After finally catching up on work after the six hour drive to Vegas, I debated what to do with myself. Hmm... It didn't take much to convince myself that the best way to keep myself sane and entertained was to hit the strip. We are staying in the Hampton, just across I-15, so I took advantage of the free hotel shuttle and told the driver to just drop me off anywhere he would recommend.
He drove me down most of the strip so I could see where everything was and then dropped me off at MGM. Walking into the casino was eye opening, seriously I thought my eyes were going to pop out of my head. I walked around the MGM casino in awe before heading out to the street and checking out the scene.
The outside was cool but the inside was better. I fought the foot traffic and started with the slots at the Monte Carlo. I spent the following four hours bouncing around casinos, playing slots and not losing money. I could have ended my night ahead but I got greedy and broke even. At least I didn't lose anything and got a few free gin and tonics out of the deal.
Today at work, I drove around with a rep to visit many of his clients. All day he gave me pointers as to where I need to go before I leave Vegas. I think I'll have to party hard this weekend (not that I wasn't planning to anyway) to hit them all. I think after the sister trip to New York, Las Vegas should be next. (hint hint)
Kyle is flying in to visit for the weekend, must be nice to fly for free. I had plans to go to Cincinnati this weekend but that was cancelled. Then again where would you rather be? I'll take Vegas!
