I approached my wife with a little trepidation. I don’t know why. I should have no worries asking her about the fun things I want to do. We understand that parts of our personality differ so we might each want to strike out on our own at times. This works out for me both ways. […]
I get this way with movies sometimes. “Fandango” did it to me in college. Most recently, “Old School” made me think they should just stop making films altogether. I am sure others made me feel that way in between, but something new has caught my attention. “The Hangover.” You would think that a movie so […]
On a day where we give thanks, I will give thanks to a very special part of America – Las Vegas. Thanks to the fine folks at Five Hundy by Midnight, I decided to take a gander at a new show on truTV (formerly Court TV) called “Rehab: Party at the Hard Rock Hotel.” I’ll […]
I have never found magicians entertaining. Some of them strike me as a little creepy, but the massive egos they bring to trying to fool us make me just roll my eyes at pretty much all of them. I could have gladly gone through life not even getting the opportunity to do that about Criss […]
On my three trips to Las Vegas, I have spent a fair amount of time in poker rooms.I have discovered I enjoy playing poker much more tan blackjack and roulette, which I played a bunch my first two trips. Part of the reason is that I feel I have more of a chance at winning […]
Things that really didn’t fit anywhere else: On my last night, I noticed a distinct change in the clientèle at Imperial Palace. After some research, I discovered that a roller derby convention started on Wednesday. Let’s just say that the hookers who troll the casinos wouldn’t have any competition from these “ladies.” Mullets and tattoos […]
On my previous two Vegas trips, I have made mistakes. I have had a little too much to drink early in the trip, which has set me back a little. One of the consequences of that action was that I didn’t really get to enjoy a lot of good Vegas food on those trips. I […]
When I travel alone, I generally need pretty simple accommodations. A regular hotel room meets all of my needs. That’s why I booked the most affordable place I could when I went to Las Vegas earlier this week. Maria and Bridget had other plans, so I took the chance for a solo trip to gamble, […]
Last time I went to Vegas, I didn’t see any shows. I wanted to make sure I at least saw something this time. As I planned my trip, I kept checking the comedy clubs to see if anyone I knew would be in town. A few days before I left, I hit the jackpot. Bobby […]
I discovered one important thing while in Las Vegas earlier this week. Poker is bad. I love playing the game, but runs like I had recently really make me question why I bother. I could hardly get any good cards and, when I did, someone else would turn over a hand that would edge me […]
