Misc Vegas

Vegas was PACKED, PACKED, PACKED - that's why we got the upgraded room. But there was also this little event called the NBA All-stars weekend, which brought out tons of people of all makes and models as well as the events for the Chinese New Year. Every casino was elaborately decorated for that. And there was also some kind of magic show convention too. When we got there it took almost 40 minutes to get to the hotel - when it should have taken maybe 10. The streets were jammed with people and cars. Where hear that on Saturday night it took people hours to get a cab, then 3 hours to get from one end of the strip to the other!!!! That's almost how long it takes to fly back to OH. We did see a few NBA stars and just missed Eva Longeria (sp). We saw Pete Rose signing autographs but whatever. Monday night we went to Emeril's steak house - Delmonico at the Venetian. It was yummy. And at the last minute Rob got us tickets for the Blue Man Group. That was really cool. Not what I thought it would be but better. If you get out there - go see it. And yes, that blue is some kind of paint and it's wet. The guy in the picture when he took pictures with kids he would touch his face and then touch the kids face and there would be a blue paint finger print on them. The kids enjoyed that. I skipped it!
