Hi All
As usual today we slept in then woke to a perfectly sunny and hot day with no clouds in the sky. We got ready, got our starbucks and went to the pool. It was actually busy at the pool today and I couldn't get a chair in my usual spot. But that's fine.
I spent part of the day in the hot tub with Don and we met this group of really nice Irish guys from Belfast. They are all studying to be doctors and then before they finish their schooling, all the banks are willing to give them all loans so they can do one last big trip / travel. So these guys have been travelling for 2 months to Australia, Fiji, elsewhere and now Vegas until the "money runs out" ha ha ha. they were soo nice and soo funny. One of their friends only had $50 the night before and they all went to the bar and that guy was able to bum drinks off people and get sooo tanked that he doesn't remember 5 hours of the night and had to be brought home in a wheelchair as he couldn't even stand up
or hold his head up or anything. it was surprising he remembered his name. He thinks the taxi driver took his watch as payment for the taxi. Their irish -- they can drink a lot.
then we left and got ready and went to Red Lobster for dinner. Yummy. As always we started with the stuffed mushrooms and the cheese buns and our salad. Don had all you can eat shrimp and I had the stuffed sole.
Then we had to rush out and get back to the hotel so I could host my chat session.
We got ready and went to the "X" show at Flamingo -- which is the show that tickets cost $60 / ticket and I won them last week at the comedy show. So we got to the hotel at around 9:15 pm -- just in time for seating to start. The tickets we had were for general admission so then the old guy seating people could see Don reaching for his wallet / money and knows how this goes (we had planned on greasing the guy for good seats). So he started talking about how this is open seating, etc. So
Don greased the guy $20 and we got seats at the table right in the middle and right at the front. It was sooo close that when the girls came down the stairs they were standing right next to me and practically hit my head with their arms when doing moves dancing on the ground at the bottom of the stage stairs. totally awesome seats. For greasing the guy -- that means we get VIP seating 😊 The show was good. Some of the topless shows in vegas (maybe it was only one we went to before?) was like a high priced stripper show. But this one and some of the other ones we've been too are actually quite good and with choreography, and good music and more artistic. This show was actually quite good. It was funny as we were talking to these two women in line and I thought they were sisters but Don said they were lesbians -- anyway -- they were reading the tickets and it says "Burlesque" and that it will be risque. So we told them it would be topless and they seemed surprised. Hmm. Guess they should put that on there. then in
the "intermission" this chick comedian came out -- she was funny and sort of made fun of the audience -- some asian dude brought his wife AND MOM to the show. So the comedian was making fun of him -- who brings his mom to a topless show? ha ah ah. maybe they also thought this was just going to be risque and not topless ha ha ha. Anyway, good show for getting free tickets. Again - yipee for me!
Then we wandered around on the strip. Got our $1 drinks, stopped at piano bar in Harrah's, stopped at center bar on strip, walked on strip, etc. We were passing "margaritaville" on the strip and they have an outside balcony where everyone stands all the time and watches people going by slightly below them on the strip. So Don had been taking all the hooker cards from the people that hand them out, then Don & I go over them an analyze them -- who's looks surrey, etc. So then these older guys were calling out to me and like "What have you got -- any good ones". So this one guy is like "Oh, i want a blonde" - so I gave him this card, then gave a few to some other guy then this one guy is like "I want a girl with sandy brown hair". So I am flipping through the cards, but didn't have one with sandy brown hair so I end up giving him the card of the brunette. Then Don's like "Ok, time to go, you're becoming part of the show". I totally didn't get it. Then I talked to Don and realized the guy was talking about me ha ha ha. Lots of funny drunks here in vegas.
Then back home for late night food at Lucky's - of course and then off to bed.
