Vegas baby, Vegas
2001, May 7th
As the headline reads, we went to Vegas. There was money spent. There was gambling done. I won almost enough at black-jack to pay off my slot debt. Almost. Still, fun was had.
We stayed at the Luxor, a lovely hotel with an Egyptian theme. They have an IMax theatre in the lobby. We saw both of the shows. The Blue Man Group performs there. Gary and I went to that show and had a regulation butt- load of fun. That would be the American butt-load and not the imperial one. The show defies description, so just go and blame me if you fail to have a good time. I bought the audio CD so if you come to my house you can hear the show, but you won’t get it.
While we were there, we visited the Las Vegas Hilton and did “Star Trek the Experience.” OK, this was a bit hokey, but they had a shuttle simulation ride that was a great deal of fun. I did it twice.
