So I never actually wrote a post about going to Las Vegas for NYE 2010 like I said I would. But I was caught up with work at the time--and besides….what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas…..except the stuff I post on here……..
So here is a little more, including the opening video from the JM3 concert--complete with a Bob Saget intro--which was an awesome way to kick 2009 the fuck out.
The Trip
The drive from Boulder, CO to Vegas was a killer 12+ hour journey through a few sets of mountains and a whole lot of snow. But it was with good company so the time flew by.

So after a half a day of driving to Sin City, we finally got to……sit in traffic on the strip…..
But we made it to the Planet Hollywood garage…..note to file: they have $10 roulette tables at all times….it’s a good starting point….
We gambled away money night one, crashed on a friends couch, ate some Dennys, and went right back to PH for round 2.

Then we hit the strip to check out some more places that would be willing to lighten our pockets….

When it comes down to it, Lost Wages Las Vegas is the sort of place that requires:

The Concert
Honestly, I didn’t know much about John Mayer or his music before 2009. But I discovered, and grew to love, pretty much all of the music he makes. But the John Mayer Trio may be some of the greatest stuff out there. Simple in its 3 parts, bluesy in its roots, it’s a group of people that seem like they have a lot of fun on stage together. And The Joint at the Hard Rock Casino provided a great venue to take it all in.
And the best part is……I’m going back in May for a Bachelor party…..so…..to be continued….
attending bachelor parties is kind of my hobb these days, i like parties and drinking too ..
