My trip to Vegas.....

[THE FEZ MAN]

well me and the old lady finaly bit the bullet and decided to go to Vegas last weekend, in short i can take it or leave it. it was ungodly hot 105 in the shade the drinks (that i bought) were way over priced (i guess to make up for the free ones i was sucking down.) the food at the buffet sucked (never get seafood in the desert)

and the kids...... fucking kids everywere all the fucking time 3am on the strip and cunts pushing strollers and screeming toddlers running all over the gameing floor bumping into me spilling my drinks and makeing shit sticky.. what the fuck is wrong with people..... drunks everywere, whores danceing on the stages, me pissing away my hard earned money, and some fucking brat crying that he wants his baaa baaa...... i wanted to fucking kick one just for the hell of it.

on the bright side i got to close the show with penn & teller, me and another guy were the firearms experts.... i got to go up on stage inspect the gun and sign the bullets that they fired.

i also ran in to flavor flave in the las vegas air port
here's some of my photos

never have a bad time in Vegas...where you stay is key...I'm a big fan of Mandalay Bay and Hard Rock...you can avoid the kids if you hit Hard Rock...no kids there.

we stayed at the Rio, cuz that is were Penn & Teller were and my old lady wanted to see the WSOP but after we made the reservations we relized that they were over, she still got to play some poker though till some tweeking jackasses started to fuck with her and she got upset and walked off the table that basicaly ruined the rest of my trip. if i knew what was going on i think i would have punched them. she was smart and waited till about 4 hours later to tell me what was going on, i was half lit and pissed anyway

When I stayed at Harrah's I got a lovely veiw from the 5th floor of a giant AC unit and the other hotels parking garage...then again I guess they really dont want you in your room much in Vegas do they.

I stayed at the NYNY and had a cool view of the rollercoaster... which by the way really sucks when it is running and you are trying to sleep.


Edit: by the way, Fez, I think I might love you.... I am writing a paper on the seperation of chuch and state and was just looking through the link in your sig for ideas. Gracias.

Whats with the overethusiastic grin Fez?

[THE FEZ MAN]

if you had as much booze in you as i did you would be grinning also. not to mention pukeing your guts out. when i got called up on stage i almost shit myself

What is the bullet thing about? I've never seen their show but I'd def. go if I go to Vegas.

they do a variation of the old bullet catch gag. they take two 357 revolvers (nice ones i might add) and shoot thew pains of glass, break the glass and catch the bullet. now i know its a trick but damn its a good one. i inspected the weapons. two model 629 smiths, with 7"bbls and lazer sights clamped under the bbls. to me it looked like they had honed the bbls out and worked the triggers a little but as far as i could tell they were quite real, the bullets also seemed quite real. although they were light loads with full metal jackets, after the shots we took the still smokeing caseings out of the guns and then teller spit a bullet into my hand that i had marked the bullets had been thew the bbl of a weapon. the lands and grooves were clearly visable. with out a comparitaer there is obviously no way to be sure but it was good enough for me. there was also no other marks on the bullet like it had been taken out with a puller or had impacted anything like a vest

Well if they had such a light load in there then they'd be able to catch a bullet if it was like up to like 280fps without brekaing their skin but it would leave quite a bruise.

i figured it out. they switch guns. they make a big deal about changeing into bullet proof vests. i can only figure that they switch guns when they change into the vests at that time they swap guns with some stage hands who shoot into something soft on the other side of the stage then put the bullets with the guns on the tables behind them. i went to wikapedia who explaines it better. i never got to inspect the guns after the shot. and before they bring the bullets and guns out they take off the vest. i guess they lay the guns on the table. thats ok. its still a cool trick if thats what they do

I can do without Vegas as well. If you have a small fortune to burn and you're winning at the tables I'm sure your perspective changes, but I didn't think it was that great. On my last day there I decided to do the Grand Canyon tour instead of piss anymore of my money away. And I'm glad I did. It's definitely a high-rollers paradise, but for the average schnook like me, I'd rather just go to AC and save some cash. The less foreign tourists and kids screaming the better.
