    Back yesterday. Had an awesome time in both NYC and Vegas.

    NYC: Did the whole tourist thing. Visited the top of the Empire State Building, (found a novel way to beat the queues too), went on an open top bus tour, bike riding around Central Park and visited the 911 memorial museum and went to a Mets game, (plus much more). I would go back tomorrow at the drop of a hat.

    Vegas: Not so much sightseeing as the guys I went with weren't interested, plus we had a lot of very late nights. Played golf which was awesome in that heat, visited nearly every casino, learned craps, watched lots of Soccer games, visited the old Vegas, did LOTS of shopping at the outlet stores, and got very very lucky on the tables. In fact I almost came back with what I went with despite being on the tables every night until 4am usually. Who needs strip joints when half the Women in Vegas walk around with almost nothing on?

    The only downside to the whole trip was the airplane ride from NYC to Vegas using Virgin America. It was an appalling experience on an appalling airline which is a shame as Virgin Atlantic are so good. Also sad that the streets of Vegas are full of people pushing sex constantly.

    Awesome! Sounds like a great time! Yeah that's funny about Vegas. I was there last October for the Motley Crue residency at the Joint at the Hard Rock. We were walking around and every 5 feet there's someone on the street handing you pamphlets of porn. So I just kept collecting them and putting them in my back pocket. I was cracking myself up that I was walking around with porn pamphlets hanging out of my pocket. We were all drunk though so it was funny. Anyway,... Vegas is such a great time. I need to get to NY one of these days.

    I've been east west north and south and flown over Vegas but I never been to Vegas. Is it as good as I expect it is ?

    It has to be. I don't remember one minute of it.

    That highly depends on your expectations.
    I'd go there again tomorrow if I could.

    Yes. I don't gamble and there is a limit to how many expensive shows I would want to attend. Despite that I am sure I cod keep entertained. I was last there in 1977 so much has changed since I was last there. I'm sure I would have fun.

    People watching is amazing. Especially at dusk. I watched a guy try to use the shrubs in front of Caesars Palace as a pillow. And a really drunk guy in a faded Garfield costume try and walk down the sidewalk smashed. It was awesome.

    On my Vegas trip, didn't gamble a single dime. Personally, I just had fun having my senses being overloaded from everything going on all around me. People, stuff, more people, more stuff. Heck, I could probably spend the whole weekend just walking around the strip taking pictures of random stuff and drinking beer and looking at people. Last October on the weekend we went, we spend all day Sunday by the pool drinking buckets of Bud Light Limes. I didn't even go in the pool. Just hung out in a lounge chair staring off into space. Best time ever.

    Then of course we saw the Beatles which was awesome and the next night saw Motley Crue which was a blazing ball of fire. I never seen pyro like that in my life. I should post the footage I took.
