    23 days? That trip alone is more than all my days that I have spent in Vegas in the past on 'separate' occasions. Good Luck, and don't be shy on the pictures at all.

    Ok, so random stuff in Vegas you may not have yet considered. The speakeasy where you have to text to get info and to be invited. Very 1920’s feel about it. Or the tiki bar that offers Dole Whip in the adult version. Or what about that bar/restaurant in the Miracle Mile that has cocktails every day, all day $10 for 3 drinks. And a cheap lunch special. OR the old-school Italian place that fetches you in a limo......those are the kinds of things I love to do, because they’re off the beaten track yanno?

    Afternoon was good. Went to Yard House with Eddie to have some half-yard Coronas and some food. He forgot his ID, so we had to go back to the hotel to get it. Bit of a PITA, but could have been worse.

    Stopped in at Casino Royale before hitting the $0.05 happy hour at 5 O’Clock Somewhere Bar. I bought in for $40 and played five hands of Free Bet blackjack at $10 each... lost four and pushed one. That’s the type of swing of bad luck that makes me wonder why I even bother.

    Took advantage of the $0.05 beers, buying three each and knocking those down. Now just back in the room having a rest (I’m running on 1.5 hours of sleep and Eddie is running on 3). We’re heading down to the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign next. Then walking up the street, registering for the beer pong tournament at Blondies and seeing where the night takes us :)
