Headed to Las Vegas Monday. I can't wait.
Gonna hit Casa Fuente, the Improv and play tourist.
We're driving down from Oregon and gonna stop at a few places along the way.
A much needed vacation away from work, our small town and kids.

I have my list of necessities.
Herfador
Cigars
Cutter
Lighter
Some clothes
Snacks
Laptop
Money LOL!
And my stuff may just fit in the car with all of the wife's stuff. LOL!

Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.

    Right on dude, have fun in Vegas. If you guys are into hiking, go check out Red Rock Canyon. Pretty fun stuff and they do have a section you can 4x4 in your truck.

    Nice. We took a helicopter trip to the Grand Canyon when we were there several years back. Expensive but an amazing experience.

    Enjoy dude!! We need pics from Casa Fuente for sure.
  • 0patience0patience Posts: 10,665 ✭✭✭✭✭
    I checked out the Red Rock Canyon info. It looks like it might be a worthwhile thing and not expensive at all.
    I want to at least go check out the Pawn Stars shop.
    And I plan on having a ton of pictures of everything. Especially Casa Fuente.

    Here are some pictures from the last time we went to Las Vegas for the SEMA convention.

    This is the road to the Grand Canyon West. LOL!

    The poor little rental car almost didn't survive this road to the Grand Canyon West.

    The beauty of the Grand canyon is amazing.

    After fuente's go out the front door of the forum shops and hang a left. Cross over to the Mirage and head in the side door. You will be passing Rhumbar........ step in side and enjoy the outside patio. Marker and I had a great evening there a few months back. Bring you own sticks, the ones there were pretty lame. Where you guys staying?
  • 0patience0patience Posts: 10,665 ✭✭✭✭✭
    We're staying at Harrah's. We got a great deal on rooms there.

    So the last week, I've been looking for a prepaid air card for my laptop and the wife's laptop to be able to check emails and all that on out laptops on our drive down to Vegas and the wife has a Fire Kindle too. So I figured we'd get one of those and have internet.

    After looking and looking for what I wanted, I didn't find anything that I would consider affordable.
    As I'm sitting there, my wife looks at me and says, "Can't we just use the hotspot on your phone?"
    Yep, I'm retarded. LOL!
    So for $30 on next month's phone bill, we have 3 GB of data on the hotspot. All that checking and running around and I had the damn hotspot option on my phone all the time.

    Ah Red Rocks. We live about 1/4 mile from there in Summerlin. Have a great time!
  • biodarwinbiodarwin Posts: 265 ✭✭
    Hope you have a real good time bro. Looking forward to the pictures! I was just in Vegas, but it was right before I started smoking cigars so I missed out on a lot of cool things I would have done now. So I will now have to live through you vicariously :)

    They mostly showed us the standard flavors. But it was cool to see how it is all made.

    Yeah, they just give samples out through the tour. It was still fun.
    They had a killer deal on reject jelly bellys, so we stocked up. LOL!
    Getting lots of pictures, but the hotels here charge for wifi. Wtf?
    Momma has been using the hotspot on my phone for here games.

    Tonight, VIP tickets to the Improv. Should be fun.
    And posting from a phone really bites.

    Glad to hear you are getting a chance to get away and enjoy some time with the wife. Well deserved! And Dat Phan! How cool is that?! His stand up was pretty dang funny on Comedy Central a few years back. Hope it's a great show.
  • 0patience0patience Posts: 10,665 ✭✭✭✭✭
    Stopped at a cigar store and watched a guy roll cigars. Got a few pics, but haven't checked to see how well they came out.
    Stopping at Rick's Restorations tomorrow. Since I do metal work, may get to talk to him if he's around. Or not. LOL!
    It's been a blast so far and Momma and I have had a lot of peaceful time together.
    She's been pretty tolerable to the things I wanted to do, like go to the Harley Cafe.
    Can't wait to get to put some pics up.

    So tonight, we went to the Improv and one of the comics was Dat Phan from Last Comic Standing.
    This guy is funny.
    Got an autographed DVD from him. A really great guy.
    I was amazed at how humble the comedians are and how much they appreciate their fans.
    They realize that the people who are going to their shows and buying their DVDs and CDs are supporting them and tehy seem to genuinely appreciate it.

    I didn't get any photos, as they don't allow it in the Improv for obvious reasons.
    I did get a picture of the stage though. LOL!

    Sometimes I feel like I'm making a blog on my posts.

    Tonight, we went to get into our room and the damn door wouldn't unlock for us. After going down to the front desk for the 3rd time to get a key that worked, I was pretty pissed off.
    One of the managers decided to upgrade our room and move us to the 11th floor rooms. Great view and a lot nicer room. There's even a TV in the freakin bathroom in this new room. LOL!
