You may be wondering what this first picture is. Well, it's forbidden to take pictures in casinos, particularly in the slot areas. So I had to do it. Here you go, this is in Caesars:

This is outside of Caesars. You're not supposed to climb up into the fountains. So I had to do it:

There's nothing illicit about this picture. It's just one of those stock jealousy-inducing "I'm here and you're not" things.
This is the big round pool with fountains at Caesars. It's warm. It's sunny. I'm flashing the peace sign.

This isn't a particularly flattering picture of me (unlike the rest of them -- *snort*), but I'm gonna bite the bullet and put it up, because it's important. I've been boozing and sunning at the pool and for some reason I'm dressed like a surfer.
This was taken at the Hilton, at the Star Trek Experience in Quark's Bar. The drink is called the Warp Core Breach. Now, I'm not a trekkie. But I've got a hell of a lot of respect for them on the basis of this drink alone.
I mean, look at it! It's bigger than my head! And it smokes! You're only supposed to order this to split between two or more people. This is solely mine. This is my third one.
Ok. Look. If you're gonna do all this partying (and if you're in Vegas why wouldn't you), you're going to need some fuel to keep you going.
If you're a vegan, I can't help you out, sorry. Otherwise, Morton's. It's just off the strip on restaurant row on Paradise Rd. And it's gooooood.
This is a picture of the 48 oz. Porterhouse they serve.

And this is a picture of the poor, decimated porterhouse at the end of the meal. C'mon. Suck it up! Go to Morton's and get your steak on.

This is the Blue Man Group. They have a good running show at the Luxor. This was taken at the pool at Caesars. I don't know what the hell they were doing there, other than maybe promoting themselves.
They don't speak, and they like to toss objects around and catch them in their mouths. They put some blue paint on my arm. There was a video conference going on at the gardens. There were some porn videos around, and also some Playboy Playmates, and the Blue Men. Sorry boys, I didn't get pictures of the Playmates.
Since I've already done so much pimping for Caesars, I figure I'll do one more. This is a picture of the phat crib they put me in once. I'm in the jacuzzi bathtub. The bathtub is in the middle of the fucking foyer/living room. Classy.
Ah yes, and I've just noticed I'm wearing that surfer shirt again. Honestly, I don't know WTF is up with that. I'm just happy I'm not giving the peace sign at this point.
A picture collection wouldn't be complete without a few of the standard sights. This is the lake at Bellagio where the fountains go off. Yes, it's as big as it looks. Hail Steve Wynn!

And this is a picture of the fountains going off at night. Prominently featured in this picture you can also see an uber-close-up of my thumb.
Before you start making cracks about my less-than-Ansel-Adamsishness, I'll remind you that this is at night, after a happy hour of Warp Cores and martinis at Morton's.

And just for good measure, you have to have some funky neon lights. The Flamingo still has the best lights on the strip.
|
 |
| This is another fucked-up picture, looking down the strip, but at least this one got fucked up in a pretty aesthetically pleasing way. |
 |
Last one. A view looking down the strip. The marquees are all different now. Caesars Magical Empire is gone, and Seigfried and Roy are gone, though last I checked the marquee was still there. My thumb, which is featured on the left side of this picture, is still in business.
