... the road, because there was nowhere to sit outside and eat, plus it was just too dang hot. Even though the giant thermometer that Baker is known for was not working, the car thermometer was working just fine, and it was nearly 110 degrees F.<br><br>We drove through the ugly desert for a little over four hours to get to our destination, the Green Valley Ranch Resort in Henderson, NV. We had been very excited about our little ...

... way as there are people everywhere! Patty - We had another long day but this was much more fun! I am not sure I could ever be able to explain just how beautiful the Valley of Fire really is! It is a must, if you ever come out to Las Vegas. Hopefully, we will be adding the pictures when we get back. Someone (Susie) forgot the cord to connect the camera so we could download them. lol Oh Well.... I drove back ...

... behind the velvet rope in ESPN (tv chanel) vip area! It was nuts, met Russell Brand and the Prince of Manilla,ha! Saw Dennis Rodman and few other sports stars who we had no clue who they were! The waitresses were bringing over magnums of Verve Clicquot the size of small children, vegas is officially nuts!! Dennis our limo friend came to fetch us at around half four, what a gem!! Sunday - URGH....three days of hardcore partying was catching up with us as we could only just ...

... 100 dollars from $20 bet and went to the slots where we stayed until 5am. Drinks were a plenty and we both ended up on what we started that night. I didn't get to go clubbing in Vegas but why would you want to when there's gambling to be had?!?!?! We headed back to Arizona the following day but I got to see most of Vegas and experience some of the casinos. I'd love to go back again, if only for the roulette :)

... Inn and Super 8s. And there's nothing wrong with them, but we have been looking forward to the next couple days. See, hotels.com has this offer that every time you stay 10 nights you get a free night anywhere you want up to $400. So, the next two nights in Vegas we've got a really nice suite in the Golden Nugget downtown. We're pretty pumped. The place is awesome. It has two huge rooms, two bathrooms, a wet bar, and well, needless to say it ...

... able to rest some before we had to come back out for dinner. So we booked it across the street (because of the construction) and walked as quickly as possible down to Walgreens. We got 2 liters of water and some face wash. This only took a max of 15 mins. Then we left and used the pedestrian crosswalk to walk from MGM Grand to NYNY, and then NYNY to Excalibur. Then we used the indoor walkway to get from Excalibur to Luxor ...

... was going all in to go call Kelly and he won then he hit quad 5's and won a house prize of 221$ which put him up so he called it a night. I on th other hand was doing well and felt that the rest of the players were drunker than i was and i continued to play to a total of ~8 hours which got me up 302$ so I called it a night as well. All is all it was a good day and what was even better was that Jefe and I were leaving vegas on the plus end, and that hasnt happened in a long time.

... possible with my loyal audience) The wrestling was far better than expected - although it was very much along the lines of the WWF, which I can't abibe, some of the moves were pretty awesome and one had to admire the agility of the masked men (and women). My only complaint was that the two midgets who appeared in the first bout were grossly under used throughout the evening's entertainment. I ended the night as the proud owner of a colourful, shiny ...
