I'm BAAAAAAAACCCCCKKKK!!!! To celebrate that fact, lets throw up some ELVIS:

Viva Las Vegas

Bright light city gonna set my soul
Gonna set my soul on fire
Got a whole lot of money that's ready to burn,
So get those stakes up higher
There's a thousand pretty women waitin' out there
And they're all livin' devil may care
And I'm just the devil with love to spare
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas

How I wish that there were more
Than the twenty-four hours in the day
'Cause even if there were forty more
I wouldn't sleep a minute away
Oh, there's black jack and poker and the roulette wheel
A fortune won and lost on ev'ry deal
All you need's a strong heart and a nerve of steel
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas

Viva Las Vegas with you neon flashin'
And your one armbandits crashin'
All those hopes down the drain
Viva Las Vegas turnin' day into nighttime
Turnin' night into daytime
If you see it once
You'll never be the same again

I'm gonna keep on the run
I'm gonna have me some fun
If it costs me my very last dime
If I wind up broke up well
I'll always remember that I had a swingin' time
I'm gonna give it ev'rything I've got
Lady luck please let the dice stay hot
Let me shout a seven with ev'ry shot
Viva Las Vegas, Viva Las Vegas,
Viva, Viva Las Vegas

Vegas was tough on the body and soul this time around, moreso than ANY other trip. Hit casino day and night, had some bad play as well as some extremely fun an profitable craps playing. Free booze helped ease the pain, mostly.

Didnt sleep for shit for three days, which is killing me now. Also, got so drunk at a house party on Saturday that the whole NIGHT was wasted. I was out cold by 1030pm. SUCKED!!!! However, the kegs of beer, margaritas, and killer mariachi band at the house party DID make up for the time.

The bad thing I didnt do half of the shit I wanted to do in Vegas AGAIN. No Elvis sightings, no lounge swinging, no clubbing, no picking up fine looking hooker...errr...LADIES...., and worst of all, I DIDNT MAKE IT TO THE DOUBLE DOWN SALOON!! That last one really pisses me off. I missed out on that cool place again because of over indulging in the booze. Staying for just two days didnt help either, though....I need to go longer. Maybe for August/September? Hell, Ill even bring my monkey suit for the clubs...that'll be a change! Pics will be up later this week, BTW.
