things i did in vegas, which did not include getting married

In no particular order:

1. rode on the X-Scream thrill ride. LOVED it! The man was less happy about the whole thing, but I giggled the whole time. I would have loved to go on the ride a few more times.


2. laid out by the pool in the beautiful 80-degree weather...note: not all half-naked people should be half-naked. Contrary to popular belief, there are not that many attractive people in Las Vegas.


3. watched CSI (Las Vegas) in Las Vegas. note: I am a dork.


4. saw numerous hookers...er...escorts.


5. went to Hart and Huntington's tattoo shop at the Palms. Bought a souvenir t-shirt. Did not see Cary Hart (unfortunately).


6. gambled. Lost money. Gambled again. Lost more money.


7. ate some crappy food. note: stay away from Toby Keith's restaurant. Food was awful.


8. ate some good food.


9. shook Elvis' hand. note: I know it wasn't really Elvis.


10. went to the Jimmy Buffett street party and concert. Drank about 7 loaded Landsharks. Wore a hat (made of balloons) shaped like a parrot. If you look closely, you will see that it is a boy parrot.
    
11. people-watched from our upgraded, 18th-floor room. There was a tv in the bathroom mirror, which was pretty cool.
    
12. walked. Window-shopped. Walked some more. Drank. Walked.


13. learned a lot more about the man's family. Now I better understand the good things and the not-so-good things about him.


14. nearly passed out from having walked so damned much.


15. called a few people, pretending to be on our "honeymoon." Laughed a lot.


16. rode in a taxi that almost got into an accident. Learned some profanity in a language I didn't recognize.


17. watched the Bellagio water show. Pretended that I was in Ocean's 11 or 13 - I didn't like 12.


18. saw Pete Rose. In Vegas. Will that man never learn?


19. wore my beautiful new shoes. (I will post a picture next week.)
    
20. realized that the man and I can go on vacation and not get sick of one another. Bonus.
