The end of Full day #1...

Hey blog fans...Vegas is a blast this year. Here is the run down of our activities today. We walked about 50 miles...thank God for my Nike Shox(Good call UNC). So here it is...sit back and enjoy an adult beverage, we have and we will some more.

We woke up about 9am(home time, 6 local). We took our time getting ready and headed out for some much needed coffee. There is a little Starbuck around the corner, and it was perfect. They have the perfect people watching window. It is air conditioned and overlooks the the little outdoor Mall area by Harrahs. So we drank some coffee, relaxed and did some people watching.

After that we headed to get a Monorail pass. The Monorail comes right up behind our hotel. It is a pretty quick way to get up and down the strip. On our way to the Monorail, Jenny had a coupon for a free pearl from a live oyster at one of the local jewelers. It was fun to pick it out(Now forgive me but I am not up on my pearl values). We picked up a nice 7.4mm pink pearl. Jenny picked out a nice setting. It is beautiful, and will make a nice piece for her for a long time.

We headed for our Monorail pass and made our way down to the MGM Grand. We hit the Grand Canyon experience and picked up something for one of Jenny's friends. Then it was off to the 1/2 price tickets place. We didn't find anything we wanted, so we headed to do some sight seeing on that end of the Strip. We hit Mandalay Bay. Walkded around a bit and saw the 4 story wine rack that has Wine angels in black cat suits and harnesses "floating" up and down to get wine. It was beautiful. Then we headed back to our hotel for some relaxation.

For dinner we hit the Rio. It is a pretty cool place. They have a seafood buffet there in my life so far has been unmatched. OMG. We ate way too much and enjoyed every bit of it.

We went to the Casino Royale for an offer they had for $50 of free slots play. What a joke. You got a voucher that you could only play in one machine and the only way you could win was to hit the Jackpot. The lady next to me was up to $380 and couldn't take a dime of it unless she hit the big Jackpot(she wasted her luck on that crappy machine). Then we saw the midget stripper card girl. Sorry, no picture to report...she was working a deal with some other dudes.

We watched some Karaoke...and laughed our butts off. Oh yeah, and then while walking we saw this little old lady. Like 70 or 80 and she used a cane to walk. She had her cane in one hand and a "Yarder". I just couldn't let that moment pass. I asked her if she drank the whole thing. She laughed and said "oh god no, I had help". She was absolutely adorable.

Tomorrow we are heading for Fremont St. Something we skipped last year and won't this. Then dinner with Minnie...oh and pictures will start popping up tomorrow.

I am going to take some notes tomorrow. There are so many little funnies that happened.

We are missing Sharkboy, but on the phone, he could care less if we are there or not. Well I am beat...time for sleep.

Be Kind, Stay Safe (and cool...we can't)

Shalom my peeps.
