tip because I busted, haahahahhaha)

henry flew out sunday morning at 7 am so we just stayed up till 5 am on saturday night and he headed out and I passed out. I checked out of the hotel late on Sunday and then watched basketball/football games in the sportsbook of the MGM until I had to head to the airport at 5ish.

All in all it was a fun but exhausting trip. Ive been trying to recover from my wonderful 5-8am until 1-3pm sleep schedule all week and just muttering how vegas wore me out. I thought heho would feel the same way, but I check my email today and see this:

"If you're interested in a trip, let me know. even though we just got back, ive still got the itch. 2.5 days just isnt enough. im thinking 13th-19th or so. excalibur = $25/night total."

hahaha hes a beast

PS- OH YEA GRANDMA, i forgot I put your $10 in the quarter slots and decided I would pull 10 times on max bets and cash out whatever was left (up or down). You are now 5$ richer my dear, after the 10th pull I had $15 in credits and cashed that baby out. Congrats!

PSS - notice how they laser cut the crab legs or something right in half so you dont even have to crack em. Laziness at its best!
