A Vegas Story
I woke up this morning in Las Vegas.
That was to be expected, though, since I flew out here yesterday in the 737-of-doom.
Though I'm only doing it a couple of times a year now, I used to fly a LOT. I know from flights. So please believe me when I say that this was one of the WORST flights I have ever taken. Not only was the plane crammed to the brim with obnoxious girls (Karen's 21! WOOHOO! We're gonna party!) and screaming children, it was also stuffy as hell and holy CRAP was the flight choppy. I've never seen flight attendants kneel in the aisles before so the first time it happened yesterday, after a particularly stomach-rolling nose-dive, I swear I thought they were praying. Needless to say that by the time the pilot slammed the plane onto the ground at McCarran, I was barely holding on to my breakfast and I could not get out into the terminal fast enough.
Woo, Vegas.
I'm here for ten days, which sounds awesome at the outset, but being here for work is not at all the same as being here for play. The first thing I did when I arrived yesterday was go to meetings and last night, while the casino in the lobby was full of loud, drunk people lighting money on fire and loving it, I stretched out on my bed to watch a Discovery Channel documentary about India and talk to The Guy on the phone. Party!
Fortunately, the advance work is going really smoothly so far (*knock wood*) and it looks like I'll have a little time to myself today before the rest of the crew arrives. I'll probably use that time to do something really shocking like... nap.
Viva Las Vegas!
I so know that feeling sister! I had that week here in Orlando...so ready to go home.
I did see the Epcot center from the roof of my hotel though. That was almost exciting? LOL!

Well, I guess that means you won't be at Bootie this weekend...

I was just there for a conference for a week. Vegas for a weekend is really fun, Vegas for a week is a REALLY LONG TIME. I couldn't wait to get out of there. Have a great time and try to get off the strip if you can - it'll break up the monotony.
