So we got back from Las Vegas last night late. I didn’t want to leave. I think that when I win the lottery, I’m buying a condo there so I can go back on a regular basis. It was, needless to say, a highly enjoyable trip. We got in Friday night at about 11:30 and didn’t end up going to bed until 3 am Saturday morning. While we were there, we stayed at the Luxor, which was pretty cool despite our toilet overflowing with bubbly bathwater from one of the rooms above us at 3:30 Sunday morning. It did get us a new room, and one in the Pyramid, though, so it was worth it.
We saw Nine Inch Nails on Saturday night, and it was amazing. I was a little nervous that the crowd would be really rowdy, but everyone was super nice and polite. The concert was at The Joint in the Hard Rock Hotel, which is an awesome venue, only 1500 people. The Dresden Dolls opened, and although I really tried to like them, in the end I just wanted them to shut up and get off the stage, even if it just meant waiting another hour for NIN.
On Sunday night we saw Penn and Teller, which was also highly enjoyable. The show was really funny, and some of the tricks they did were pretty cool. After the show, as we were leaving, we noticed that both Penn and Teller were hanging around in the lobby, so we went to get pictures taken and got our tickets autographed.
Apparently we picked a good night to see them, since when we were waiting to get Penn’s autograph, Jon noticed Ron Jeremy standing to one side of the lobby. Only in Las Vegas. Anyways, it was pretty amusing to see him there. And in true porn-star fan fashion, I had him autograph my boob with a pink sharpie. I mean, how many opportunities do you get to meet an icon like Ron Jeremy?
So all in all it was a good trip. Hopefully I should have pictures up in the gallery by tomorrow night.
