Now, let's see how I did on my pre-trip commandments:
- Thou shalt not get a tattoo - No Tats. Not even a henna one.
- Thou shalt not go over the gambling budget - I think I probably did gamble away more than I had wanted to, but at least I didn't move towards credit card cash advances!
- Thou shalt not only drink Fat Tuesday - While I did pound back quiet a few of these frosty confections, I think I did a pretty good job of drinking other, less caloric beverages. Plus, with the bars being stingy with the pours (they really know how to screw over visitors), I drank more beer than I normally do.
- Thou shalt not overuse the credit card - I did well. I bought one pair of pants from DKNY, two shirts from Guess, and one shirt from Armani Exchange, but I stayed under what I considred to be "splurge." I did charge some necessities, but it was vacation. As long as I didn't max the puppy out (or even come close), then I consider it a success.
- Thou shalt get some alone time - No Gladiators* this time, but I did get some "what happens in vegas" time with someone I met at the party on Thursday night. That's all I'll say about that. :-D I also got some "gotta get away from my friends before I smother them with pillows" time on Saturday morning. I just walked around to some of the hotels and stuff that I hadn't seen yet (Wynn, Palazzo, and The Fashion Show Mall), and then I met back up with the group to go Madam Trussauds Wax Museum.
*To answer Dr. Kenneth's question about this: the last time I was in Vegas, I caught the attention of one of Caesar's gladiators at Caesar's Palace. Since I was with my family and needed a moment of gayness, I had a clandestine rendevous with that gorgeous hunk of man. Good Lord!! Plus, that is just one of those stories that is priceless. :-D

I was getting worried that you had stayed in Vegas. :-) Looks like y'all had a good time. There's a pic with 5 of y'all in a closet or hallway or something. Who are the usual suspects?
Yeah, that was actually in the bowels of Harrah's. As we were preparing to head out on Thursday morning, all of a sudden the cable went out. We shrugged and headed out the door to see that part of the tower, including the section with the elevators was without power (well, the elevators were working...just no lights in them). So, we walked down the stairs and ended up in the "servants" area. No one knew the way out, and there wasn't a lot of signage, which makes you wonder what would have happened if there was a fire? Fun Times!
