TypeO Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Well, Monday the 17th is our 18th Anniversary, so me and Mrs. O are just getting some last-minute stuff ready as we prepare to leave early in the morning for Vegas, bay-beee! We went there on our honeymoon back in '95, and we're even staying at the same Hotel/Casino - The Excalibur. Leave tomorrow morning and return Wednesday - 3 nights in Vegas, I can't wait! Actually, we chose there simply because it's so cheap. 3 nights is right at $150 - you can't get a room here in town that cheap. They make SO MUCH off the gambling, everything else is beyond reasonable - food, alcohol, entertainment. So yeah, really looking forward to unplugging for a few days and having some fun. I'll try to post some photos in between, if possible. It's not like we go so hard we won't chill out for a while every so often. 2 words - Hangover Part 4, LOL Quote
redrum Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 I lived there in '71-'72. Just couldn't hack it. Stay cool. :^) Quote

Walter Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Have a great time Mr. and Mrs. TypeO! Congrats on your anniversary too! Quote
paul carruthers Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 Have fun in Vegas & Happy Anniversary! Quote
Sagittarius Rising Posted June 16, 2013 Posted June 16, 2013 You gonna eat mutton, drink ale, and watch the jousting while at Excalibur??? Or just going to gamble your ass off? Either way, may I suggest eating one breakfast at the Paris, not sure what restaurant but it is the expensive one in the hotel, not the Eiffel Tower. Order the french toast, you will not be disappointed. Congratulation you two, have one hell of a blast!!! Quote
TypeO Posted June 16, 2013 Author Posted June 16, 2013 You gonna eat mutton, drink ale, and watch the jousting while at Excalibur??? Or just going to gamble your ass off? Yes. LOL Either way, may I suggest eating one breakfast at the Paris, not sure what restaurant but it is the expensive one in the hotel, not the Eiffel Tower. Order the french toast, you will not be disappointed. I am a big fan of french Toast, as well as breakfast in general. I'll see if I can give it a shot. Congratulation you two, have one hell of a blast!!! Right on, you two have fun! Have a great time Mr. and Mrs. TypeO! Congrats on your anniversary too! Have fun in Vegas & Happy Anniversary! Thanks and will-do! LOL Quote
TypeO Posted June 18, 2013 Author Posted June 18, 2013 Greetings from Sin City! It's HOT, but it's a DRY heat (but then, so is an oven, LOL). Blown about $120 in the casino with nothing to show for it - oh well. Overall, we're having a blast. Me and Mrs. O on the plane. The Excalibur where we're staying. 44 oz. 190 Octane frozen drink. We saw the Hitzville Motown Revue Show. Quote
Charles J. White Posted June 18, 2013 Posted June 18, 2013 I find Vegas sort of depressing. Took me wife there 12 years ago, and she really didn't like it very much. Quote
TypeO Posted June 20, 2013 Author Posted June 20, 2013 Whew. What a week. Our flight was around 6:30 a.m., which means we had to catch the airport shuttle at 4:00 a.m.. Which meant we had to get up at 3:00 a.m. Which meant I never got to bed because I was still in the casino playing Texas Hold 'Em and drinking free double Crown and Cokes, LOL. My wife called around 2:40 a.m. and asked if I knew what time it was. I honestly thought it was about 1:00 a.m. So I just went to the room and took a shower and packed. Awesome time, had a blast. A few more pics and I'll detail a couple things tomorrow sometime. Got a $100 credit at the Pampas Brazilian Grille - unbelievable. Best. Photo Op. EVER! LOL Sleep is totally overrated, LOL. Time to get some sleep for realz. Quote
Walter Posted June 20, 2013 Posted June 20, 2013 Loved the photos! Glad you two had a great time! Quote
luvlz2 Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Cool TypeO, looks like you guys had fun, glad you guys had a great time! Quote
Sagittarius Rising Posted June 21, 2013 Posted June 21, 2013 Good for you TypeO, glad you had a blast...Um, so, um...did you go to the Spearmint Rhino to check out their "review???" Quote
TypeO Posted June 21, 2013 Author Posted June 21, 2013 Loved the photos! Glad you two had a great time! Cool TypeO, looks like you guys had fun, glad you guys had a great time! Good for you TypeO, glad you had a blast. Thanks, we definitely did. Um, so, um...did you go to the Spearmint Rhino to check out their "review???" Uh, that would be a negatory.Mrs. O wouldn't be down for such shenanigans. I did get pitched by 3 hookers in the casino, however. The old "How you doing? Who are you here with?" line. Definitely fun to look at, though. Quote
SuperDave Posted June 23, 2013 Posted June 23, 2013 Type-O, even though you had an early return flight and catch the shuttle. at least it's close by. Just a bit down the street on Tropicana Blvd, near the MGM Grand. Could be worse! Quote
