Vegas

As the cliche goes: Whatever happens in Vegas, don't stay in Vegas. I'm trying ot catch up on recent events but it's hard to find time to write...

So the Vegan trip was fun, the drive up there wasn't too bad. The desert seems like a really great place to fight someone to the death barehanded. Unfortunately, I didn't have the opportunity. The hotel we stayed at (Imperial Palace) was total shit and we even heard that it's slated for demolition. Good riddance. Our rooms were on the first floor and we had to go up to the second and back down in order to reach them. So dumb.

The blackjack at the Imperial Palace was actually fun and friendly, none of that serious gambler vibe you would get at Bellagio or something. The dealer helped us get used to playing and etiquette. In the course of the weekend I won about 160 bones, which isn't bad when you go expecting to lose everything you play.

We ate a dinner at the Mirage buffet on someone's reccomendation. It sucked. I don't know if there actually is a good buffet in Vegas like everyone thinks, but I certainly haven't seen it yet. However, when it comes to food, I am a trooper. I ate and stuffed myself good even at this place. The others seemed to not eat just because it was bad. Sissies! You wouldn't last 5 minutes at Steeles & Dufferin!

We scored free passes to a club called Jet, which we went to on the Saturday night. It was pretty cool. Like any club called Jet, Fuel, Heat, Storm, Ice, Level, or Ultra, it was on the pretentious side. My suggestions for club names: Blue Panda (lifted from: Siperco, Ian, 2002, "night of drunken rambling"), Filo, Neckn, Snood, Slefphone.

That's all I have to say about Vegas. I enjoyed the blackjack. Especially the winning money part.

I'm putting together a new computer and Tal is coming to visit at the end of the month. It's all happening!
