Sin City

Just added the pic (5/9/06). That's me, with eyes closed, on the left. That's also MY margarita, rocks-lotsa salt, thankyouverymuch. Kelly is in the middle, and Crystal is on the right. We're in the piano bar at Harrah's here. See, Kel, *I* knew where we were!!

Still in Vegas.
What more can be said?
Ok, well, a LOT more, but you've seen the commercial and I'm sure that you know the saying.
I think I told you about Friday. Most of it, anyway. We ended up going out with one of Kel's friends, Crys. Kel met her when they both lived in DC. Now Crys lives in Vegas. Lucky for us!
Crys picked us up at the New york, New York. For any of you that have not been there, it's a blast. It has an amazing roller coaster, lots of slots, a huge gaming floor, and wall to wall men. to be fair, there are wall to wall chicks too, but I wasn't looking at any of those.
From the NYNY, we went to Margaritaville. This place is across the street from Caesar's. I was hooked before we ever walked in the door, just because of the name. Yes, I have a secret (or maybe it's not so secret) LOVE for anything Jimmy. Son of a son of a sailor could have been sung about me, except *I* am not a son! Other than that, it could be my theme song. The bar/club was awesome. It got even better when the band sanf Brown Eyed Girl. I dranks 'ritas after my initial Corona with lime. Rocks, lotsa salt, if you please. Frozen stuff is only for the beach!
We stayed there way later than we should have. Crys then escorted us over to Harrah's, where we closed out the new Toby Keith bar. Then we tripped down to the piano bar downstairs, and that got even more interesting.
The guys were keying Bon Jovi. JBJ is a fine male specimen NOW, but he just was NOT my cuppa back when he was singing "Livin on a prayer". The guy standing behind our table noticed my distaste, and dubbed me "Bon Jovi", or BJ for short. yeah, wasn't that just witty of him??
We closed out yet another bar (yes, it was a theme for the night!), and headed back to the Monte Carlo. Of course, my fan club wanted to join us, and what can you tell a cute lil 25 year old but "Sure"?? So he came back to the MC with us, and watched us play the tables. Kel was hot on Craps, then BlackJack. I was just enjoying watching her play.
Finally, my lack of sleep came crashing down and I headed back to the room. 25yo wanted to join me. I have to tell you, that really just made my day. But instead of babysitting the poor thing, I told him to get back to his own hotel. I was truly flattered, but I'm still just a chicken at heart. Plus, I have my own young stud back home. It's hard enough keeping up with THAT man, why on earth would I add another??? Not to mention the fact that I love him!
So now I'm almost in la-la land. But I just had to blog before I go find a beach chair by the pool and sleep the day away.
I still can't believe that I thought this trip would be about staying in the room and writing. I mean, I'm in Vegas with my best friend. We have No hubbies and NO kids with us.
really, what's a Cherry to do?
yeah, that's what I thought.
And that's exactly what I'm doing.
Can't you see me researching from here?
