Vegas Baby!!!

So last week was a ton of fun. Jeff and I went to Vegas Monday night and stayed through till Wednesday night. I booked us a room at the MGM Grand and the room totally rocked! It was uber-modern and streamlined. It looked really cool. I'll try to remember to post a pic later. Anyway we did a lot of gambling and a whole hell of a lot of walking. I think I can be dubbed the walking Nazi after forcing Jeff to walk miles and miles in flipflops. His toes are still bruised. I guess all those torturous shoes I've worn for years have deadened all the feeling in my feet....oops.

While we didn't win any money, I have discovered an enjoyment in gambling. Before it scared the bejesus out of me and I would cringe at the thought of loosing my hard earned money. Jeff, however, described in a way that made me feel better about it. If you are playing at the low stakes tables or at the cheap slots, you are putting in $20 for an hour or two of entertainment. You pay the same thing for going to see a movie and the movie doesn't provide you with free drinks!!!

We also tried out the new monorail system. Ehh....I guess if you are going really long distances like from one end of the strip to the other it works well. But, if you are going a couple of casinos down, you walk just as much through the casinos to get to the monorail and in the same time you could have walked down the blvd. to the next one. And you have to wait anywhere from 5 min to 9 min. depending on the time of day you are traveling.

For all those Food Network fans out there, we ate lunch Wednesday at Bobby Flay's restaurant. Our meals were good but my plate was the perfect example of an upscale restaurant dining. Jeff had a nice filling pork tenderloin sandwich with seasoned fries. My meal of crab/cod cakes however, consisted of two 1 1/2 inch diamater cakes with about a 1/8 of a cup of red cabbage slaw. It was good but definitely not filling. I think that the most filling meal I had the entire trip was my breakfast at Denny's! Oh well!

We also went to Studio 54 Tuesday night. It was a lot of fun but we were already super exhausted to really get our boogie on. I do want to say that I wish that there was a law against certain people dancing. It really is frightening what some people will do when drunk and in Vegas.

I came back to work on Thursday...snore. But Saturday we went toobing. It was a blast but towards the end it got really cold because the sun had gone behind the trees. I realized while floating down the river that I was supposed to be somewhere either on Saturday and Sunday. When I got home from toobing I looked and found out that I missed one of Faye's Bridal Showers....eeks!!! I feel so horrible. I need to start putting a reminder on my phone for all these events! I need to call now and offer all of my apologies. I'm a horrible bridesmaid!

So now its Sunday and I'm back to work. June 30th can't come fast enough!
