Las Vegas

We arrived in Vegas on Friday night. When we got the shuttle from the airport we got a book a vochures. As we were only staying three days we decided to take advantage of the offers. The first night we went to a comedy gig called Finding the Caveman. It was an observational comedy thing on the differences between guys aand girls. It was very funny and in a kind of venue similiar to Vicar Street with tables and stuff. We got free buffet dinner after which was really good. The rest of the night and before the gig we spent on the slot machines as all the shows are in casinos. We got up fairly late the next day and messed about in the hostel a while. Later on we headed out to the casinos before heading to a comedy magic gig. I'm not that big into magic shows but it was quite good. I think Brian was a little disappointed cause it wasn't really any magic that he hadn't seen before. It was free though. Then there was more time in the casinos and finally we headed to a knight's show thing. They had knights jousting and we had a big dinner we had to eat with our hands. We got to eat a whole chicken with it (it was a little smaller than the normal sized ones in a rotissary but I didn't come close to finishing it). That was absolutely brilliant. I really enjoyed it. We were sitting in the Irish section cheering on the Irish knight. Some of the guys in the crowd got really involved and started up chants and we spent our time booing the French knight and then there was an evil dragon knight who they all fought. It was a really good show that I would definitely go see again. They had really well trained horses as well and they had sparks and stuff when the swords were clashing and indoor fireworks at the end. That day Brian and myslef did really well on the slot machines and on the 1 cent machines I made like 12 dollars after putting in 1 dollar (that is pretty good for me) and Brian made like 35 dollars on 1 dollar. Definitely the best haul. On the last day we got up and I pottered around for the morning. Brian went off and got himself a scaffold in his ear at the piercing shop. It looks really great but it was very sore for the first few days. Brian also wants me to mention he looks really hot. That day we spent in the casinos. We decided to go all out and spend a bit of money getting involved in proper table games. Brian played a little roulette and lost all the money he had for roulette in two spins even thoguh he bet on like 8 things. Then he played Black Jack. He started with 40 dollars and went all the way up to 150 dollars over the course of about half and hour to an hour and then over the next half hour to an hour he lost it all. It was a good way to spend the afternoon. After loosing my Black Jack money I moved to Roulette and had a great time. I made about twice my money and then lost it but really slowly winning bits and pieces here and there. It was a really enjoyable way to spend the weekend. We got free dinner in the hostel and that was the end of our holiday in Vegas.
