Las Vegas finale
Friday January 28
Okay. I'm going to do a shorter report for the remaining days. This day we spent exploring the different casinos. Ran into a random drunk guy at 10am who told us how he had not slept for 18 hours and hooked up with an Indian girl the night before. When he told her wanted to eat an In N Out burger, she got upset saying she was Hindu and believes cows are sacred. He told her that they were made to be eaten and she got mad and left lol. We caught the Mac King show in Harrah's at 3. Gambled in O'Shea's and enjoyed the 99 cents Frozen Baileys hmmmm. We spent most of the time playing Blackjack which we suck at. Back in our country, it is illegal for locals to gamble so we were newbies. We lost in total $100 today gambling. Small compared to a lot of folks.
Walked around the Cosmopolitan. One word: shiny. It looks nice but I wasn't blown away by it.
We bought alcohol from the liquor store nearest to the Mirage and went back to the room to get tipsy. After the alcohol wore off and we lost some in gambling, we caught a cab to Lotus of Siam. The strip mall which it is in looks shady and there was a random guy asking for a donation outside but they awesome food. He had the wings for appetizer and beef strips for entree while I had the bacon wrapped prawns for appetizer and drunken noodle soup with seafood as main course.

Ahhh...got on the VIP guest list for Jet Nightclub where they had DJ Clue's birthday bash. Don't remember much after an hour in the club but I know some pole dancing was involved, along with giving high fives to random people in the street and a 4am run to McDonald's.
Saturday January 29
Woke up with a semi-hangover.
Went to Burger Bar at Mandalay Bay. We were smart enough to catch the bus this time. Went at 12 noon, peak lunch time, long line, half an hour wait. We had the Hubert Keller burger, I had sweet potato fries and he had regular fries and we both had milkshakes. I enjoyed the food and was stuffed.
Went to Tao later that night. The club is very Vegas. Multiple levels, rooms, dancers everywhere, girls with pasties laying in tubs, giving each other massages. I never got the pretend lesbian fetish with some folks but oh well. The main dance floor was too packed but there was plenty space to walk around.
As we left, they gave all the girls Tao flip flops to relax your feet after wearing heels I am guessing. They were good quality and very comfortable.
More gambling in the casino. Started playing the table roulette and started winning finally! Won $100. Wished I had played this game from the beginning instead of blackjack oh well. It's 4am now and had to catch a 7am flight.
Vegas was awesome, I enjoyed staying at the Mirage with its central location. I gained 10 pounds on this trip but hey it's Vegas.
