Hi All
So today we slept in. Then Don wanted to go to the topless pool. The guy is starting to recognize us and so gave Don a VIP card for up there that gets him in for free instead of paying the $10. The good thing about the topless pool is that the waters and pop are free. Anyway, today was a rare day as there weren't that many pervert dudes there today that just go there by themselves and sit around pretending to read but just watching the topless chicks. There was one dude sitting at the table at the front, but other than that, it was almost devoid of pervert dudes. Totally a first 😊 Then the other anomaly today was that women like me with their tops on was a minority. Usually there are quite a few. But today the pool was packed and only me and like one other girl with their top still on. Don thought that meant I should conform. Ya right - because I march to everyone else's beat. And the third anamoly today was that there were actually some attractive women there today instead of just the greased pigs. Crazy day.
But as I told Don there is still an inequality because even though there were some good looking women there today, there are almost NEVER any attractive men there. Then it was funny as this new girl came and she was sort of overweight and Don likes to think he can peg people as to whether they will go topless or not and he gave me 2-1 odds that this chick would. I was thinking no. She didn't. Yipee for me.
But there was still weirdness at the pool today - aside from the topless people. This dude with curly mullet hair came to the pool and even though there were a tonne of chairs there he picked the one right next to these 40 year old chicks that were topless and all had nice boobs thanks to boob jobs. Well then he proceeded to talk to them and when they turned their chairs towards the sun, he would turn his too. He was total creepy dude and not just because he was chatting them up -- which I find totally creepy - but also because he left at one point and then came back and I could hear
him say something about going to his apartment and coming back. (this pool you can go to even if you aren't a guest as you have to pay anyway). Soooo the double creepy side is that the ONLY apartments near here that are wakling distance are like east hastings type places/crack houses/druggies, etc. that the police are always at and the taxi drivers won't even go near. So that means the guy lives in one of these or the totally run down / crack house motels..... Then the other weird side is there is this weird girl that is at the pool some days and she also appears to live close by with nothing better to do than come to the pool and she didn't go topless, then fidgets with her computer and then changes clothes out in the open and always sort of fidgeting and then today she ended up talking to creepy dude on the way out and getting money from him. I couldn't hear what she said but Don said later that he thinks she is a local area drug dealer and he lives near there too so she likely was collecting from him for debts /
drugs he bought..... All this is speculation but still weird and definitely locals and weird stuff going on since before that they didn't appear to know each other....
Sorry Leah - no ball sack dude today 😊
Then we left the pool and got ready. Don had such a craving for japanese food but we had gone to look at the menu for the japanese restaurants in the hotels and strip called Hamada -- they charge like $20 for chicken teriyaki, like $15 for tempura and so on. Ridiculous. So I found this place on line at Orleans called Koji that had california roll for $8 which is getting better and chicken teriyaki for $12.95 and the revies said it was good. The price is still totally ridiculous since back home my chicken teriyaki is almost never more than like $9.95 and usuallly like $7.95.... So Don ordered spicy tuna roll, then we had shrimp tempura, then I had my chicken teriyaki and then added this "table combo" for $4.95 so I could get Don wonton soup, egg roll and fried rice. So my chicken teriyaki comes and it comes with NOTHING -- no vegetables. Usually they would
throw a broccoli spear on there or some bean sprouts. Then the chicken teriyaki was like breaded chicken with teriyaki sauce laid on it. As Don said -- we are totally spoiled back home with all the super cheap chinese restaurants and japanese restaurants and the food is also kickass. My chicken teriyaki was soo gross and then the fried rice comes and it's like brown colour and so on. Then the bill comes and it's $50!! Yep, you heard me.
Then we went upstairs and we got a club card. Then went to the movies and with your club card that night you got free popcorn 😊 Yippe. So we both got our free popcorn and went to watch "My Best Friend's Girl" with Kate Hudson, Ben Stilller and Dane Cook. It was soo funny. There is this one part in the movie at Kate Hudson's sister's wedding and Don was laughing sooo hard. Of course it's a romantic comedy so totally predictable, but had some really funny parts. Movies were < $10 here -- cheap!
Then with our movie ticket stub we were supposed to get a free game of bowling each. But then we went
upstairs and realized it was going to be $4/each to buy socks (we both had flipflops on and it would be disgusting to put bowling shoes on with bare feet) but yet the game of bowling is only $3.95 (again super cheap -- bowling back home is like $8+...). So buying socks would cost more than our freebie. But still -- don't you just love all the freebie stuff in vegas? Everything usually comes with something 😊
Then we went back to the strip, walked the strip, watched part of the karaoke at Imperial Palace, some bad karaoke at O'Sheas. Then we went to eat a snack as Don was totally sick of Lucky's. So we both had Subway. I love this Subway -- I had the kids meal subway -- I don't think we have that back home or not the same. It came with part of a 6" sub -- but was the middle part of the sandwich - so no end for me to throw away, then I had it with a little bag of apple slices and some milk and got a toy ha ah ah. But it was the perfect size snack for me.
Don had some 12" double meat italian bmt thing. He eats enough for both of us 😊
I took a picture of the "Beer Pong". This goes on every night at O'Sheas and I find it sooo disgusting. Teams compete and throw a ping pong ball trying to get them in their opponents beer glasses. If they get it in, then that opposing team has to drink that beer. So what's the disgusting part? The ball bounces all over the table and the floor and the dirty carpet area and all over the place and everyone touches it, etc. and sure they "wash" it in a cup of water but it's the same water cup all the time and so it's like when you paint with paint brushes and then put them in the cup of water -- it gets all dirty and mirky. So the ball is all dirty and picking up germs and then bouncing into your drink that you have to drink. Do people think the alcohol in the beer counteracts the dirt? I am not sure -- maybe they do. Ick
off to bed....
