What happens in vegas…

Comments

Stays in Vegas.

Hence I can’t really comment much of what’s happened the past day - I guess calling it a blur would be the easiest way to explain it. Instead I’ll post numerous photos of Vegas.

This is the NY:NY, the hotel we’re staying in - we’re staying in one of those towers. The hotel is freaking huge - and has some kick ass bars. On of the pubs has duelling piano’s! There is one giant piano that has two keyboards on each side where two pianists hit it off between each other and you can place money on the table to have your request fore filled. Dan found the best way to be beat the pack by laying $10USD on the table straight up - though the pianists had difficulty with the ACDC requests.

With the fourth of July coming up soon there are American flags EVERYWHERE! Even the MGM (largest hotel in the world - 5500 rooms or so) changed their logo to a rolling USA flag.

It’s quite spectacular, I’m amazed how much Americans are patriotic and proud of their country. I guess fighting for your independence with blood changes things. With all these flags I would love to hang a small Australian flag off our car as we tour around - but we’d probably be beaten up by gangsters

There was one cool little toy I picked up today at a ‘GameStop’ which had heaps of cool toys you only read about in Australia (like portable Gamecube screens for $99!). I grabbed a Special Edition Gameboy SP NES!

It looks awesome, quite authentic looking NES - and also very handy for our latest car fad; Advance Wars 2. Now with two Gameboys and a link cable we can have battles in the car - so far I’ve lost every game so I think I’ll confiscate the gameboys until I stop sucking.
This may not happen for a while.
