Matt and I took our first trip to Vegas last weekend and it was great. We stayed in style at the Super 8 behind the strip. It was not as bad as it could have been. At least the sheets were clean. We got to Vegas at about 9:00pm and started looking for something to eat. We figured everything would be open late due to it being a city that stays up all night. We were wrong. the only buffet open was at the Bellagio and it was 40 or 50 dollars a person. Not worth it for a buffet, so we walked around till we found the grungiest place on the strip. It was not a buffet but a food court next to the beer pong tournament.
The next day we went and watched a NASCAR race and the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. It was great but then the weather started to change and we thought it was going to rain. The race was half over and if it rained they would call the race so we decided to leave. We were positive it was going to rain but to our surprise it did not and my parents said it turned out to be a great race. At least we beat most of the traffic. After the race we went to the Pawn Stars store on the strip. We were very disappointed because the store was not as seen on TV. The Old Man was not there to make it worth it. Now it was time to eat so again we went on the search for a place to eat. What ever happened to the cheap buffets Vegas was known for? We ended up at the end of the strip at the Excalibur buffet. They charged us 20 dollars a person for a Golden Corral quality buffet. On the way out I saw a stand selling pearls and of course I stopped. The guy working there asked if I wanted anything and I said I was just looking. He got real snooty with and Matt almost hit him. He was sassing me for no reason, but I think he was having a bad day. The rest of the night was spent walking around the MGM, Luxor, and M&M World.
The last day was Sunday so we did not do too much but walk around. We looked in the NY NY and Coke place. We had had enough of Vegas and decided to go home. When you don't drink or gamble Vegas is not as fun. I personally do not enjoy watching drunk people act like idiots and I really missed my baby.
