We stayed at the Las Vegas Hilton at the top of the Strip for most of the week, then moved to the Imperial Palace mid-Strip for the final two nights.
Highlights of the trip included:
1. Cirque du Soleil's "Zumanity" show at New York, New York.
2. Two visits to Dick's bar and restaurant at the Excalibur, where they insult patrons in a fun way and generally say and do all the things servers normally only think about saying or doing.
3. The Gun Store - Mike fired off a few rounds from a Beretta 9mm handgun (into Jane's souvenir tank top) and emptied a few clips from an AR15 assault rifle into a paper target.
4. Watching Canada win the Gold Medal in Olympic men's hockey on 40 big screen TV's, surrounded and outnumbered by a host of surly Americans.
5. Drinks at Coyote Ugly.
6. Jane's massive $24 strawberry daiquiri, which she needed HELP just to carry!

That's it, I'm going back to Vegas to visit the Gun Shop! That looks like a hoot!!!
And I can just imagine what it must have been like to watch the men's final surrounded by Americans! Talk about surreal! Shaking your head in mock sympathy to avoid the bar fight and grinning in your beer mugs (giant margarita glass?) were you?
If you wanted your own bullet riddled pink tank top....you only had to ask.
Dang it!
Yes, yes. I DID want my own bullet riddled pink tank top!
