Dreaming of a White Christmas

Ok then, this is the official re-cap of the last day and a half in Vegas, which may be slightly censored, and may have parts left out....

After the buffet my dad went to play poker and I ventured out on the Strip. I spent countless hours taking ridiculous photos with myself and statues, buildings etc. I gather crowds with my methods though because I would use stuff to balance my camera on random things like tress or garbage cans.

I ended up back at MGM by 6pm just in time to go and see David Copperfield. This show, is amazing. I do not have the slightest idea how the hell he pulled of his final two tricks. They just don't seem possible. At all. Go see the show if you get the chance.

After it was over we wandered the strip for a bit before heading back to the Bat at Time Square. There we had more drinks, and singing and dancing than can be imagined. We met a bunch of guys from Iowa State and partied with them, and when my dad finally gave up around 3:30-4am I took off with the Iowa guys. I ditched them shortly after for Twins though. 24 year old Twins. Go me!

Needless to say, the next morning was not fun. We didn't wake up in time for check out, but that got solved in the end. We dropped out bags off at the bell, and my dad played Poker. I wandered the strip but only made it to the Starbucks at Mandalay Bay before falling asleep for 3 hours. We ended the night with some dinner, and the Larger than Life Show by Louie Anderson. Again, he was hilarious. So cool to see a childhood hero! I even got a signed Life with Louie t-shirt in the end. What a great guy.

That is where the trip ended... we got in a cab, and headed to McCarren to leave to be back in Barrie. It doesn't feel like I've only been home for 12 hours. It feels like the trip was days ago, and I think thats the effect Vegas may have on people.

Note: Photos are up on my FlickR. They are hilarious according to Megan. She gives them two thumbs up, and a pinky!
