Viva Las Vegas

It looks like the Vegas airport has free Wi-Fi. I will be getting back home just in time to start the day 5:30am.

I checked into Mandalay Bay Monday and I have already learned a few things:

1. To go anywhere on the property (oh yeah it’s called a “property” not a hotel) you have to go through a casino (good marketing)
2. There are no coffee pots in you hotel room. The reason there is not a black jack table, slot machine or pit boss in your room.
3. High Speed internet is $11.00 a day (I showed them my Hilton Honors Diamond card, still $11.00 a day). The reason if you’re in your room checking e-mail, you’re not gambling.
4. They do not pump oxygen into your hotel room; I am ready to doze off at any minute
5. If you are a male and when you become old and wrinkly come to Las Vegas because you can still get chicks: I’ve seen it with my own eyes.
6. No matter what you weigh or what body type you have,you can wear a thong, Speedo or bikini around the pool.

Day 2: and I am already out of money (Big buck dinner at China Grill last night) but no need to worry there are ATM’s everywhere. My ATM receipt had an advertisement for the local gamblers anonymous group. Maybe it’s a little late to have it on the receipt; I already had my money and was heading back to the tables before I noticed it.

Day 3: its 1:00 am or 4:00 am depending on what time zone you’re in. My body is still not sure. I found out that they still have not changed the advertisement on the ATM receipt. If they changed to name of the game from “21” to “23” I would have a whole lot of money in my pocket.

Day 4: with 4 hours of sleep and the jet lag taking its toll I am awake and ready for the final day of our annual kick-off. We had a great dinner/party at the Manadalay Beach last night, as I had predicted (2) people ended up in the wave pool. A few too many beers and beach breezer drinks last night has taken it affect on this 40 year old.

I just won $20.00 bucks on a $5.00 play on a slot machine at the airport, this is the only place that I have won, I guess I should have just stayed in the airport and played the slots here, kind of like Tom Hanks in Terminal.
