vegas

vegas was fun, more expensive then i remember though. :) i was not lucky this time. i lost at everything i played. craps, blackjack, roulette, texas hold em, stupid slot machines.. you name it, i lost.

there were lots of highlights...here is what i remember

1. ryan and i went on one of the rides at the top of the stratosphere.

this ride hangs over the side of the stratosphere 800 feet above the strip.

you get in, pull the bar up onto your lap and then the seatbelt clicks into place. well, of course, the seatbelt wouldn't fit. :) so it took 2 grown men jamming the bar into my lap far enough so that the seatbelt would click. so humiliating.. :)



2. emily bought me a button that said the big 3-0. and then it said old old old old old... and they wore stickers that said, "old farts friend".. so nice..





3. you can't think that if there were irish boys in vegas LK and i wouldn't find them... LK has video of them even. good times, good times! i found out that hope *hates* irish guys. she was disgusted while LK and i were having a great time. ces't la vie.



4. tuesday night we went to margaritaville for my bday. for 9 of us to sit down it would have taken 1.5 hours, so we pulled together some tables on roof.. the waiter warned us that it would be too cold, we were like, pshaw!! we'll be fine.. well. we were freezing out asses off. it was the fastest dinner on record. em and ryan found it necessary to buy 5 drinks at a time.


because it was my bday i got an ice cream sundae for free, which em and cath scarfed down..


5. we saw O wednesday night. it was absolutely breathtaking. indescribable.. if you are going to vegas, spend the money and go see this show. my favorite were the red coat guys.. this was their leader. they only had on black speedos and garter belts under those coats.



6. the flight back was more entertaining then the flight out.. first, LK got stopped in the airport security because she had a lighter, and i guess hope told the security people it was because "she is going to burn the plane down". its a wonder LK didn't get arrested. i couldn't believe it when i heard that story. but the flight attendant was so funny this time. he got the whole plane to clap and cheer when the last people got on the plane. the woman was SOOOOO pissed. it was great! then during the flight he made everyone sit down and he took a roll of TP and put one end in the toilet in the back of the plane, and rolled the rest all the way to the front of the plane, then he had someone in the back flush the toilet. the TP flew down the aisle.. very funny.

here are all the pics.
