LATE last night I made it home from an epic four day weekend with the silver gold stackers in Las Vegas. The first thing to say about this… it never would have happened (once let alone twice) without 
So thank YOU Summer again for a fantastic time. You’re the best! 🥰
This year joining in the fun (besides myself and 
The last time I visited Fremont Street was at night. At night this oldest part of Las Vegas is filled with people enjoying the overhead light show. In the day… it’s dingy and kind of empty except for some rough looking “showgirls” trying to sell photo opportunities to dazed looking visitors. We saw two get into a brawl with a group of four or five tourists. I have no idea what set the whole thing off, but the showgirls ended up chasing the tourists down the street, grabbing at them aggressively, yelling and smacking each with some kind of sex paddle. It was definitely a vibe….
The Mob Museum, which was established in 2012, is located in Las Vegas’s old federal courthouse and post office. The building originally opened in 1933, then was sold by the feds to the city of Las Vegas in 2002 for only $1! The stipulation being the site had to be preserved.
In addition to a gift shop and exhibits on mobsters, executions, gruesome murders and cartels, the museum also featured add on “experiences”. We chose the distillery tour, which was set in a prohibition era underground. On the tour we learned all about bootlegging and moonshine. We even sampled five different moonshines that were distilled on site. They tasted like college… 🤣😂
Las Vegas is a total eat fest covering everything from casual to celebrity chef fine dining. We had bbq, nachos, pizza, Ghirardelli sundaes, MGM Grand breakfast buffet, hueavos rancheros, fish n chips, fancy dinner, chicken wings… oh and now we all have diabetes. 🤪😂
I don’t think anyone came out ahead. I definitely did not come out ahead as Fat Elvis and I lost whopping combined $6 on the slots. 😄
At each other and at a comedy show! 😄
Saturday night we went to Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club in the LINQ Promenade. The venue was in a really awesome location filled with restaurants, shops and nightlife. It felt less like Vegas and more like an entertainment district. The headliners at the club were Nikki Carr and Michael Yo. Both of whom were edgy and hilarious.
After we spent some time in O’Shea’s casino gambling, watching beer pong and drinking “Anthony’s (delicious but overpriced) world famous lemon drops” Lucky me, I was staying in the Flamingo Hotel and Casino (right next door), so when the night ended (at 3am) I was a short elevator ride away from bed.
High in the sky that is! Silverd’s girl,
But then I spent $60 on the souvenir photo package! 🤣😂
@summertooth, @fat-elvis and I were the last three in Vegas. We spent yesterday having a last wander, riding the monorail, having a few drinks and eating some tasty (and not tasty food). They were great company on the last little bit of our Vegas adventure.Hive is a funny place. When I joined Steemit in 2017, I had no clue I would make actual friends. Who makes friends on the internet? What started as post comments moved into Discord chit chat. Eventually a few of us took the leap and met in real life. Then we had our weekly pandemic group voice chats. And now here we are six years in and on our second vacation together.
You never know where you will find your next friend. I will always be grateful to the blockchain for bringing these fellows into my life. They’ve made me laugh so hard I’ve ALMOST peed. They’ve given hugs when my eyes have welled with tears. I am so lucky to know such unique, funny, clever, caring, kind, mischievous, smart ass, thoughtful, goofy, emotionally intelligent, fun loving individuals.
