We touched down in Las Vegas Thursday, and immediately commenced upon a spree of booze, food, and gambling that would have made Henry VIII proud. Leaving soggy and cold Seattle behind for sun-kissed 85-degree desert-heat Vegas was a welcome break.
Thursday night we cavorted at Poly Esther's nightclub, since it was the only club we could find that would admit the casual attire of our party. We molested the wax statues of Madame Tussaud's at the Venetian, watched Penn & Teller work magic, and bowled at Lucky Strike Lanes at the Rio, where Beca rolled her personal best score of 174!
Saturday, Ad and I visited Hoover Dam, which lived up to it's hype. And in the wee hours of the morning, we played our favorite slot machine, "Ring Quest", and I hit a 20,100 credit jackpot (in pennies, sadly), making this my first Vegas trip where I left with winnings.
Ad and I are getting along better and better, even under the duress of a grueling return trip plagued by insanely long security lines, delayed flights, and tarmac shuttle mishaps at LAX (Note to self: Spring for the extra cost for direct flights unless it's obsenely expensive next go-round).
