A journal written by an Irish-American lad living in New Jersey with the love of his life Maggie, a handsome Sheltie named Duffy, and a maniacle cat called Chainsaw. Mostly nonsense, some rants and ramblings. Often amusing.

Housewifes and Hookers

Okay I'm back from Vegas. What a town. It cannot be explained to those who've never been there. I did fly and survived. Of course I had a little tranquilizer in me but overall, the flight didn't suck. Except for the fact that the seats were so small they look like they were designed around an anorexic five year-old dwarf spider monkey. Really people. Not comfortable at all.The flight was long and uneventful. Thankfully.
Once on the ground we checked into our hotel and hit the bar. The hotel was of the divey variety and it had a funny stink to it. These places are amazing. Billions of dollars are poured into this city in gambling alone. Not to mention the whores. They were everywhere. Walking the streets and I'm sure I saw a few in the hotels. And when you think hookers in Vegas, don't hink Pretty Woman, think more like 'crap, I hope the power goes out..' Guys stand out on the sidewalks handing out coupons for the call-services. Coupons people. Coupons for fucking blow-jobs. Think about that for a minute.
The city is, aside from that, amazing. When seen from the air it baffles the mind. The desert is pitch black and then all of a sudden, like a spotlight, there it is. Billions of lights in the middle of the desert. Hundreds of people fill the casinos. From the ordinary guy and his wife and kids to the singleguy thinking he's ome to town to bankrupt the place, to the retireees hoping to pad the ol' nest egg. A person who's into 'people-watching' would have a field day here.
We gambled. I won a bit on the blackjack table and the wife won a bit on the Elvis slots, we gave a bit back but in the end we broke even. Had dinner in a four star restaurant. Dig this. The groom's son knew the manager of said restaurant and the kid hooks us up big time. Free wine, free champagne. Free appetizers, and I'm not talking nacho chips and watery salsa here boys, I'm talking freakin' pate and some kind of whipped salmon spread. Dinner was amazing. I had a pan-seared steak that gave my stomach a fucking woody and then the deserts came out. There was six deserts dropped on the table and when they were gone, 6 more came out. We all waddled out of the place. The name of the place is the Bouchon and it's in the Venetian Hotel.
The hotels and casinos are amazing. I'll get into that more in another entry. Anyways. It was freakin' cold today and apparently a big snow storm is coming in this weekend. Great. Take me back to Vegas
