Vegas was ridiculous. I guess I should go by the slogan “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas” but I feel the need to share on at least a little bit esp. one memorable quote from my friend - “Jesus I sure am scared coz I will be showing my loins in a minute”. Yes, she did say “loins” in 2005.
This time I took a completely different Vegas approach from my norm. I stayed at the MGM Grand and flew in on Friday. My nights were basically about casino hopping and bar hopping within the casinos. I hit all the casinos from Caesars Palace to Mandalay Bay (about 12 casinos times about 4 bars in each casino = about 48 bars in 2 nights). That is a lot of Long Islands and a bunch of shows!
Of all the shows I attended, the most awesome one was a Prince impersonator show (insert Purple Rain instrumental here). Anyway, I was mostly tipsy during the nights/early mornings and just did a bunch of stuff during the day. I came back home $50 richer!
Sunday was a day spent at the pool till I sensed a tussle in my belly that promised to cause more fracas than the Tupac-Biggie West Coast-East Coast fight. I surely did appease the porcelain gods with an offering that managed to simultaneously undermine the lives of all the people who ever worked in the ceramic industries.
I almost missed my flight (this African time thing that is ingrained in me … my dad was once 12 hours late. He was supposed to drive me to boarding school at 9AM, left home at 8Am to “do a couple of things” and I didn’t see him till 9PM). Damn Katrina man! Real bad news for Louisiana.
