Sin City, yup that's right I'm in Las Vegas! That means caffeine headaches, red meat and face cards!! (As I sit in my hotel room at 7:45p.m. drinking a glass of water on a Saturday night updating my blog) We're talking wild!
We started off the trip with some gluttonous burritos (but that was still in Oregon), I'm sure its just a sign of things to come! Here is a picture of Aron directly following that burrito
This was Aron a little later after the burrito had digested but it was a huge burrito (the guy is like a python, he swallowed it whole)...
Much happier!
When we landed it was easy to see that we weren’t in Oregon anymore. The place just invited you to let your hair down and enjoy the sunshine. This is just the airport.
Our hotel was just on the other side of the airport so we didn’t have far to go but it was easy to see on the short ride that we weren’t in Kansas any other state that works 9 to 5.
It’s also clear to see that money is different here. In the rest of the country people are looking for ways to save money, stretch their dollar, and reduce costs. Here they are looking for any one with a bad architectural idea to throw money at (see above photo). Or get multiple cars and “murder them out” (make them all black for us non-MTV watching folk).
Our hotel is the Luxor, famous in Las Vegas for the light that shines at the top and can be seen from space. It’s also unique in that it’s the one that looks like a pyramid. Here are some of the photos from the inside…
The photo above is looking up at the rooms from casino floor (yup casino, you know where you’ll find me, at the nickel slots; easy money;-)
The photo below is looking down on the mezzanine level from our balcony on the 24th floor.
And finally we made it, our room! As you might be able to see from the picture our windows are slanted inward as they make up the outside of the pyramid. I’ll get some photos from the outside tomorrow. For now There’s a CRYSTAL (light) waiting for me in the bathroom sink (on ice of course), LET PARTY!

the picture of me on the plane was the motivation i needed. I am now going to wear baggier shirts. You didn't think i was going to say diet did you.
no, "exercise" but I guess just as ridiculous.
