Come On With Me, Tramps Like Us, Baby We Were Born To Run!! May 15-19, 2017

The pictures and videos of the Britney show was very enjoyable. The shots were so vivid that I felt like I was there!

I agreed when you mentioned that you took a lot of pictures at the show but when you said that you shared only a fraction of what you took I bust a gut laughing! It's amazing but I really feel like your pictures are much better clarity wise than actually being there to see it for yourself, if you can understand my drift, LOL!!

You seem to be doing what you love to do, and I must say you are very, very good at it.

Thanks again!

 

You seem to have a type at the pools!

 

Brittney pics are good.....very close up and tells me she's starting to show her age in her face. I guess when you're on behavioral drugs to keep you level headed it takes a toll. Glad she's bounced back nicely and has become what she has but you can tell she's showing her age in her face for sure.

Love the TR and the early starts and late finishes. I could never do it!

 

Great pics!

Establishing an alibi for whatever's going down in Houston, my man.

 

Such clear, amazing photos! Great job!

 

This thread is spectacular. That is all.

 

Day #4. Thursday, May 18, 2017.

I woke up at 7:52am. A little later than I normally do. For breakfast I ate at the Cravings Buffet inside the Mirage. 9:42am. Good food.

I then putzed around inside & outside the Mirage taking pictures.

I then went to Madame Tussauds at the Venetian. 11:44am. A Hulkbuster statue was outside near the ticket booth. Madame Tussauds is one of my favorite places to visit when I'm in Vegas.

For dinner I ate at LVB: Burgers & Bar inside the Mirage. 6:40pm. I had the Kick In The Kisser burger, fries, & a Diet Coke. Everything was very good.

After dinner I watched two volcano eruptions. Took pictures of the first & a video of the second. From the first:

On my way back to my room, I walked through the MGM Grand (used the tram). Even though I've been inside the MGM Grand many times over the years, I've never seen the crowd that waits to go inside Hakkasan night club.... until this trip. I was a bit wowed by the scene. I took a couple pictures & a video.

Shortly after I shot the video, someone from the club's security told me that for security purposes no one is allowed to take pictures & videos of the people waiting to get inside. I said sorry, that I wasn't aware of the rules, & that I had never seen so many people there. I then continued on to my room. I made it back to my room at 11:34pm.

Next up is Going Home day.

LOL at seeing the Jenna J. wax figure pic. Brought back a Vegas memory for me:

My bride really wanted me to pose with her until I explained who she was.
Then I had to explain how I knew who she was!

Continued awesomeness in this TR, xman30! Great pics!!!
Thanks much!

8:52pm...i thoroughly enjoyed this thread

 

Absolutely fantastic pictures!! And crazy about all those people waiting to get in the club at MGM. I can only imagine the money they make there on a single night. They stopped catering to the casino crowd and now cater to the club folks. The clubs and the fancy, high priced celebrity restaurants are the money makers!!

 

6:53pm...I liked your post!!!

9:42 pm, I read the post but didn't click on the "funny" emoji until 9:45pm.

 

This report was, as we used to say eating mushrooms in college, a "Treee-upp"

Great pics.

Go Astros.

 

Great pictures. Thanks!

 

Great trip report. Really enjoyed the pics!

 

No doubt. These days you go to your local to gamble and you Vegas in Vegas.

 

Going home day. Friday, May 19, 2017.

Sorry for taking so long to do this post.

I woke up at 7:30am. For breakfast I ate at the buffet inside Excalibur. 8:21am. Good food. After breakfast I checked out & checked my bag (which took way too long). I had a few hours to kill before I got picked up for the airport. I first went to Hershey's Chocolate World to get some chocolate for some friends. I spent a lot more money than I thought I would.

On my way to the Bellagio I saw a camera crew shooting a promo for some music awards show that was going to happen that weekend.

IMG_2365 by grooverman, on Flickr

When I got to the Bellagio I bought a nice shirt for my mom.

I got picked up & made it to the airport safe & sound. I found out that my flight was delayed. My flight took off about 45 minutes late. I made it back home in Houston safe & sound.

I already have the dates set for my next trip to Vegas. December 18-22, 2017. Get there on a Monday, leave on a Friday. Pretty standard for me. I haven't decided where I'll be staying. Right now it's a tossup between MGM Grand & Mandalay Bay. Here is a link to my album on Flickr that has the pictures from this trip: https://www.flickr.com/photos/40992079@N07/albums/72157680912635814

Well, that's all for this trip. Thank You for reading & the compliments. Until next time, have a good one!!!

Thanks for the TR. Tons of great pictures!

 

Thanks for awesome TR really enjoyed all pics & videos....
By the way, you don't gamble? Or is it sharing too much info?

 

Tremendous TR! Really really good descriptions and pics/vids.

I'll be in Vegas with you in December!
