I stole that from John Hodgman. But anyway, I spent the last week in Vegas.
The food was fantastic. The buffet at the Paris is top notch.
The food at the Stations (casinos for locals) is excellent at a great price, especially if your aunt has coupons. And when your aunt makes you salmon patties, matzot balls, and pineapple upside down cake, then the food just gets that much better.
The gambling was good. I mostly played Texas Hold'Em $1/$2 NL, but with mostly $5 chips, it was more like $1/$5 NL. I won $170 overall. Probably enough to cover all the food.
I did market research for CBS at the MGM. It was pretty awful, though, because the show we watched was the new Price is Right with the new host who is a nerd. I did get to watch a fat guy run, though. That might have been the most amusing part of it. No, typing my feedback was my favorite part. Lots of fun.
Wasn't really all that exciting though, but it was fun.
