Flirting with Vegas

(This is a writing from 8-10-06)

If you haven’t been to Las Vegas before Whitney and I would recommend it. We have never seen such a stimulating location. From lights, to architecture, to shopping, to casinos, to traffic, to the most diverse population of people. (Such a unique perspective on the present and future Kingdom.) We have been shacking up at The Orleans, a location that my dad suggested that is off the strip and close to the highway. The past two days we have taken a shuttle to the strip to explore. While the shopping is a little out of our price range (Armani, Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Dior, Fendi, and the like) we had fun walking around and taking in the environment. We ate dinner at The Stage Deli (New York) and walked through Caesars Palace, Belaggio, and The Venitian. Since our lease on our apartment didn’t begin until the 11th, we decided to stay one more day in Vegas. So on Wednesday we slept in, ate at a huge buffet, layed by the pool, and spent some of our winnings on matching Lacoste polos. (We will be wearing them with collars popped while holding a green stuffed alligator on Christmas cards!) (jk) We ate fine dining at Chipotle and made it in early this evening to bed. We will arrive in Pasadena tomorrow around 1 PM to unload the truck. Whitney’s parents will be meeting us in LA to help unpack. So cool. I’m not sure when we will next have access to e-mail, but I’m sure we will find a local coffee shop in Pasadena to keep in touch. Thanks for visiting…Peace…
