Viva LasVegas
Vegas was fun. It is not as glamorous as it seems on TV or in Movies, but I guess that is my own fault for being naive. It was a blast though. I have to say that is the most fun I have ever had losing money before. I only took 400 dollars out there with me and lost about $260. I had such a great time. I stayed at the MGM Grand, it was a great hotel, the room was a pretty nice size for a hotel room. The Casinos are amazing. It was almost like a theme park for adults. The hotels on the strip are all theme hotels. The Venetian was the most amazing, I have to say. It is like a little french city, they have gondola rides through a canal. It was sooo awesome. I have to say the funniest thing I saw was CASINO WAR....WTF...what a game of chance. I had to chuckle. The crazy thing was that Karim bet $100.00 on this stupid game and won. I was like WTF....are you kidding me.
Then there is downtown Vegas, its not on the strip, and that is where Vegas is. Its the smaller original casinos that started the Vegas of old, smaller scale casinos, with smaller minimum bets. That is where the money is. The older casinos seem to have slots that are more loose than the newer themed locations. The blackjack also seemed to be a better play there too. Although its a different style of blackjack, they deal face down and you use the cards to sweep the table to take a hit. That was kinda strange to me, but, what can you do.
I stayed pretty drunk most of the weekend and didn't sleep too much. There is soo much to do and see. I still didnt get to see a damn show, or ride any of the coasters. Time got away from me.
But all in all I have to say it was soo much fun. When I go back, it will have to be for more than 3 days.
