My little cousin just turned 21 and I thought what a better gift than a trip to Vegas!
August 30th: Up early 4:00am to take the shuttle from Windsor to Detroit Metro, Delta flight leaves at 8:30 so we have a bit of a wait ahead of us but the wait is part of the fun for my cousin (it was his first ever flight.) we take off, 3.5 hours later we touchdown in Vegas! We grab our bags, I chuckle a bit watching him take pictures of everything that moves flashes or rings...hop into the limo and my job at tour gide begins. First stop is the Las Vegas Sign...I think he only got 15 pictures of the sign.
Next stop is Harrah's, the room wasn't ready yet so we went to grab a bite while we wait...i ased my cuz Buffet or cafe? off the the buffet we went, about an hour later went to check on our room and it was ready so we went up to unpack. I could see he was itching to do some gambling, so we went down...me to the BJ table him to a machine of sorts...after about 1.5 hours he finds me to do some "touring". ok off to the monorail and MGM...then the walk back to Harrah's finger steady on his camera. By the time we got back it was almost time for dinner, to make it easy we just went back to the buffet, then some more time at the tables and a few machines. 7:30pm time to go to the room to get ready for Penn and Teller. Great show as usual. After the show we take the shuttle back from Rio and go for another walk, cuz wants to go in Royal for a bit...he sits at the wheel of fortune machine, i sit at the next spot, i hit for over $150 after a few spins, he gets $100, we look at each other "i think we should go" back to Harrah's play some more, pull cuz away from the machines at about 4am.
August 31st: Up at 7:30am and wake up cuz...time for breakfast, "I have a place for you" i said to him...Off to Hash House A Go Go, he orders the french toast and i order the chicken and waffels.
We both could only finish about half our meals then it was time for more touring to walk of our breakfast. Cuz thought all the massage places around the Strat was entertaining, then in and out of every casino on the way back to the room, this is where i realized that i am not 21 anymore, my feet were on fire. It was after lunch at this point but we were still both full from breakfast so we went to Carnival court for a couple cocktails. After that it almost time to get ready for the BlueMan group show, up to the room, lounge around the off to the show...another great show, in all the years i have been going to vegas this is my first time seeing them.
The rest of the night was more gambling and a few more cocktails...
Sept. 1st: Up again at 7:30am, Cuz is up and at'em already...I ask "where is breakfast at today? or should i even ask?" he laughs, so back to the Hash House we go...it was another big one.
After breakfast we did the other side of the strip in and out of every casino...grabbing a cold drink where ever we could. It was almost 6 by the time we finished so we decided to go back to the Mirage for dinner. After dinner it was time to go to the room and ready for downtown, I think that was his favorite part of the trip, watching all the crazy weird people there and the old feel you get, like watching a older movie about vegas...after a few hours or so, it was time to get back do some more gambling and a few more drinks. Bed at 4am again.
Sept. 2nd: Slept in today so up around 8:30, I couldn't do hash house 3 days in a row so i just grabbed some fruit. Time to checkout, drop off the keys and check the bags for a few hours...i just played some LOTR and tried the Hangover slots, cuz did the same then off to the airport Security was a breeze.
Got a call the next day from Cuz want to plan the next trip...I think I created a monster
