What Doesn't Happen In Vegas Stays In Vegas



One post a month. That's what it's come to.


I've been back in town for a while, but I've finally gotten around to writing stuff down. Stuff I remember:
  • Cosmopolitan San Francisco. At least that's what our geriatric sightseeing tour bus driver said.
  • My first Cirque du Soleil show, Love, at the Mirage. And the after-party at Revolution Bar.
  • The Strip, notably: Caesar's Palace/Forum Shops, The Venetian, The Mirage, The Bellagio, Paris, Fashion Show Mall, and the Hawaiian Tropic-themed bar. I know now why Britney got married in this town. One can't help but be stupid here, it's great.
  • All the good food!
  • The bedsheets at Treasure Island.
  • James, our Pacquiao-rooting, closet Pinoy-loving Lincoln Town Car driver.
  • Dropping my camera on the Walk of Fame. And forced to buying a new one at the Walk of Regret.
  • The cement prints in front of the Kodak Theatre. Classic.
  • Walking to Zuni (and discovering back home that a restaurant called Zuni just opened at Greenbelt 5)
  • Having a Starbucks fix near Rodeo Drive. Because I needed to use the bathroom.
  • Stanford U! Go Cardinals!
  • Outlet stores in Sac-town
  • Wine-tasting at Sonoma. If you thought I was pretentious before...
  • Snow! And that two layers of clothing and a dress jacket is not enough. And that you can't step on it with Vans without sinking.
Pictures at the newly refurbished multiply site. So all-in-all a great two weeks. Better than the Utah stay, but then again that's not saying much.

After I got back it's not like I've been unpacking this whole time; a lot's gone on but that's a story for another, uh, month?
