Las Vegas Errata
Nov 30th, 2005 by Alex
I went to Las Vegas a few weeks ago with a group of good friends. We stayed at the Flamingo* (which is actually a lil’ division of Caesars), although some of us (well, one of us) kept pronouncing it fla-menc-o. That aside, here are a few choice quotations and notes from the long weekend in Sin City.
“I’m holding my liquor liker champ.” — Jim
“The DEUCE!” — Everyone
Seeing Chris sip from his comp Coca-Cola after losing $40…
Alex: “Are you enjoying your $40 Coke?”
Chris: “Absolutely. It’s a good Coke!”“Whoever designed this city deserved a medallion and a kick in the nuts.” — Nora
“Would you kick my Dad in the nuts for $25?” — Nora, to Chris.
“I hate her from the bottom of her hooves to the top of her spear.” — Dave
“So combined, we’ve consumed 3 pounds of hot dog.” — Chris
“I’ve crapped my pants in 5 states.” — Dave
“The DEUUUUUUUUUUUUUCE.” — Everyone
Although not quotations, there was a lot of talk about the $1.49 shrimp cocktail at Slots-A-Fun, which was also the home of the $1 craps table (that we all held so closely to our hearts) and the $1.29 half-pound hot dog.
Chris and Jim also braved a $4.95 steak dinner, with mixed reviews. Nora attempted the $8.95 steak/lobster combo from the same establishment, with mixed reviews. I attempted to eat a bowl of French Onion soup from the same establishment with mixed reviews. I’d recommend not to eat there if I could remember the name of the place.
We spent an hour looking for a casino that doesn’t exist anyone, after being bought out and/or renamed. Turns out we had eaten dinner in the place — with all the mixed reviews — that we were looking for.
And where would we have been without several random people asking Chris if he had/wanted marijuana? It must have been the beard and the cargo pants. I wonder if Old Navy knows anything about these tendencies.
* I would normally link to the hotel, but you would immediately hear “crazy” George Wallace delivering a canned speech about the wonders of the place. Don’t get me wrong, it was a comfortable place to stay… but George’s delivery is seriously lacking.
