Default Vegas Vacation!!! (ton o pics)

Well the wife and I got back Monday night from 5 days in Vegas and it was awesome and we didnt even gamble much. First off 5 days is too much if you know what youre doing, 3 would be about perfect. We spent the first two days figuring out how to get alcoholic beverages without spending a small fortune and how to move throughout the city. I grew up in Houston and live in Austin so Im used to the big city scene but Vegas is a whole 'nother animal. A fun one though

These are just random pics of the strip, Ill try and narrate as best I can and from memory(a lot of the trip was in a daze )

Paris

Lazy *** lion on the glass at MGM

Freemont St original downtown Vegas contortionist street performer


One of the fancy hotels that had gold lined mirror cielings

We stayed at the Flamingo(cheap and center of the strip) and wouldnt you know theyve got flamingos

Cool 2 story indoor waterfall in the Venetian mall

Construction has been stopped for 3 years on this building

The only way to get alcohol off a shirt

My bday was on the 8th, my buddys 30th bday was on the 14th and my wife and I's anniversary was the 15th so we were celebrating a lot this trip besides the whole actually being in Vegas part

Later that night, I stick out a little in Vegas

Headless angel?

Some crazy *** shrine thing

Does the real Ceasar live here? We were quoting the hangover the entire time

The betting area in Ceasars Palace, where all the lines for all the games are

Freaky *** talking fountains

Cher's costumes

Have some nachos

View from the top of the Effiel Tower its an exact half scale replica




Getting ready for the Bellagio fountains which IMO were one of the coolest things there, its a MUST see. Ive got a video Im uploading that Ill post once its done.


We found that buying a 12 pack for 15 and walking around with it was much cheaper than buying 8 dollar beers, between two heavy drinking guys you can polish it off before it gets warm

Sweet *** hat

We saw Santana at the hard rock hotel and it was beyond badass

Dressed up for the night

No pool rafts on the shark reef




Luxor from inside

Looks like you and the missus had a great time Cody! You picked the right hotel to stay at when staying on the strip, it's the least expensive of them all. If you want cheaper still head downtown and stay at Binions. Happy birth-versary!

Eh Im a beer drinker, it was mainly for my wife but we did a round of shots off of it before heading out. Much better to catch a buzz before leaving the hotel and just maintaining rather than catch it after leaving. I prefer what my buddy had in his hand. We polished that off the next day and the ladies took care of the vodka. I usually dont drink that much but we were having a lot of fu in Vegas and celebrating a lot of stuff. Hell his GF's bday is in a couple days so we had a lot of January stuff to celebrate

I'm leaving for Vegas on the 24th of Feb. Staying in the Mirage again. Went for my 21st, and now, 3 years later, going back for my brother's 21st, my mom and dad's 25th aniversary, and they're renewing their vows.

We're all guarenteed at least 1 guys night for my brother's birthday... it's going to be out of control.

Hope we have as much fun as you did
