Viva Las Vegas

Most cliche title ever. You love it.

Anyways, so it's been a while! Sorry! Things have been really busy and I have been kind of grouchy, so I have been keeping my mouth shut. A lot of stupid things have been going on lately, but we are not going to focus on that, we are going to talk about VEGAS! Because that is where I went this past weekend and it was fun!

Actually, it was a little frustrating, for a number of reasons, but overall, it was good. I had this whole thing written about Vegas and it's nonsense, but I re-read it and decided it was stupid. So, here are the highlights and what you need to know, top 10 style (but in no particular order):


1. Vegas is NUTS. It is an insane combination of glitz, glamor, trashiness, ridiculousness, awesomeness and pathetic...ness.

2. Vegas is HOT. I was in 107 degree heaven this weekend. You read correct, 107 degrees. Now I'm back in LA and the weather, surprise, is terrible. And we had an mini earthquake last night! It woke me up!

3. Let's talk gambling. I lost $30 and that was the end of that. The lucky headband failed me.

4. My favorite part about Vegas is that shit is open ALL day, every day. It's fantastic. The casinos never close, there is somewhere to get food at 4 in the morning and there are a bazillion people wandering around at all hours of the day.

5. The Stratosphere is not the greatest place to stay if you want to be close to stuff. But it's cool if you like being up high and like being cheap.

6. The amount of money and wealth you see in Vegas ASTOUNDS me. It surrounds you and blows your mind. But it's awesome because the average person on a tight budget can be a part of the wealth without having to spend a lot of money. You can wander around in any of the hotels and casinos, soaking up their air conditioning and admiring their opulence at no charge!

7. Parking is FREE! And all the restrooms are public! Take a hint, LA, you ass.

8. I did a little gambling at The Bellagio (yes, the one in the movies) and felt like a total badass while I lost $5 (I know, BIG spender, slow down!).

9. I went to The Venetian and it made me depressed. The gondolas are cheesy looking and I want to go back to real Venice.

10. I know I said my favorite part was the 24 stuff, but I lied. My for real favorite part was the fountain show at The Bellagio. I know, I am a total goober, but that kind of cheesy stuff makes me soo happy! Who knew fountains spewing water set to music could be so cool, but it was seriously amazing (see video) and I stood there and watched for like an hour on Sunday. I was in love. My favorite was the first one we saw, set to Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On." Classic. I wonder how much money it would take to get them to choreograph a "Heaven Is a Place on Earth" fountain dance for me.

Well that was Vegas, in top ten list. Hope you enjoyed. I'm going to bed.


Dream VEGAS style big, people (that is super big)!
