Off to Vegas
April 25, 2008 – 9:08 pm
We’re off to spend a week at the luxurious Palms Casino Resort in Las Vegas! Several reality TV shows were filmed there, and it was also the site of 2007 MTV Video Music Awards; how odd it is that the resort is also the venue for the mental health and substance abuse treatment conference that Kathryn will be attending during the week. Seems like she’d be able to apply any newly acquired skills almost immediately to inhabitants of the resort.
We have been looking forward to this trip for a long time. We’re hoping to catch some shows, see many attractions, check out The Strip, ride the rides at The Stratosphere, and visit Red Rock Canyon (check out this incredible panorama). All without going bankrupt. I very much doubt Vegas lets you leave with your pockets full.
Don’t worry, Iris, we won’t spend your college fund. Hopefully.

I made net gain on the slots when I went there..

Kathryn won 100 euros on the slots in a casino in Spain 5 minutes after we arrived at the casino. Then she stopped gambling right then so she wouldn’t lose her gains. I think this is the only consistently reliable winning strategy.
After she won, though, I kept on gambling with my own share of cash at the blackjack table and lost it all very quickly.

Saw your twitter about seeing Spamalot, flyingsirkus took me to see it when I was in Vegas. Absolutely hilarious!

Spamalot was pretty cool; it is a little odd seeing Peterson from Seinfeld playing the role of King Arthur. I liked the new bits better than the near-verbatim scenes from the original movie, probably because I’ve seen the original movie so many times. Monty Python + Vegas schtick = a very surreal and entertaining experience!
