Viva Las Vegas!

It's kinda hard to get excited right now because I feel like I'm going to die. But it was all worth it. Vegas was a blast! Check me out in this picture. That's right, baby. All hundies! I like to call this picture "I'm rich, bitch!" I hit a $2000 jackpot on a $5 slot machine at the Excalibur. No, that's not the machine in the picture. We ended up giving a lot of it back before the weekend was over but this was still our most profitable Vegas trip ever.
We also discovered two awesome restaurants. Both were a bit on the expensive side but it was worth it. Taru Sushi (inside Benihana) at the Hilton kicks ass. My new favorite Italian restaurant is Battista's Hole in the Wall behind the Flamingo. All entrees include a great salad, all you can eat garlic bread, bottomless carafes of red and white wine, and cappuccino afterwards.
Here is a picture of some goombah eating manicotti. Just look at him. He loves it. I think we all left there on the verge of bursting.
Traffic on the way home sucked. We killed a few hours at state line waiting for it to get better. It was a lot better by the time we left but there was still some bumper to bumper. We got home at about 2:30am so I'm operating on about 3 hours sleep right now. Death would be sweet release at this point.
I'm kinda sad that we most likely won't get to do another group trip before we move. But our door will always be open for anybody to come visit. Any time you are in Vegas, we will be ready to party at the casinos or at our place.
Anyway, good food, good drink, good gambling, good friends. Who could ask for more? Well, maybe a mechanical bull. Or a monkey.
