All according to plan
I am in Las Vegas this weekend for two reasons.
1) My brother’s bachelor party for a wedding that is ten months away
2) To purchase and hopefully transport successfully from Las Vegas to Kansas City, 4 dozen vegan donuts from the best donut shop, Ronald’s Donuts.
Last night, as people arrived, the drinking ensued. We arrived early enough that I was able to partake easily for a few hours, stop at around 9:30, get to bed early, and be up at 5:40 am local time, and get those donuts. All worked out perfectly. Everyone I’m hanging out with in Vegas is still hung over at 8:40 am local time, while I’m completely fine. No traffic or people to slow me down getting donuts either. I was able to leave my room, get a cab, drive to the donut shop, ride back, and get to the room in 25 minutes. I have the chat log to prove it (note, all times are CDT):
(08:15:34 AM) Shane: so i’m gonna head out now to get donuts
*kiss*
(08:15:36 AM) Shane: bbiab
(08:39:53 AM) Shane: mission accomplished
Kelly questioned how much time I would have just laying around in the hotel room. Currently, I’ve been up three hours, watching “The Lone Gunmen” for the most part. Apparently, I’m spending a lot of time laying around the hotel room while people recover from last night.
We’re staying at the Palms, in the “Playpen Suite.” It’s not a horrible suite by any means, but I don’t think it lives up to the reputation. In fact, a lot of little things seem kind of cheap. I have 2 lights in my room on a nightstand, sitting around unplugged because there is no nearby outlet. My shower/tub filled up because the drain wasn’t quite working. There is no vent in the bathroom either, the water pressure was kind of weak, and the clock radio’s alarm doesn’t work. I’m not sure the AM reception does either. The best place I’ve stayed at in Vegas, is my brothers’s time share suites. at the Hilton properties here. They’re really nice. Kelly and I spent a week in one during our “honeymoon”, and I think I remember us really enjoying it.
Well, that’s it for now. There is a movie theatre possibly calling my name in the casino, and I might try to do some walking around before it gets too much hotter.
