I’m back.

I should be telling you about my trip to Las Vegas. How our flight there got delayed and we spent Cinco de Mayo in the Minneapolis airport.

I should mention how homeless people kept wanting to talk to Dave.

I should say that the Beatles Love show was awesome and the Louis Vuitton store in front of the Aria casino is so big that Neil thought that Louis Vuitton got into the gambling business and opened up their own casino.

I should mention that I haven’t eaten any fast food in like 8 months, but ate it almost everyday in Vegas. Thank God they don’t have Del Taco and In and Out Burger in Florida.

I should say that seeing Hot Water Music (finally) will probably be the highlight of my year. Oh, and the Sunset Station was pretty awesome for allowing a bunch of punk kids to take over a weekend. And also, thanks Frank for introducing me to scotch.

I should also say that Sara got so drunk off ass juice at Double Down Saloon that she tried to steal a statue in our hotel’s lobby. That the same night I was so drunk that I left my bank card at a bar in Luxor. Apparently a lot of people do that because when I went to security the next day, the lady had to dig through like 50 lost cards to find mine.

I should say something about how we got attacked by ladybugs at Lake Mead and decided spending the day at our rooftop hotel pool was a much better option.

I should say that we ate at way too many buffets.

I should mention that Andrew Dice Clay had security escort a guy out of his show 5 minutes into it.

I should say Freemont Street is fun and the drinks are cheap.

I should say all of this, but I’m going to sleep instead. Something I didn’t really get much of this week.

I’m back from Las Vegas. The trip was fantastic. I’ll post a recap once things around here get settled…

Our vacation is FINALLY here! We are extremely excited to go to Vegas. The trip will be a much needed break for both of us. I’ve been spending a lot of the day packing and doing all of those last minute things you need to do before you go on vacation.

We’ve done a good amount of research and I feel like we are well prepared for this trip. Since we booked it a few months ago, I have been saving up my swagbucks and mypoints for various gift cards to restaurants in Vegas. I managed to get 4 gift cards! Most of the restaurants seem like places we wouldn’t go to normally, so it will be nice to try these places out without spending a fortune. My parents also gave me a few coupon books, so we’ll be able to save some money there. As far as gambling goes, both of us aren’t really into it, but my boss was telling me some blackjack rules yesterday and I might try it out. Of course, I will be sticking to a budget and don’t plan on going over. But hey, who knows, maybe I’ll hit big! HAHA. I had a special “vacation” fund that I was adding money to and don’t plan on spending more than what I had saved. I’d rather spend that money on shows and seeing different things, so gambling money isn’t a big part of the budget.

I more than likely won’t be updating the blog all week, but since I’m a twitter addict I’m sure I’ll be sending updates. I’ll be taking tons of pictures and will definitely have a super long trip recap post when I get back. Until then, see you next week blog!
