Sin City

notes from the vegas trip...

:: the riviera is just an okay hotel, but i like their self-check in system. you just slide your credit card and choose the kind of room you want. the best part? making your own card keys! fun!



:: this hotel worker was super fun and nice. i want to be her friend. i'm sad we didn't get her name... but i've decided her name was cherish. isn't cherish cute?

:: aladdin is now planet hollywood hotel and casino. they put a cheesy sign on the outside, but it's nice inside. a cross between palms, mgm and hard rock. but i'm sad i never got to try the aladdin buffet and the aladdin gay club.

:: greg and i saw mama mia. i thought it was okay, but greg loved it. it did inspire me to work on my madonna musical idea.

:: most exciting part of the weekend? greg winning $1000 on $1 wheel of fortune. i wasn't there, but he took this pic.
:: my new favorite slot is some strange hamburger game. i totally got my jollies off it.

:: on the way back, we hit up primm outlets. greg and i bought a ridiculous amount of stuff for pretty low prices. he got jeans for $8! i bought a cool jacket at guess. greg, keep your hands off! oh... we were walking through the outlet and i was about to say, "hey, someone smells like hollister: when i saw that they added a hollister outlet!!! i was so excited...

:: traffic was good both ways, but i got us lost in rialto on the way back. the 210 freeway was closed off and we drove around forever trying to get back on. greg called this adventure "escape from rialto." i think the city of rialto closes the freeway on purpose so people are forced to spend time in their city. it's like how the mutants in "the hills have eyes" trapped unsuspecting victims.
