Viva Las Vegas: Intrepid Explorer Recoinnoiters in Famed Sin City

Las Vegas, Nevada - Greetings from fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada!! I felt obliged to write a blog here while I am in the Entertainment Capital of the World because all too soon I will return to Shreveport, which is the Entertainment Capital of Shreveport.

True to Vegas style, we spent the first 23 hours of our trip awake- which adds an interesting mix to the euphoria/delirium/inner ear problems caused by the blinking light effect of The Strip. Donna and I rented a convertible so bookies are giving 3 to 1 odds I will be involved in a rear-end collision before thist trip is over. It's kind of hard not to look up and easy to forget your actually operting a motor vehicle.

The first day in Vegas felt like three days. The following is a timeline of Day One.

4 a.m. Wake up in Shreveport.
5 a.m. Check in at airport.
6 a.m. Get on plane, sit on plane.
6:40 a.m. Still sitting on plane.
6:41 a.m. Make a lap around the airport tarmac because the ground crew forget to close "a door."
7:37 a.m. Make two laps around the Houston airport to "aquire a new vector," whatever that means.
8:45 Depart for Vegas.
8:46 Land in Vegas.
8:48 Have freakout session about time warp phenomenon, then change watches to Pacific time.
9:45 Rent convertible.
9:52 Return to car rental center because of broken visor.
10:50 Play with dolphins.
11:38 Watch tiger cubs play with each other.
12:19 p.m. Eat.
1:48 Watch Bellagio fountains, ooh and aah in gleeful appreciation.
2:42 Hotel check-in. Ooh and aah in gleeful appreciation.
4:57 Inquire about nude pool lounge.
4:58 Giggle about thought of nude pool lounge.
4:59 Gag at site of people actually entering nude pool lounge.
5:30 Watch free show at Caesar's Palace...ooh and aahh blah blah blah...
6:32 Eat.
yadda yadda yadda!!!

10:00 p.m. Go to Tropicana Folies Bergere TOPLESS extravaganza....ooh and aah in gleeful appreciation.
12:45 In and Out burgers! Yeah!
1:00 Pass out from sheer exhaustion.

Im about to start day two...wish me luck!

That's the story of my life...
