Waking up in Vegas
It's been a few days since I have posted. The flights to Vegas were uneventful. We got in on Thursday. Friday we went to see Blue Man Group at the Venetian, it was weird but really good. Saturday we went to see Human Nature, which is a Motown Tribute group at the Imperial Palace, and it was really good. We also saw Diva's which is a female impersonator show...I saw it years ago at the Riv, it seemed to be much better than. Both Thursday and Saturday night we ate at Hash House, the one on Sahara on Thursday and the one at the IP on Saturday before the shows.
Friday we went over to Lowes and purchased appliances...I needed a washer, dryer and refrigerator. I was told they wouldn't be delivered until Friday...they were going to try and get them earlier, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.
Sunday night I went to see Purple Reign at Hooters. It is a Prince tribute show...and I actually really enjoyed it. It had a slight bit of cheese too it, but it could be because of the hotel it was at. I could see Candy, loving the show. I could totally see her yelling up to him to sing Violet, the organ grinder since she loves that song so much.
Monday we went to sign the paperwork for the house. It took all of 20 minutes. The thing about Nevada is that they don't need lawyers to do closing. I just went to a title company. Everyone has been giving me congrats, but it's not a done deal yet. I have to wait until it's recorded with Clark County before I get the keys. It doesn't look like I will get them until Wednesday. There is a possibility I will get them late tonight, but I'm not sure. Once I get them then the real fun starts.
I have to meet with the house cleaning service to let them know what I want done but then I need to see when they can do it. I also have to meet with the property management company and my home insurance. It sucks that Erie doesn't have coverage in Nevada, because that's who I have in Maryland. So I went with Farmers...the guy was nice and seemed to know what he was talking about.
At this point everything is in my name as far as utilities, gas, water, electric and trash. I just pray that when I get there the power is on...because I started the service online. I guess I will find out when I get over there.
At this very moment, I'm sitting in the coffee shop at the Orleans working on my computer, right off the casino floor.
Today I have a a few conference calls. I will probably end up taking them on the road. Last night we were supposed to go to Fremont Street, but we just decided to come back to the hotel and chill since my mom had to get up early. Every week day I have been getting up at 5am so I could work for a few hours.
Tomorrow we are going to see O at the Bellagio and Saturday my mom is seeing Barry Manilow at Paris.
That's it for now.
