Luxor is still my favorite place to stay.
Paris is still my favorite place to drink and to eat
…and to potty.
---
Mandalay Bay has become my second favorite place to drink and to eat…
…but I did not check out the potties there.
---
Caesars is my favorite place to drink…
…at 2:00 in the morning.
---
It was very distressing to me to see so many families with young kids there.
It was even more distressing to see those families dragging those young kids up and down the Strip and through the casinos at 11:30 at night.
---
I perceive that I spent more money on cab fares than I did on three nights of lodging.
However, cab drivers can be very creative in going from point A to point B.
---
I don’t have a favorite Sports Book, I think all of the major ones are good.
However, it was not that good of a feeling to bet on several favorites in baseball games and see them lose.
But it was a good feeling to have some of the more significant underdogs win.
---
It was an amazing thing to be able to watch multiple sporting events all at the same time.
But what was even better was to watch the end of the Pirates/Marlins game and see the Pirates hold on for a 4-3 victory…
…when they were the underdogs going off at +155
…and you had money on them.
---
Why people play slot machines is still one of life’s more puzzling things.
So puzzling that I can’t think of a witty reply.
---
It was amazing to see the popularity of poker tables when a couple of years ago, most of the tables were empty during the day.
But in watching them for a while, I would suggest that one should not be so eager to bet especially when it was not your turn yet.
---
Having my brother and I hit 180 golf balls at the Callaway Golf Center was cool.
Hitting 180 golf balls at 2:00 in the afternoon was something other than cool.
---
The sound and feel of a Great Big Bertha II Driver hitting a golf ball was one of life’s more unique experiences…
…except when one swings and misses, then it became one life’s more embarrassing moments.
---
The girls of Crazy Girls are the most perfectly sculpted females in the world…
…especially when you can view them 18 inches from the stage.
---
The Blue Man Group has got to be the coolest performance on stage…
…ever
…in the history of mankind.
---
One of the good things about drinking and hanging out at Cleopatra’s Barge at Caesars late one night or early one morning, I’m a bit fuzzy on the details, was that it was all adults and no kids…
…or actually, some adults were acting like kids, but still.
---
Another good thing while at the Barge was finally understanding how some UNLV girls pay for their tuition.
However, it was very hard to avoid making eye contact with this one very cute UNLV girl when I was quite liquored up so it was in my best interest and a good thing to sit elsewhere.
---
Elsewhere ended up near the dance floor where half of the writhing bodies were a bachelorette party.
I wish I could get invited to bachelorette parties.
---
The best lounge bands are usually found in the best lounges of the best resorts.
Such a band was Paragon at the Bellagio, a symphonic rock cover band with real studio musicians, an accompanying electronic string quartet and a hot female lead with a body like Stevie Nicks, a voice like Ann Wilson and moves like Alanis Morissette.
And when she and the band ended with Sweet Child O’ Mine and then Stairway to Heaven, that was fun.
However what was not fun was watching the typical Bellagio crowd just sitting there and acting like they were watching a poetry reading.

Ra is an Egyptian sun god and according to the story, he parties hard after working all day.
Where he goes is, get this, RA – a large dance club at Luxor with many hundreds of dancing bodies doing things way beyond writhing.
The Crazy Girls just writhe. The girls at RA just go crazy.
---
At 3:00 in the morning, I came up with three tips in partying at RA:
Getting in while decidedly non-sober means you don’t talk and you don’t make eye contact.
You have to be prepared for a security search more intense than anything you would go through at any airport in the world, bar none.
It is impossible to make your way across the dance floor with a mixed drink in hand without spilling some, so don’t try.
