We love going to Vegas, but I think we overstayed our welcome this trip. After five days, we were sick of walking, scrounging for lounge chairs by the pool, and bad dance music. We were definitely over the scene at Flamingo and ready to go home! I think we’ll be seeking something a little more low-key next time.

Edit: I totally prematurely posted, so here’s some more details…

The old Vegas signs that you see in the pictures are from our tour of the Neon Graveyard, which I highly recommend visiting if you’re ever in Las Vegas. They have the original Stardust, Caesars, and Binions signs, plus others from movies and television. They are also in the process of refurbishing 30+ neon signs that will be displayed along Freemont Street in a “cruising” district.

I also collected over 250 nudie cards from one walk up and down the strip to cheers of “good for you” from the outstanding fellows flipping cards. I started seeing how many I could collect few years ago and this was by far my most lucrative trip. I did throw them away before we left for home.

Oh…and after 7 trips to Las Vegas, I finally played Keno and I don’t like it. Mainly because I didn’t win.
