So, I'm going to Las Vegas next Monday and we'll be there for a week. We're staying at a fancy Casino/Resort through Thursday and are up in the air for the weekend (my wife has a business conference so I'm tagging along for no good reason). We're meeting our traveling couple partners for the weekend and we'll be doing one of those Cirque du Solie whatever things on Thursday and might catch the Pixies on Saturday night as we've been waiting to see them live for awhile but when they finally come to Houston, it's the day we leave for Vegas.

Anybody have any cheap suggestions on where to stay for the weekend and what to do? 8 things hit us at once so now we're having to do this on the cheap. Also, I've never been a gambler. If I had a shitload of extra money I might sit down at a table or two, but I'm not even going to try.

I'm already wishing I wasn't going.

Seeing The Pixies is rad. The rest is just filler.

[creepy]

That's how I'm starting to feel about the whole trip.

[Habs]

Just walk the strip and go inside the casinos, just that is an adventure and play the nickel slot a nickel at a time and they'll offer free drinks... You can get drunk for about 2$! Can't get cheaper than that.

4 things:

1) I like Roulette. It apparently likes me.

2) We wound up staying a few blocks off the strip and when we decided to not buy 8 dollar longnecks, we had $1.75 pints at some third rate casino (Ellis Island). Had more fun there than anywhere (Except for the above mentioned Roulette we played at the second rate Irish casinos) and we had a JOEY FATONE SIGHTING!

3) Saw some random asian guy* messing with his wallet at the Bellagio. He turned around and it was Johnny Chan. When he realized that we realized who he was, he disappeared through the slots.

4) *Brings me to my 4th point: I've never seen so many asian people in my life. It's like I took a 3 hour plane ride to Hong Kong.





No Pixies.
