Viva Las Vegas!

I just got back from my first trip to Las Vegas with Sarah, and it was awesome. We were there with our friends Doug and Heidi for their stag and stagette weekend. We stayed in the Flamingo hotel, just across the Strip from Caesars Palace. First thing, its the desert so it is hot, like sitting in your car with the heat all the way up, but not sticky hot, so I quite enjoyed some hot weather finally.

We visited the Coca-Cola store, and did a tray off flavours from the world, a range of Coca-Cola drinks from all over the globe. Some were awesome, some were nasty, and drinking 16 small cups of pop was tough. We also visited the M&M store, and the smell of chocolate almost took me away.

Sarah and I decided not to spend the $400 to rent a Dodge Viper SRT10.

The second night, the guys all went out together and the girls did their own thing. Us guys headed to Casino Royale, which as far from the James Bond equivalent as you can imagine. Fortunately this meant it was cheap and pretty friendly, which was good as I have no idea what I was doing in there. Doug was a big fan of the Blackjack table so we all joined him at our own table. I even managed to make $30!

Sarah and I went to see the Cirque du'Soleil show The Beatles LOVE. I am not a huge Beatles fan by any stretch, but the show they put on was incredible. We really look forward to being able to go back and see some more of their productions.
