Fun, Fast, Fabulous and Furious Trip to Las Vegas




Las Vegas was a blast! We arrived in Vegas on Thursday night, checked into the Bellagio and hit the ground running. The first stop was my favorite restaurant Fix for some lobster tacos, Kobe beef sliders and cocktails. After dinner, we hit the slots and literally, I won on every machine I played!! At 2am Vegas time( 5am Atlanta time) after drinking my fill of my Vegas beverage of choice, Mandarin Vodka and soda, I crashed only to wake up around 8am Vegas time. It was 108 degrees outside at 9am and it was so unbearably hot but we shopped and walked down Las Vegas Boulevard to the MGM Grand to use the $100 Free Play I had and to see the lions. I walked out with an extra $50 in my pocket. We cabbed back to the Bellagio and met a man who advises clients on which slots to play and he recommended that we play the new EBay machines. There is a bank of 8 machines together and every now and then, you get a community bonus. I turned $20 into $200 in no time. It was a blast. Friday night we went to the Lucky Cheng Drag Show and it was a riot. I have alot of good pictures of the drag queens doing their thing. More drinking and gambling ensued. Saturday was a 3 hour all you can drink champagne brunch followed by a 5 hour tear on the Jackpot Party machines where we met the nicest people with whomwe drank and partied. I actually went up to the room around 9pm and decided to take a nap but passed out. My friends were calling but my phone was on silent and I missed the bonus rounds on Ebay. We left the hotel at 4am Sunday for a 6am flight home. We arrived in Atlanta around 1pm.....when the rain had stopped. Fast, furious and fun! Can't wait to go back.

The one Vegas show that I'm interested in seeing is Zumanity. Either that or a UFC event. The gambling thing doesn't really appeal to me.
