Las Vegas

From the proving grounds of the fittest people on earth to the worlds biggest playground it was a huge change in culture when I arrived in Las Vegas after a long 7 hr greyhound bus ride. The hotel I was staying at was pretty seedy. The fact that I could drink my 3 massive budweiser cans in the line for check in was even seedier was also extremely convinient. The first night was spent with the boys from schwartzs crossfit in their hotel at a club called XS. Like nothing we have in Melbourne. Just being there was amazing. The drink prices were equally amazing but less fantastic. The night carried on until about 8am and as far as end locations and events in between.. "what happens in vegas...."

The second night was like an episode of entourage. We had our own table... 4 bottles of sky blue vodka.. our own bouncer who would only let those who we invited to our table and if we were sick of their company would tell them to leave. Our table had to be one of the best in vegas. On the rooftop of the caesars palace nightclub "pure" over looking the strip. The morning was not so glamourous.

After sleeping til 8pm it was time for our last night in Vegas. We got off to a slow start and it was 2am before we decided to move into a nightclub for the night. $40 entry for 2 hours of partying would sounds stupid in Melbourne. But Surrender was ridiculous. a massive pool surrounded by cabana lounges with its only little gaming room and another room filled with poles upon which various ladies took the opportunity to let loose. The last night ended at 7 30 for some and 9 30 for others.

I learnt a few things in vegas.. But at the end of the day it was pretty much just the Leon Robertson advice that rang true... "Don't trust anyone". Even if they convince you that they really want to go to the drive through wedding chapel with you later on.

Thats about it for the past few games. Back on the budget, healthy eating and training now for the next moneth whilst I travel to San Fran and Mexico. Looking forward to some peace and quiet after LA and Las Vegas being frantic cities.
