Vegas Baby!

Well I hope that Ryan and Amber had more fun with Dad and Jane in Vegas than I did with my friends for the weekend . What's all the hype about??? If you don't have money for gambling or shows what else is there to do?

I walked (much cheaper than a taxi) to many of the hotels hoping for at least some kind of attraction to visit. Besides the beautiful aquarium at Mandalay Bay I was unsuccessful. The hotels are truly impressive in their decor and design but when you get down to it, they are very large, pretty hotels.

There were a few interesting stores but not many. LOVED the M&M store. Nothing like four floors of M&M's and M&M items to purchase. The Coke store right next to it was cute but not as impressive as the one in Atlanta.

For all my female friends, I highly recommend you never stay at the Hooters Hotel and Casino. I never thought I would have an issue with tiny girls with tiny butts and, dare I say it, HOOTERS, but enough was enough. It wasn't just Hooters though. All the hotels has wait staff (mostly women) in barely there outfits. Average age had to be 28 years old.

If you ever get the opportunity to see the comedian Bobby Slayton I suggest you run the other direction. I've seen some bad comedians but this guy was the worst! I didn't even laugh through 3/4 of his show which is at Hooters and he's the headliner!

No one bothered to tell me that if you're gambling that the drinks are free. I had no clue! It's a good thing I don't drink much anyway. I could have at least had a couple of hundred dollars worth of sodas though.

These are my initial thoughts. I'm not done but will get back to this post when I've got the ringing from the slot machines out of my head.
