Las Vegas was fun. I think most people would have been bored with me, I did many touristy things. Tammy and I drove from PHX after work (6am-10am) and got to Caesar's, where my sis works, around 5. We grabbed Lindsay's key and went back to her place to shower and change. I rarely wear makeup, but everone in Vegas is dressed to the 9s, so I sucked it up. We went to Fat Tuesdays and waited for Lindz to get off work. I had one drink. Which is all I needed as I am a lightweight. We went to the Cheesecake Factory after and sat there for a while. Then spent almost 2 hours trying to get out of the Caesar's parking garage at midnight. I was pooped. The next day we walked around and saw a few of the big casinos. I fed $20 into a slot machine and $20 into video poker. Why? I'm not sure. But that was the fastest $40 I've spent in my life. I had much better luck at blackjack. Broke even and got to play for about 30 minutes or so (as opposed to the 14 seconds of slots). Laid out at the pool the next morning, drove home. Beautiful drive, by the way.

Two things I've decided: 1) I will be staying on the strip next visit. Parking and walking was absolutely no fun. Plus it would be neat to go to those huge pools. 2) I will see Cirque Du Soleil. There is absolutely no reason not to. I've wanted to see it for years, but have always been too cheap. And it's not like tickets are a million dollars. They're $100. Which will not make or break me. I can swing a bill. Hey, that's what credit cards are for, right? Plus I've been working a ton of over time and will continue to do that for the next few weeks. So even though I'm saving for my big move, I will still have some spending cash for fun stuff. I'm excited about seeing amazing theater!

In other news, Ohio University, where I spent two quarters and from where Lindsay graduated, is #5 on the list of top 10 party schools. Man, I have some great memories from there.
