Vegas was awesome. There's no other way to describe the city. Here's the best way that I can put it for people who've never been: It's just how you would imagine it ... with a couple hundred more lights.

We stayed at the MGM Grand (you can click the pic above for pictures) and it was amazing. The 2^nd largest hotel in the world proved to be all that people brag it up to be. After we got done screwing Elway over, we flew in on Saturday and went straight to the MGM. It took our bags a while to reach our room, but once they did, we were hungry so we ate at Emeril's restaurant in the hotel. If you're looking for some good food, and I mean anywhere, take a flight in just to eat here. You're don't become one of the top chefs in the world by serving average food. Let's just say it was amazing and we were both disappointed that we didn't go eat at his restaurant while we were in Atlanta.

We then took a cab ride up to the Sahara to see the Amazing Jonathon. We get there a shade early so what do we do? Yep, we went and lost money gambling. I blew $50 right away at the blackjack table while Christi banked in $13 playing the Monopoly slots. Once we had our fill, we went to the show and it was hilarious. Both of us absolutely loved his Comedy Central stand up, and the Vegas routine was even better. It was extremely raunchy, but amazing nonetheless.

Sunday was our day to just walk around the city. We stopped off at The Bodies Exhibition. This was something that I wanted to see while I was in Berlin in high school, but never got around to it. This was amazing. I'm still not sure how they are able to do some of the stuff they did. And if you're one of those "Big Bang" believers, take 30 minute walk through there and when you get to the exit, tell me the world is still an "accident." It really makes you think how thought provoking and long it took the good Lord to develop our bodies. A must see.

After this we hotel hopped (not casino hopped) our way up the strip. We did play a little at Treasure Island where I showed Christi a roulette method I developed back at the good ol' days of Winnavegas. I did my "bet the 12's" and Christi bet on black and red and we ended up taking around $40 from the casino. For the night cap, we decided to see Le Reve. Holy crap people. Best. Show. Ever ... There might be no better form of entertainment in the world. I never thought an hour and a half of hearing no words spoken would be cool, but it most certainly was. The Wynn specifically designed a theatre just for this production. The whole thing is done over a circle of water and it's a story of a girl having multiple dreams. The promo video can be seen here. It was quite spectacular.

On Sunday, we ordered room service and then made our way to the Bellagio for "the best buffet in town." We really weren't too impressed, but figured we had to eat at a buffet sometime while we were there. We had a few more hours to kill before our flight and Christi was in the mood to go gamble some more. After losing $30 at the MGM after our checkout, I really didn't want to go in the hole anymore right before we came home. I listened to her and sat down with $40 at the roulette table again. I played my odds where I have a 83% chance to at least make money or make my bet back at the table. I won about 13 hands in a row and I suddenly turned the $40 into $170. The streak finally ended on one of my normal $30 hands and I was suddenly up $100 just because Christi had the itch to go back and play. After doing some careful calculations, between my roulette and blackjack and Christi's Monopoly, we were up a total of $33 for our trip. I know that doesn't sound like much, but we came away with money, and we were happy for it.

With an extra $100 in my pocket, we both decided to go back to Tiffany's and get Christi the necklace that she really wanted. I had no problem doing that at the time, but after we were done, she had already picked out her V-Day gift, so I have some expectations to live up to now.

At this point, you might be saying, "Hey, 3 days in Vegas and that's all you did?" Well, not to be cliché, but what happens there truly does stay there.

Update: I forgot to mention that I took some videos while we were there as well. We got a nice one from the Lion Habitat at the MGM and a water show from the Bellagio.
