Vegas What about Vegas?

Skip ahead to the Gallery?

All right, many of you probably know by now that I was laid low by a vicious illness as soon as I returned from Vegas, I blame sin city and the deregulation of the commercial airline industry, hey airlines you used to be profitable with all those silly government health restrictions remember that? Well now I guess you are all free to go bankrupt in any way that your precious and sentient market dictates.

"Wait what? No one cares about that sort of stuff? If they wanted to hear Voltaire's Bastards quoted they'd read the book? Sheesh that's a bit harsh don't you think? Yeah, yeah all right Vegas, I'll try to tell them about Vegas. I was sick you know, fever, aches, sweats, the whole deal..."

Right, so Vegas, Danielle and I arrived in the good old We-Still-Use-Annoying-One-Dollar-Bills Of A at around 10:30pm Vegas time and finally got back to our hotel (Bally's) and up into our room by Midnight. Since our bodies felt thought that it was 3:00am Danielle wanted to go to bed, I told he that there was no way that we could possible arrive in Vegas and go to bed without having a drink, so we headed of to The Paris casino for a quick beer (Sierra Nevada) and then off to bed.

The next day was the wedding day so we spent the morning and the afternoon walking around the casinos (which we actually did everyday...) and having a few drinks.

The wedding was held at this neat little wedding chapel called The Little Church of the West. Danielle and I, known for our latness, arrived about 30 minutes early for the wedding and were able to "witness" (from the outside) the nuptuials of the happy 6:00pm couple.

Kevin and Jackies wedding was great, and I wish them all the happiness in the world. If they read this I'd like them to know that Danielle and I had a great time and were very very happy to have been invited. All the best you two!

The Wedding started promptly at 6:30pm (or there abouts) and was over before 7:00pm. If you want to watch the wedding head to the churches website, you should be able to view the webcast.

After that it was off to Mandalay Bay for a dinner at this great restaurant, whose name I totally forget. What I do remember is that the food was great and it was across from this weird bar, called The Red Square or something like that, it was a communist themed bar in Las Vegas? The had a headless statue of Lenin outside covered in fake pidgeon crap, seriously, I couldn't make this stuff up.

But the rest of the weekend was a blast hanging around with everyone from Winnipeg or hanging around just Danielle and I. Instead of detailing the weekend for you event by event, I'll just direct you to my Photo Gallery area, if you take a look at the Las Vegas gallery you should be able to piece together the events as they happened.

Oh, one of my favorites was the yard long Martinis, ahh Las Vegas, what a trip!

hi just visiting "next blog," I'm curious about the wedding chapel. Was it very "Vegasie" or did it feel cozy?

Umm fabcee it was a bit of Both, a bit "Vegasie" but cozy as well. It's vegasie but the couple's friends and family were there making it cozy.

Also it's not as if Elvis was marrying them or anything...
