We woke up this morning and blah blah blah...skip ahead to the good
parts cause this day has been completly unbelievable.
I think it will be best in list form but hopfully the formatting holds
since I'm doing this from my phone:
*We got stopped before the Hoover Dam by Homeland Security and Winnie
was searched inside and out. I told Kat it was her fault cause of her
accent. Bomb free we were let go.
*While waiting to park Winnie at The Hard Rock hotel I asked a man to
close his car door so we could get by him. He and I started chatting a
bit and he just happened to be the President of the hotel. One phone
call made by him later and Kat and I had reservations at The Pink Taco
for a fully compt dinner this evening.
*While checking in we were told our room had been upgraded from a
mountain view room to a pool view room.
*We went to the hotel pool party called "Rehab" which was totally
insane. It was the biggest douche fest I've ever been to and believe
me, I've seen some douches in my days. Oh my gosh. Hundreds of
plasticy people dancing in and around the pool. Kat got picked up,
literally, and dunked under water. When she came back up the guy put a
dollar bill in her bikini top. Yeah, it was that kind of party.
*After our free $100 dinner we were walking through the casino and a
guy asked me to sit next to him at a Blackjack table. Being my
favorite game I sat down between him and another guy and Kat stood
next to me. We watched them play a bit $500 hands at a time. One of
the guys asked me if I liked to play. When I said that I did he threw
down $100 in chips in front of me. Yeah, really. A half hour later I
was up $50 when he was cashing out. I asked him if he wanted me to do
the same so I could pay him back. He said to pay back half and keep
the rest...$100. By now I'm waiting for some hidden camera show to
jump out of somewhere.
*We decided that since we had saved so much money today that we would
splurge the $20 each to go to the fancypants dance club in the hotel.
While walking up to the end of the very long line of people waiting to
get in a man in a suit, I think he also had one of those walky talky
ear things too, came up and asked us if we wanted VIP admission to the
club. Duh, of course we do. He walked us to the front of the line, we
got in for free, went in and danced our butts off.

We are now in our snazy room amazed at all of the things that came our
way today and we have only been here 9 hours. We still have 3 more
days to go!
