What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas, but here are some points I thought I'd mention. This trip included Jon, Allan, Justin, KennyG and I, and we stayed at the Mirage hotel.

Outcome: First off, did we take down the house M.I.T. style, or did Sin City claim the money of five more over confident visitors? Well, none of us made any money this trip. My original goal was to pay for the entire trip, and come up $200. Instead, I lost about $170. But, thanks to KennyG, the four of us got bumped up to first class and got a free round trip ticket with North West Airlines valued at about $200. So, in my opinion, I'm actually up about $30.

Flying First Class: We're number one!! On our flight to vegas, they overbooked the flight, and so were looking for volunteers to take a later flight. In order to compensate for the delayed flight, the four of us got bumped up to first class, as well as recieving a free round trip ticket with North West. We got delayed about three hours, but I think it was worth it. Classic moment on the plane. We sit down in our first class seats. The stewardess asks us right when we board the plane if we'd like anything to drink. KennyG replies with "Could I get a glass of champagne?" Right away KennyG is taking advantage of the first class. KennyG gets shot down and the stewardess replies back "I'm sorry, we don't carry champagne on the plane" and offers white wine instead. Classic KennyG!

Food: Despite what people may say, the food isn't very cheap in Vegas. We paid $20 for our buffet, which isn't really cheap. True, the food was really good for a buffet, but food everywhere was pretty pricey and I didn't have much food to eat. I complain a lot when I'm hungry, and you can ask Jon that I was complaining about being hungry just about the entire trip, even right after our meals cuz the portions were too small and I didn't want to pay for extra food.

Pool Side: Most mornings we woke up bright and early and hit the pool. Mirage had one of the nicest pools on the strip, so we took advantage most morning with a dip in the pool and spending some time tanning. What a relaxing way to start the day. We got some awsome pics with Justin's underwater camera, which I'll post up whenever everyone sends me their pics.

Cirque Du Soleil: The only show we saw in vegas was Cirque Du Soleil, Mystere. Like pretty much everyone who's seen the show, I thought it was a really amazing show. There's just so much going on sometimes, it's hard to focus on any one thing. The acrobatics is unbelievable, and the costumes/music/lighting and everything else is just amazing. It's the kind of show where you just sit back, relax, and just let the show wash over you like warm water.

Gun Shop: It's so much easier purchasing/using guns in the States than it is in Canada, so we took the chance in Vegas to try out some firearms. Jon, Allan, and Justin tried using a semi-automatic, while KennyG and I tried a 40 caliber pistol. Maybe I'm a bit of a gun wuss here, but I was kind of nervous when I first picked up that gun. Just the thought that if I made a mistake I might accidentally shoot/kill someone kind of scared me. Once I fired my first shot, and kind of got the feel, it was a lot of fun and really exciting. Also got some pics from the gun shop, which I'll post up later, but after the visit, I can see why Americans love their guns. It was really quite the experience.
