I think I just don't like clubs. Its all about being fancy and sitting and posing. I would much rather be dancing. At the ghostbar at the palms they don't even have a dancefloor. Its basically a lounge with thumping dance music that you sit too. Except all the seats inside were reserved and we had to sit out in the cold.

Sarah got us on the list so entrance for her was free. @terry and I paid $15 each. If I was a straight guy looking for chicks that paid $15-20 to get it I would have been so pissed because no one was there. The whole point of free lafies night is that it is like shooting fish in a barrel, right? Thats why guys pay cover.Then it was $48 for three vodka red bulls.

If they had dancing I might have felt different. The service was way over the top. Some Guy guided me to the bathroom and then the bathroom helper did some tricks spinning towels to me in the air. I really don't like interacting with bathrrom.staff

In fact I hate that they exist. But when they make it into some sort of sporty catch game I hate it even more. To make it worse I had no change, just a $20 and $100. Despite his bucket being pre decorated with $5 bills there was no way I was upping to $20 and I felt weird asking for change so he got nothing. The craziest part they have a Plexiglases floorhole where you can look down 50+ floors. Sadly it was all scratched up.

Afterwrads we headed to the playboy club. It was swanky, the bunnies were hot bit it was totally empty. We were the only people. Instead of dropping another $100 on drinks we headed home.

At least I got to wear.my ridiculous new yellow pants. $15 at the Levis store on black Friday.

This was definately the most extravagant eating experience I have ever had. The food was over the top as well as the service. The meal was all you can eat oysters, caviar, champagne, lobster, crab, Lamb, fruits and desserts, charcuterie, filet, pork, chicken, sushi, etc. It was amazing.

I would rather go to Marcellas any day. It is super pretentious and I just got scammed in some shots scheme.

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 @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.

And here is the skyrocket on LTE.

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.

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 @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.

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

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.
