Let's see...
This trip happened over half a year ago...
And I took precisely zero notes.
Woohoo! Exploding helicopters, here we come!
This jaunt down to Vegas may not
be what you are expecting.
If you expect to see tons of Vegas Strip photos...
or even discussion of it...
Sorry.
Been there. Done that.
That's fine. We only made it halfway down the Strip before deciding we'd seen enough and heading out.
Did we take a helicopter ride
to see the Grand Canyon???
No.
But why not??? Besides funding, that is.
Actually, I've yet to see
the planet's second largest canyon.
But I'm hoping to next year.
And I doubt I'll ever see the largest.
But who knows?
This sent me immediately to Google. It seemed definite when measuring by length or depth, but inconclusive with regard to volume.
You know what throws me?
Our flight leaves at around 3pm
and gets into Vegas about 4pm.
But it's a three hour flight.
Time travel!!! So cool. And you were going way faster than 88 mph.
There definitely may or may not
have been turbulence.
And the flight may or may not
have departed and/or arrived on time.
Precision. It's what my TRs are all about.
That's ok. I may or may not be skimming instead of reading every word.
Of which I didn't take any photos
of the exterior.
But thanks to the wonders of Google,
it looks like this:
Laziest. TR. Ever.
We had booked a standard room,
but once again I did the credit card trick
and we were upgraded.
Wasn't quite sure what you meant, but I found your explanation in the responses. Pretty slick there.
So that's our room for the next three nights.
Looks pretty swanky.
I mean, come on.
Did you really think I wouldn't?
It was walking distance from the hotel
for Pete's sakes!
You visiting the Harley-Davidson store is as predictable as my Philadelphia sports teams breaking my heart.
The Heart Attack Grill in Las Vegas
is famous for throwing caution to the wind.
Seen that one on TV!
I personally think that the best part
of the restaurant is that the waitresses
are all dressed as naughty nurses.
This would really apply in just about any situation though, wouldn't it?
And since:
1. This is a family board. And;
2. Ruby was with me.
I refrained from taking any photos of them.
That sound you just heard was crushing disappointment.
Feel free to Google.
What you do on your own time,
is totally up to you!
Okay, we'll just pause a moment
until
@Captain_Oblivious gets back.
Hang on, I need to backspace "largest canyon in the world" out of there.
Wait, this is a work computer! Dagnabbit. I'll have to do it at home.
Wait, then I'll have to delete the browsing history before my wife sees it. I had no idea this was going to be so complicated!
Oh, just move on. I probably have a better chance of getting Julie to wear one of those outfits than I do of pulling this off without consequences.
Before entering this fine dining establishment,
patrons must be properly attired.
Yes. There is a rather strict dress code.
You have to don a hospital gown to eat there.
This makes total sense. They probably have an ambulance waiting in the alley. Saves lots of time this way.
We sat down and each ordered a burger.
Just a single bypass, thanks.
We split some onion rings
and I could see the disappointment
in our nurse's eyes.
"Split? Split? How.... healthy of you."
If you order a salad, do they go right to the spanking?
I made up for it by ordering a
Chocolate Peanut Butter shake.
There you go. That's the spirit.
Apparently, if you don't finish your meal,
you will be subjected to a spanking.
To quote Danny Glover in every
Lethal Weapon movie ever made
(I believe there are 62 of them)
and subsequently every movie
he was in thereafter...
I'm too old for this shi..... stuff.
And I've seen all 62 of them! Probably more times than I should have. And yes, I'm in the same category.
Which of course made me wonder
if there were patrons who came
in to deliberately not finish their
culinary dabbling with mortality.
I'm sure there are, but...boy, I just don't get that one.
I Triple Dog Dare you to wear that the next time
@franandaj invites you to "the club".
How was it?
I can definitely give the food there
a resounding "Meh".
I've had wayyyy better burgers.
Not the worst, not even close.
But just... well, considering the hype,
a bit disappointing.
That stinks. Hate it when a place doesn't live up to the hype.
The nurse stood up as tall as she could,
stretched back her hand high into the air,
and as forcefully and brutally as she could,
she lashed out at the young man's rump.
The CRA-A-A-A-CK! reverberated throughout the room.
I mean...just...
I'll never understand why anyone would invite pain into their lives. We get plenty on our own!
Oddly enough, the two original
Heart Attack Grills in Tempe, AZ
and Dallas, TX have closed.
And the one we visited,
lasted less than two months.
But it sounds so appealing...
I mean.... A whole world of chocolate?
And you really think I can walk past that?
Speaking of appealing!
But to bring home as gifts for the girls.
Veteran move.
You've been doing this Dad thing for a while, I see.
Vegas never sleeps.
But we're old.
We do.
Amen.
