Ah, Vegas!!

Sorry for the lack of posts last week but I was busy dancing in the land of sin!!

Vegas is such a interesting place. Where grace and glamor and trailer trash blend together so well. All in the same city block one can enjoy expensive spa treatments, lavishing meals, and walk the streets to find used condoms on bridges. How lovely!

I had one kickin' time. I spent days in the sun by the pool listening to bad "NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC" soundtracks. Which just reinforces the idea that everyone needs an Ipod. But there is nothing more relaxing in the world than watching bird flutter threw flowers and trees poolside. It's wonderful.

We saw awesome shows. Penn & Teller was amazing. It may be our new show that we see EVERY time that we are there. It was that good. And funny. And we got to meet them afterwards. When we got back I felt as though I just needed more Penn. And I just discovered that Penn does a video blog on YouTube that's called "Penn Says". Check it out.

We saw a really BAD show called "Lance Burton, Master Magician". Bad, really really reall bad. No bueno. He was like bad magic met an 80's hair band video. The music was all 80's rock intrumentals. There was ton of bad acting on Lance's part, and his girls could not would not dance in step with one another. And he did the same tirck over and over. Which was levitating stuff, and making stuff vanish. That was all. It got really old, and made me want to puch my friend Parwaiz in the face for getting me to see it.

Rick Sent me to the spa. Which was wonderful, and also gave me the chance to get in one 10k workout while I was there. The spa was great. Go to the spa. Even if you are a guy, don't care, go to the spa and pay someone to rub your face!!

Then, like we talked about before. There are the wonderful moments where the glamor and the trash of Vegas slowly combine to make this glamtrash smoothy. The last night we were there Rick took me to the romantic steak resturant that was connected to our casino (The Paris). We got sat out on the patio, and had the most polite waiter and french bus boy. With french food and music. However it was hard to enjoy with the motorcycle noise, prostitute billoards, and strippers in the background. Ah, Vegas! Its one of those moments that you laugh out loud and enjoy the town for what it is. A town filled with fun and dirty dirty people!

I had a great time but I am glad to be home. Food is a lot cheaper here.
