Five Things I Learned in Las Vegas

1.  Sometimes, you see things you just can’t explain.  Like furries dancing on a stripper pole at JET Nightclub.

(JET, by the way, was an incredible night out.  So good that I’m almost certain I can never go to a nightclub back home and have a good time… ever… again.  It’s also very cool that for about $100, you can play like a VIP for one night.  Very cool.)

2.  Driving in Las Vegas is not a good idea.  Driving the Las Vegas Strip at night is an even worse idea.  Cutting off a city bus driver?  An epic bad move.

We were watching with our mouths agape as the angry white haired man driving us down the strip got out of the bus, and started to berate the people in the stretch limo/utility van in front of us.  He really needs to stop eating Corn Flakes after peeps pee in them…

3.  The Fremont Street Experience is just that… an experience.

This woman must REALLY be a KISS fan.  She rocked out for the entire 10 minutes that the KISS light show was going on above head.  Fremont Street is a sad reminder of the cheap, tacky and gritty days of Las Vegas’ history… but the lights are still cool!

4.  Every casino has a theme.

Clearly the Excalibur’s is slutty dancers and dirty carpets.  Seriously, though, we had much fun at Excalibur.  Dick’s Last Resort is a fun dining experience, the steakhouse was cheap and casual, and in general it has an animal house feeling to it.  We still preferred our time at our own hotel – the MGM Grand.  IT was fantastic!

5.  The city never sleeps.

We walked home from JET on Monday night at 4am… and we weren’t the only ones out and about.  Granted… it was much less busy than I had pictured, but it is indeed possible to party all day and all night in Las Vegas.

A great holiday!  It’s not a question of ‘if’ we’re going back… it’s ‘when’.

BONUS – #6… You can get anything in Vegas.
