Dave and I woke up EARLY to drive from Arroyo Grande to Vegas. It was early, but nice that the roads were free of traffic! We stopped and had breakfast at IHOP and decided this must be a "tradition" to eat IHOP on holidays! We went to "old" Vegas and were true tourist checking out a couple of our favorite show stores. Pawn Stars and the Toy Shack, Pawn Stars was pretty cool, but it made you realize how staged the show really is. Chumley did make an appearance for autographs and pictures which was pretty cool.
We headed to our hotel, Caesar's and Dave's used his magic to get our already free room upgraded! We had a nice Jacuzzi suite with a view of the strip. We found a discount ticket booth across the street from our hotel and scored tickets to the Terry Fator show, grabbed dinner and a drink and went to the show. We enjoyed the show and headed to find a blackjack table. Little did we know that finding a single deck blackjack table in Vegas was almost impossible, making our game time crazy limited!!!
The next day we headed out for a walk of the strip to find a place to play cards, again realizing that our favorite tables are almost impossible to find. We did however find a seat at the bar in Dick's Last Resort. If you have never been to one of these restaurants you're missing out on some seriously funny staff and some stupid people, you don't go to this type of place with a frown on your face and expect it to be a "classy" place. Drinks are ridiculously expensive, but the atmosphere is great. We thought we were stopping in for "a" drink - 4 hours later we finally left. Left with a couple that we met at the bar, got in a taxi and headed back to old Vegas. It was a ton of fun. Dave swears he feels like he got robbed of a day because it was a bit of a blur! It was a great fun trip and I actually can't wait to go back.
