We got home late on Friday--later than we were supposed to--and I am definitely suffering a Vegas hangover. I am tired, my head hurts and feels fuzzy, my eyes are like two piss-holes in the snow, my body feels as if I have been beaten with whips and chains (ohhhhh, KINKY!!), and I am having trouble figuring out what the hell day it is. By the way, we had a GREAT time in Vegas!!
I'm sure I will tell more involved stories over the next little while, but, basically, we walked too much, didn't eat or sleep enough--actually, we didn't drink enough alcohol, either--and gambled too much. We did, however, come home with some money, so even though we DIDN'T win big, we are ahead of the game--we COULD'VE come home BROKE, after all!!
We plan on going back some day and have decided we will see more than one show the next time. Too little planned activities means too many hours spent in the casino--and too much money being spent. Also, I realize now that once you have seen one casino, you've seen them all--there sure ain't much difference between them. I also know I will never be rich enough to shop in most of the stores they have in the hotels/casinos--as a matter of fact, I will never be rich enough to even ENTER the stores! Tiffany, Ferragamo, Jimmy Choo, Cartier, etc, etc, etc. I guess they cater to the few who happen to get very lucky at the casinos!
I also learned, during this trip, just how bad my hockey addiction has gotten. Wednesday night, I had to DRAG myself from watching a game at the Sport Book--and the teams that were playing were the ones I like LEAST in the NHL: Nashville and Anaheim. I may be headed for an intervention and a stay at a rehab facility.
The Elton concert was fantastic. However, it WAS very adult--much nudity and adult themes were present. Actually, a very Vegas show. The man is very, very funny--he described Celine as a singing Q-tip and made several remarks that had us rolling in the aisles.
While we didn't spend a lot of money on merchandise, I did buy two Elton T-shirts. One depicts the Vegas show, the Red Piano and the other one--which is my fav of the two--is this:
As I told K, "Who said I ever left?!?!?!?" :)
