Tuesday...and Pre-Birthday chatter.

Hey Blog readers...I am getting ready for my birthday in Vegas today. I sure hope there is something to do...LOL.

Yesterday we ventured down to the Fremont Street during the day. It was pretty quiet. I am guessing it is much more hopping at night. The old casinos were pretty cool...Golden Nugget, Binions, 4-Queens. There was just a musty old smell that made you realize the history that was there. Oh yeah, and the smell of "out house" in some places that just made you want to go back to the strip.

In the afternoon Jenny took her bikini and I-pod to the pool and I took a little nap. It was very nice. Then we went to Toby Kieths "I Love this Bar & Grill" for some food. It was cool, Jenny thinks he is hot and was drooling over all the pictures of him. I on the other hand was drooling over the Jean Mini-skirt, black tank top and "take me home boot" wearing waitresses. Oh...and the food was pretty tasty too.

We haven't had much luck with the gambling. We in, all honesty, also haven't really been focusing on it either. I am up about $10 total, and Jenny...well, we will just say she isn't. There is a lot to do here other than gamble and we are doing a lot of it.

In the evening we met up with our friend Minnie and her Daughter Corina. They are hilarious. We had a nice dinner at The Forum Shops at a nice authenitic mexican place called La Salsa Cantina. Good food and the drinks were yummy too. We did some window shopping around the shops and laughed at people(for some reason, my sense of humor is similar to a 13 y/o girls...interesting). The funniest part is that Minnie isn't very good with directions and we spent at least half an hour wandering around looking for her exit for her valet. It was a hoot and when we finally found her car, she insisted on taking us back to the hotel(that was an interesting ride...let's just say, I am glad Las Vegas allows U-turns).

Some funny things we had happen/saw yesterday...

While at Harrah's sitting at a slot, a drunk handicapped man with a walker caught our attention while he was insisting on tipping one of the cocktail waitresses. After she accepted his $1, he turned his attention to me. He said "Sir, can I tell you something?" Me of course recognizing drunk slurred speach and assessing the situation as harmless responded with "sure". He slurred out "I have to tell you, your wife is absolutely stunning." Jenny in her innocent nature thanked him for his compliment, and I did as well. He then continued with something like this...(may not be exact his speach went really drunk and quiet). "She's got big...ba ba booms..." While he said that, he made an obscene hip thrust, in his walker. We were both disturbed, but I was winning at the machine and couldn't pass up some extra funds. All the while I played, he was giving "drunken color commentary" next to me. I was up to like $40 and cashed out, so I didn't loose it on this guy.

6/25/08...

So blog fans you are noticing that this is really late in posting, and you would be correct. While in Vegas on Wednesday, my birthday, I became engrosed in all things not blogging and didn't feel the blogging force hit me the rest of the trip. So let's just recap the rest of the week. Wednesday...birthday in Vegas. Wondered around, saw "Vegas Style Review" Folies Bergere(I like boobies), then a late night of drinks and cigar smoking. While finishing my cigar in the garden area of the casino we got to witness the Flamingo Las Vegas undercover security guys at work. Some feral teenagers/maybe just turned 21 kids wandered in and were disrupting the otherwise peaceful area. Thursday we spent the day at the pool in our private cabana. OMG...it was so relaxing. Sorry for Jenny's friends, no Cabana boy, but there was a hot cabana girl(yeah me...see previous comment). Minnie and Corina again joined us for the day and relaxed with us. Great conversation and laughs were shared. In the evening we made some last minute wonderings around and otherwise finished our day of relaxing.

Friday we came home. This is where the other half of my excuse for not blogging comes in. I am a bone head. I, in all of my infinate wisdom, left the laptop cord in the hotel room. I realized this in the airport when I was attempting to add some music to Jenny's I-pod. I contact the hotel and after several attempts spoke with a very nice lady in their security division and they had found my cord. It is currently in transit here via UPS. So no laptop...no blogging, until today when I had some time at work to jump on and blog. Since Vegas there has been nothing too monumental to post. So I will conjure up a list of points to hit and post later tonight.

So for now, Be Kind, Be Safe (and don't forget you laptop cord)

Shalom my Peeps.
