--------------<part 1/2>---------------
So after getting my A-Fib back in order (zap-zap! and, as so kindly made public by TominCA). Myself and Debbie packed our bags for where else?... Yep, Sin City (aka: Viva Lost Wages). It was to be a semi short trip, coming in on a Sat and leaving that Weds. It has been quite awhile for Debbie and only her 2nd visit overall, my 8th, not a gambler per-say, just had conventions there for my business (mostly).
Incoming! Sat nite, our non-direct flight was a total of 14.5hrs. A 2.5 lay over in Newark gave us a nice happy hour at an airport bar. I knew the drinks would only get more expensive, but hey, that's what vaca's are for right? cough-cough
We stayed at the Trump Tower. Top notch all the way. I've gotta spoil my Ms. Debbie once n awhile
We didn't venture out the 1st night, now nearing 1am local, we were still feeling the EST time-zone which equaled 4am. Our hotel lobby views got us pumped for tomorrow somewhat....
The next morning, we got in our rental car and I ventured off and down to Hoover Dam as Debbie said she has never been there. Love the newbies look on their faces when you show them something big, bold and superior lol
After she finally got tired of hearing all my "This place is Dam fascinating" jokes, and I prolly laid on about 20 different corney ones to her, I figured it's time she got laid in two States at once. Well, squatted at least...
After the sightseeing, I suggest we load up on booze for our room. We take in some really cool and intersting twisty roads going the way my Galaxy S4 tells me to for a liquor store. Problem is... No Dam liquor stores even close! ha, had to get in another one
Back to our home, at least for the next 4 more days
So we bought a magnum of Kettle-One Vodka, several mixers like cranberry and 3 bottles of wine, an 18 pack of beer (admit sadly tho it had to be Mich Ultra for Deb). It's always about Debbie... haha, that's what I tell her anyway. So, she has this crazy idea of getting in our Trump robes. I resisted and said that's stupid, it's 4 O'clock in the afternoon!... well, until she said it would be worth it. Sold! I'm easy, what can I say
A selfie of a selfie
So after a walk-in shower, and big enough for 10 people to get in, we dress and get room service for a couple of apps to help soak up the Kettle-One Heck, we haven't even hit the strip yet! Oh so much to do I'm thinking at this point....
As you can tell, we ain't in Texas.
So off to the strip we shall go, Miracle Mile to some, I just say Strip (cuz I love that word).
Nor sure how this got so dark, sure wasn't in person. I needed sunglasses at night (hey, that was a Cory somebody song wasn't it?)
We ended up at the Harley Davidson Cafe on the strip for our chow and of course we were plenty dehydrated, so $15 drinks were in order. Well, not b/c of the price, that's just they way it is there for 2 shot drinks. Good thing we didn't need anymore than 2 each.
We worked off the booze by laying around the pool during the days. Man, I sure was loving the mid 70's and not a cloud in the sky weather!...
I have to sneak pics of Debbie when she's laying out. You know, no makeup and womenz are just crazy and paranoid that they look bad ....So I bounce a reflection off of the Trump Towers gold mirrored windows....
Just for my buddy Pappa-Beemer-Don Stanley... ( nobody else look please )
As she see's me, I quickly point my camera <up> and take this Trump upshot. I'm a sneaky lil bass-tard!
