No matter how many times you go to Vegas, you always learn new things. After 50 trips you'd figure we'd have it all worked out, but here's a list of what I learned this week:
- Two hours before your flight is a little tight to be leaving for the airport.
- If you're big and you're bald, you probably don't want to sit down front at Terry Fator
- It doesn't matter how well it's hidden, if there's an item in a store that's 95% off, my wife will find it.
- The Monkees slot machine is really boring, but Star Wars:Droid Hunt is awesome!
- The monorail is incredibly convenient, but $5 each way is too much.
- It doesn't matter how much stuff they blow up, the Sirens of TI show still sucks.
Those stretchy cords that they give you with the slot cards are NOT meant to be weapons, but should you find yourself in the middle of a battle, what you want are 3 cords stretched together with a minimum of 5 slot cards on the end.- Just because a slot attendant tells you something, doesn't mean it's true. Rum is always more than 150 points.
- If you are dealt 3 of a kind, getting everybody in the casino to make sure the card you need isn't on their screen, does not guarantee that you will hit your draw.
- If your wife asks you to wear a certain outfit for the evening, be very suspicious.
- No matter what people tell you, the cards they hand out on the strip are not numbered, and you don't have to collect the whole set.
- Nathans makes a great Grilled Chicken Club burger.
- Mystere seems to appeal to everyone on the planet except me.
- When the traffic lights in Vegas are red, they don't mean me.
- Cutting through the Forum Shops to get to Caesars Palace may be shorter, but it's never cheaper.
- No matter how much everybody wants you to, you'll look like an idiot carrying a flag at the front of a large group.
- The TVs in the Mirage are set to full volume when you turn them on.
- Nobody will ever see you singing along to a great song, but the moment you hum a bar of Justin Bieber...
- My wife CAN drive herself around Vegas and lastly...
- It really is the more the merrier. I look forward to this trip every year and they really do get better and better. Thanks for a great trip guys, and most importantly, thanks for letting me opt out of the boinger wars.
