The Vegas
Lisa and I just got back from our first trip out to Vegas and had an awesome time. Here are some highlights and some photos:
-stayed at the Luxor, aside from being chased down by timeshare representatives the whole weekend a great place to stay

-got to see filming of an episode of Mindfreak with Wilmer Valderama (Fez from That 70's Show) as Criss Angel's guest. Also got a ton of cool pics, got to meet Criss and Wilmer and was in the front of the crowd when the camera filmed us all screaming "Mindfreak" for the end of the show, hopefully the shot with me in it makes the cut for the final show! Look for the bald guy with the grey Adidas shirt looking like an idiot!

-Carrot Top's show at Luxor - Freakin' Hysterical! You gotta' see this guy.

-Penn and Teller at the Rio, a good show, but Carrot Top killed it for anyone I see after him.

-gambling at Luxor, Mandalay Bay and Rio - we came out ahead thanks to Lisa and I did really well at my first Blackjack experience. Good times!

-Shark Reef aquarium at Mandalay Bay - awesome!

-Seeing Criss Angel and Carrot Top just "strolling" around Luxor and Mandalay Place - wow, I guess they are just real people. LOL!

-Working out at Luxor gym

-The two rock climbers who were trecking through the dessert for 3 months on a climbing expedition we shared the cab to Rio with. Cool guys, climbed boat rock and rock town in Atlanta. They were going for the buffet man! LOL!

-The water fountain show at the Bellagio - very cool and very patriotic.

-The idiots slapping the call girl cards at us as we walked the strip.

-Sushi at Tao (Thanks Sveta!)

-Texting Sveta all week to tell her about all the Criss Angel sightings only to find out she thought I was joking around with her when I got back! Good thing I got all the pics!!!

-Meeting up with my cousin Michelle and her husband for dinner, hadn't seen her since we were kids, this was very cool.

-The burger at the burger bar - awesome food!

-Criss Angel's choppers and rides - freakin' sick!

-Erik coming down to Akron/Canton on our layover to help us kill sometime.

-The steak, shrimp and ribs trio lunch at Rainforest Cafe at MGM - freakin' awesome!

-All in all a great vacation! Can't wait to go back!
