Things I Have Learned From Vegas
Over the past 6 years I have been to Vegas 6 times and after this last trip I have realized that Las Vegas has taught me alot. Here's some of the wisdom that Las Vegas has given me:
1. The bigger your drink the lower you moral standards. You know those big ass 3 feet drinks that people walk around with. Ya, good idea, let everyone know that you inhabitions will be gone in 20 minutes. (That goes for you folks drinking out of the plastic cowboys boots. You know who you are, FOR SHAME.)
2. In & Out Burger is wonderful. But 2X in two days is one time too much.
3. Getting away from the Vegas madness is a must! A day trip to Red Rock Canyon or the Hoover Dam is good for the soul and the liver.
4. Start with a good breakfast base of something healthy and wholesome. Stay away from corned beef hash, it is neither healthy or wholesome.
5. 3 night and 3 days is the perfect amount of time. Any less and you try to pack too much into the time you are there. Any more and you want to take a baseball bat to the Wheel of Fortune slot machine.
6. It takes at least an hour to get anywhere in Vegas. Don't believe you friend if they say they will be back in 10 minutes. They are lying. They will be back in 60 minutes. With all of the walking, crowds, elevators, and distractions there is no way they will be back in 10 minutes.
7. Pack light. Cause the baggage claim in Las Vegas is a bitch.
8. Rent a car. Cabs are mucho dinero, and they cabbies are chatty. You can rent a car for less than $30 a day. You won't have to worry about airport transportation and everyplace has free parking and valet.
9. Rent a convertible. Spend the extra $ to get a convertible, seeing the strip all lit up from a convertible is the best way to cruise the strip. F-walking it.
10. Raspberry flavor vodka and cranberry juice.
11. Bring your cell phone charger. Since you know your friend won't be back in 10 minutes, have them call you.
12. Do your own thing and wait for no one. Too many distractions to be waiting around for people to get their act together.
13. Local casinos are the best. Nicest people, no attitude, cheap tables.
14. Take an extra day off when you get home. Going right back to work is torture, spare yourself and take the extra day.
15. Fancy shoes are sexy. Sneakers are smart.
16. What happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas. Your friends won't let you forget so easy.
17. Taking naps are for wussies. Steamroll through the tough times.
So I think that is more wisdom than you would expect one would learn from Vegas. Good times!
