What a Birthday!!

July 27-29, 2007
Vegas Baby!!

Gio wanted to Dance. My gal, Candace is a professional gambler on the side. Kelly needed a break and so did I. So where do you go to get away from it all AND celebrate Gio's birthday, too! Vegas, of course.

Just a quick weekend from Friday after work until the wee hours of Monday morning. It was a blast. We did the VIP bottle service at Studio 54 and danced our feet off. We gambled and won, then we gambled and lost--except for Candace of course, pocketing a cool $5400 for her efforts. We had second row seats at Zumanity and laughed 'til it hurt. Then gambled some more. And food - ugh!! We ate so much food. We never made it to the pool, as planned. Sleep seemed more important in the daylight.

The fun fact here is that both my girlfriends are 6 foot tall, flat-footed. Put all three of us in heels and we are a force to be reckoned with. At one point, Gio looked up at all of us and said, "Man, I look like Joe Pesci standing next to you three!" He cracked us up!

Between constantly running late, the freaks in the club, some hilarious Blackjack dealers and Candace's occasional case of Turrets at the table, it was a memorable trip indeed, and we will definitely go back soon! What does that all mean?? Well, you know what they say, what happens in Vegas...
