This entry has been on the sidelines for awhile, mainly because I had not gotten around to loading the pictures.  I was only in the Vegas area for 3 days.

Day 2 was not as eventful as Day 1.  I had more relatives arrive this day in the snow.  Yes, there was snow out in Vegas and I witnessed it.  But similar to here in the DC area, people in Vegas don't know how to drive in the stuff, all 1 millimeter of the constantly melting snow.  So traffic jams all along the strip.  After we went through a number of hotels, my uncle suggested we see their Chinatown.  Because when you think of Vegas, you think Chinatown right?

BMT's Vegas Vacation: Day 1

I am on a holiday vacation/mini-family reunion out in Las Vegas.  Not exactly the smartest move for an Asian American family, since many of our kind have degenerate gambling problems, but luckily not my family.  The week is still young..

After weather problems in Charlotte, delaying the first leg of my flight, I ended up arriving on time in Vegas.  At least the delays got me the rare free beverage since we were on the runway for 2 hours.  However, in Vegas, just a couple of quick observations.
  • Despite this being my second stay at the Luxor, I'm still lost as to where to go.
  • Vegas is really dead in December.  Ain't no-one around.
  • Got propositioned while on the casino floor.  Hot African-American woman, but unlike Gov Blagojevich, I don't approve of "Pay to Play".  What's interesting is that she came up to me at the slots.
  • Won $200 on nickel slots, then promptly lost $50 of it on $1 slots, but learned my lesson and pocketed the remainder.  It could have been the hooker too (see above).  No I am not 80 years old.
