Sterling Buffet
Category: food
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.

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

Yeah, what is a shots scheme - like someone schemed to kill you with shots and succeeded and you became... a zombie in yellow trousers?
flacidness - 11/27/11 23:12
Is that a club?
heidi - 11/27/11 21:28

At&t LTE
Category: mobile
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.

Test Date: Nov 25, 2011 5:52:13 pm
Connection Type: Hspa
Server: Las Vegas, NV
Download: 0.08 Mbps
Upload: 0.10 Mbps

And here is the skyrocket on LTE.

Do you mean to say that even with a rotten connection speed some connection tyoe called "LTE" does better than some current connection type called "HSPDA"??
tinypliny - 12/01/11 18:46
What is an LTE? What is an HSPDA? What is this post about? This mere mortal would like to know? Is this how greek sounds like?

Insert Coins
Category: vegas
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.

That doesn't even look like slippers. I thought they were rabbit ears? No?
vincent - 11/30/11 23:56
East Fremont is an interesting place as well as the magic canopy "the experience." I like terry hugging the old silver slipper.
paul - 11/28/11 18:06
Actually the dance floor got packed. That was just early.
flacidness - 11/27/11 23:13
That looks fun. But empty were you guys the only ones there?

Lovely pictures!
metalpeter - 11/25/11 18:05
Lots of great pictures..... The Panoramas are really cool..... That being said I bet on a site or printed out they would look amazing... since the pictures on (e:strip) only go so wide you can't see all the details.....
heidi - 11/25/11 11:29
Yeah, i like the panorama of your feet on the cliff. That place is gorgeous!
tinypliny - 11/25/11 10:14

paul - 11/25/11 00:39
My favorite was the parorama from sky to feet to other sky instead of from side to side.
YesThatCasey - 11/25/11 00:30
