At&t LTE

The mobile 3g internet speed in Las Vegas is so bad. I think it must just vr too many people on an overtaxed network. Its so bad, its unbelievable. In Buffalo I gdt around 2-4mbps, i. vegas I am often getting a fraction of a tenth of 1mbps like 0.08mbps. I mean its down right unusable in so many places. By the Rio I can't barely even get one bar and calls don't come through to our hotel room half the time. I tried to call (e:terry) in the room when I was outside and he didn't get the call for 45 minutes, after I came back.

Then last night we went to the AT&T store and the new Samsung Skyrocket has LTE. I took a picture of the speedtest results on the skyrocket with LTE vs the HSPDA data below captured at the same time on my galaxy sii.

Insert Coins

We went to a bar called Insert Coins in downtown Vegas. It had a combination of coin driven old school arcade games and a drink service with high end current games at fancy booths. We danced up a storm despite it not being my usual music.

Freemont Street

We had a couple hours to kill this morning so we went to go see Terry's old high school next to freemont street. We had to get our parking validated so we went to a casino where I lost a bunch of times. I tried to make it up by betting $5 in one spin and lost that to so I quit. I figured I only spent as much as invalidated parking so its like I got to bet the parking money.

The necklaces and the wheel of fortune game reminded me of (e:Mike). I wish he was here.

I can't believe how close they blew off nuke bombs. The picture with the mushroom cloud in the background of ceremony St is nuts.

Drag Show

How funny is it that this advertisement for a drag show at a casino included a man dressed up as Michael Jackson.

Thanksgiving Dinner

Because I am allergic to animals and everyone has them, we went out to dinner at a smokehouse in the most upscale plaza I have ever seen. The food was delicious.

Afterwards, we headed to the attached Casino because everything else was closed. They had an Irish pub with Jamieson beer pong tables. Terry and his mom (with me as sub) beat Alex and Spencer by one beer. I wish I wasn't allergic so we could just hang out easier.

The best food options in the world

In Vegas you can get just about any kind of food you want whenever you want. Last night we went to the American Grill in the Rio because the buffet was closed. I expected to get a hamburger but I ended up with a Cobb salad. Not just any Cobb salad though. One topped with King crab, grilled lobster, and colossal shrimp. The hallways here are so crazy long.
