Before we jump into the last few days of the Fall TV preview I wanted to share ten things I learned about Las Vegas now that I’ve returned from my first trip.
1. They’ll put anything on a slot machine these days. While in Vegas I saw an Alien machine, a That Girl slot, Wheel of Fortune, Beverly Hillbillies, Twilight Zone, Clint Eastwood and the greatest slot machine ever Star Wars.
2. The only thing better then the odd slot designs were the prices. I’d never played penny slots but this is clearly where it’s at. Nothing like winning 14 cents at a time. Seriously if they had penny blackjack I’d so be there.
3. Mike Tyson is still one of the most magnetic personalities in sport. I saw him work out at the Aladdin on Friday and while the size of the crowd was impressive, the cheers we gave him were even more so.
4. Monorails are awesome.
5. Playing a Vegas poker room is really all that its cracked up to be. Its fun to play with strangers but make sure you sit at a table stacked with at least 3 suckers so you can stay around a bit. I’m thinking only penny slots and poker next time I venture out there.
6. The best bar/restaurant in Vegas is not Bobby Flay’s or Wolfgang Puck’s, it’s Quarks at the Star Trek Experience. I’m not a trekkie but I will become one as long as they keep the giant drinks coming. Oh and if you go please order the Sulu Toss cause George Takai needs the action. (No joke that’s the actual name of the meal)
7. If you meet one professional whore on your trip, soon every woman in the casino will look like they have some whorish qualities.
8. The Bellagio is very surreal. Not only did I feel out of place with some of the people but for a few seconds I actually forgot I was in Vegas. The garden exhibit offered about 1 minute of tranquility that almost made up for the fact that the fountain show was canceled due to wind.
9. The doors in Las Vegas are very difficult to operate. Not only did my face meet glass in the biggest revolving door ever but many in my group had difficulty with the push pull doors as well. I figure its just that no casino really wants you to leave.
10. I was made for Vegas or vice versa. Despite spending too much cash and not getting more then 10 hours sleep over 3 nights I love that town. Perhaps a slightly shorter trip next time and it must not be for at least another year but good golly I think I found my own private heaven. (and when I say private I mean me and about 1,000,000 of my closest friends)
