The meadow

Something we learned from the rides on the monorail is that "Las Vegas" means "the meadow" in Spanish!! Boy did they get that wrong!!

The only fun thing we did was ride the roller coaster at the NY NY hotel. Something that I will never do again, but I am glad that I can say that I did it!! I need to upload the photos to show you what this ride looks like!!

We were there for the pizza convention and seminars that lasted most of the day. (9-6) We went to dinner afterwards and then to bed by midnight!! exciting huh? That was Wednesday. Tuesday our flight got in about 2'ish and we unpacked our clothes and then went to lunch. We went to the Rainforest Cafe.( I hear there is one in Seattle so we will have to take the kids there when we go in June.) I thought we were JUST going to eat lunch so I wore heels!! Nope, big mistake. We walked around A LOT!! I had blisters on my toes. It was not so much from all the walking, but the pace that Lee, Seth's boss, was walking. I swear he walks like his ass is on fire!! So we went back up to our room before dinner and I changed into some capri's and better shoes. (flip flops) We went to this very expensive Italian restaurant called Trevi's. Our table was not ready yet so we waited at the bar. I decided to try a Mint Mojito. I figured I like the gum, I might like the drink. So we are chatting and then about a few minutes later our drinks come. He hands me mine first and I go to reach for it and then suddenly, (slow motion), it comes flying at me. There was no where for me to go to avoid this, so I was soaked completely from the crotch down to my shoes!! Seth mentioned that I should go to the restroom. This might have been a good idea if there should be a blow dryer in there, but the thought of walking through the restaurant looking as though I had urinated on myself was not appealing. So I opted to stay at my seat and "air" dry. I did not want to draw any more attention to myself than I already did. The manager offered to pay for the dry cleaning, but I was not staying in Vegas that long and it was really no problem at all, just a bit uncomfortable and embarrassing.

***HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!! ***

So he bought our drinks and gave us some appetizers. I realize that I could have gotten more out of that, but I was with someone who throws money around like it was nothing and so I was following his lead in how to handle this. If he felt that we should complain then that was up to him, after all he was paying for all of it.

Thursday we woke up early and got some pictures of the sights around there and did a little shopping. Then met up with Lee again for some lunch and to get to the airport.

BTW, don't ever let me order an apple martini. WOW!! That thing got me drunk in about 10 minutes and only half the glass!! I started going on a spending spree in a Star Trek gift shop. Yeah!! (I bought a Trebble, Seth got mad that I called it a furry thing. I was drunk and forgot the name.)

Anyway that is my trip in a nutshell.
