Vegas Baby
For years I had never had interest in going to Las Vegas. It seemed expensive and I never had an interest in gambling or abusive drinking so why bother. I was more interested in a place like New Orleans which has abusive drinking, sex, jazz, and gumbo and I love gumbo.
Since I moved to San Diego I realized that I'm not that far from Vegas, only a 4-5 hour drive (assuming I dodge traffic). With it that close I figure why not.
So, May 8-10th I'll be in Las Vegas with Stephanie. We already have our room reserved and the days taken off and now it's just a matter of heading up there. Not sure what we'll do and anyone I ask bombards us with suggestions, all of which sound ok but nothing that is a must see (we are actually missing Penn and Teller by a week :/ )
So, we'll just go with the flow and let Vegas lead the way. Hopefully I'll be money and not make an ass of myself. I'll have to take tips from all the exciting vegas movies including Fear and Loathing, Go, Swingers, and Leaving Las vegas.... well, maybe not Leaving Las Vegas.

I have several points.
#1. No Penn & Teller? Reschedule. Ok, maybe not, but damn. They rule. But you may as well see a cheesy magic show. I remember Lance Burton not being too bad.
#2. You have to be a little abusive with the gambling. That's part of the experience. Not that I've gambled in Vegas. Vegas, baby, Vegas.
#3. Abusive drinking. See #2.
#4. If you don't wake up one day, with no clue where you are or how you got there, dressed up like a lizard in a flooded hotel room, then you just didn't try hard enough.
A friend (I won't say who *cough*Jason*cough*) told me that he actually lit a joint and walked down the strip without being hassled. I'm not recommending that, but I will say that any trip to Vegas without at least a minor risk of incarceration probably isn't worth it.
So at least jaywalk or something.
I'm good a jaywalking.
