Not bad, looks fun. I have to stay away from casinos though as I am afraid I would be addicted.

Lots of NBA groupies walking around?

'Cause he's a youngster. You're supposed to do dumb stuff like that when you're a youngster. It's fun, and he'll look back on the trip (and his lost youth) fondly in the years to come. Too many responsibilities prevent most people from doing that sorta thing when they're older.

Looks fun. Im going there with my gf at the end of April. We're staying at the MGM grand.

BTW, thats not an SI in the first pic right? I think the Si's redline is 8500.

Yeah but he didn't even get to get drunk!!! Seems like his trip got cut short for some reason cause he said had a room at the Venetian. Tell us the truth... you lost all you money and the trip had an abrupt end

If I was just going to go to a casino for a quick gamble there's PLENTLY of good indian casinos much closer than vegas though for a turn around trip.

actually the trip was initially a solo one, recen events in my life have got me pretty down and something bad happened thursday to where i felt i just needed to get away, get out of cali and away from everyone i know. last min my friend txt me asking if i wanted to go to the gym and i said no but he could come to vegas with me so he called in sick to work and came with me to help cheer me up. the plan was to sleep in my car but he needed to be back tonight for work so we decided to stay only the day then he decided he would call in sick again (counts as 1 sick call) and we could stay an extra day so we reserved a room but check in was not till 10-11 and after waiting 4 hours we couldn't take it anymore and decided to leave (especially since he was already $240 in the hole LOL). I didn't want to pay $240 for a room just to sleep and in before driving back so i drove without sleep lol

Hit Vegas every year for werk... scariest moment was waking up under a SUV one morning and having the driver pull out of the stall with me still under there.

I figured, and they will only increase, you were there pretty early in the weekend. I can't imagine the amount of hot women there right now looking to bang themselves a ball player.

Security industry... not the "If I told you, I'd have to kill you" sort, but we secure some pretty high profile buildings.

ISC West is the show in Sin City, so we definitely take advantage of it.

The one time I was too drunk to find my room . Now, I have a company designated "guide" to make sure we make it to our client meetings at brunch the next day.

Hey I used to work at a place in San Jose that went to the ISC West shows in Vegas every year too.

So what kind of gas mileage does a Civic get at 127MPH?
I couldn't have hit Vegas without riding at least one coaster.

<--AT's coaster geek

The coaster at New York New York is pretty weak for how long of a line and how expensive it is. The best ride is the tower on top of the stratosphere. Similar to other ones accross the nation, but this one is at 1100 feet. Very cool!
