Las Vegas review!
Well, we made it home Thursday evening about 6 PM. We had a great time. Here's a brief review of what we did:
*Saturday evening: arrived about 5 PM Vegas time. Rented a car and dropped Mom at the hotel (stayed at the Bellagio), and I drove out to Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Didn't go to the Truck race, just bought a couple of souveneirs.
*Sunday: ate breakfast at the hotel (it was awful!), toured some hotel/casinos, bought a few souveneirs, then ate dinner and saw Penn and Teller at the Rio. They were hillarious! And, we got their autographs after the show!
*Monday: this was the day we went in as many hotel/casinos as we could, including New York New York, Luxor, Excalibur, Mandalay Bay, and Tropicana. Dropped Mom off at the Tropicana for a show that night, and I went next door to Hooters to watch the football game.
*Tuesday: went to Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum. They have wax figures of A LOT of famous people. I took Mom's picture with Princess Diana. That was the wax figure she most wanted to see. I got my pic taken with Jeff Gordon (among others). Went to Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill for lunch. Went to the Aladdin that night and saw V! The Ultimate Variety Show. Pretty good show.
*Wednesday: had breakfast with Joann (the woman from Cleveland I mentioned in the previous blog) and her boyfriend. It was great seeing her again! Went to the Liberace museum (Mom's idea, not mine) and the Elvis museum. Went back to the hotel and started packing. After dinner at Caesar's Palace (the steak at Nero's was great!), I walked to the Mirage and got in a Texas Hold'em tournament. I finished 4th out of 10, which isn't bad except that they only paid the top 2.
So, we had a great trip. But, it's also good to be home!

That sounds great, Billy! I too went to Madame Troussaud's; I was pleasantly suprised at how much I enjoyed it! It was before Jeff was there though. bummer. Glad you had fun! Brandon LOVES Vegas. We've been there 3 times and he's ready to go back!
Glad you had a good time, B. Next time, give me some notice and I'll tag along. :)
