viva las vegas!

Just came back from a recent trip to Las Vegas...pics to follow!!! P.S. my flickr account is full for this month, so check out my Ofoto account if you please! :-)

Highlights of the trip:

* The casino experience is, personally, overrated... better off drinking the free booze than playing the slots (yes, it does get addicting!) The buffet's pretty damn good though...

* Good sounds and safe driving make the road trip worthwhile... kudos to the cool driving of Ghiel and Onel, the fab stylings of Jepjep and the wonderful playlist courtesy of Ghiel's Ipod mini. (we encountered numerous accidents and "would-be accidents" on the way back home, so peeps, please do NOT drink and drive --- nasty!)

* Vegas is HOT!!! Lucky for us it was a "cool" 100 degrees compared to the ultra heat of 115 the week before we came. Thank God for central A/C! :-)

* Got to hang with Ghiel's cutie nephew, Pico --- such a charmer! :-) Ladies beware! This one's gonna grow up to break a lotta hearts, i think...

* The best way to enjoy Vegas is to be in the company of friends! Amidst walking, long travels, clowning around and the ever present picture-taking, conversation is fluent and the fun keeps going...

* Las Vegas can be a hazard to a singleton's life --- after seeing the fantastic water display at the Bellagio, the romantic setting at the Venetian, i feel the burning need to hug someone and be close to my so-called significant other...

Ok, that said, i can safely say that Vegas, despite my reservations, has grown on me. The road trip rocks with its fab landscapes and smooth roads, the company was rockin' even more and the experience was something i wouldn't mind doing again. :-)
