Finding Fall - in Vegas?

So one of the best things about our trip to Vegas, is that the temperature was cool. This Houston heat does not play around. Like, we literally just opened our windows for the first time since April. No jokes.

But the thing is, apart from the cooler temperatures, you couldn't really tell that it was Autumn in Vegas. Because, there are only really palm trees - which obviously don't turn..

However, when we went exploring in Aria, a newer casino in the middle of the strip - we found fall. I guess they decided to bring Fall to the party people who never stepped outside. It sure was pretty.

Weird shit in Vegas

Here are 10 odd observations and things we saw in Vegas:
  1. Elvis on a motorized scooter.
  2. Zombie themed wedding chopper.
  3. Mike Tyson in a candy bar.
  4. People smoking in an elevator.
  5. A break dancing octogenarian.
  6. A stripper trying to distract guys from their poker game. Hilarious.
  7. An oxygen bar. Yep. I paid money to breathe pure oxygen to diminish a particularly cruel hangover.
  8. You can never be too dressed up or too casual in Vegas. We saw ladies in ball gowns walking past women in track pants.
  9. A man with a snake around his neck. Which makes me sad. I no like snakes yo.
  10. Oh, and Gene Simmons on a motorized scooter. Aging rockers everywhere.
Happy Wednesday! And remember, you are never weird until you are Vegas weird. 


Me breathing in oxygen. It was great.

Elvis isn't dead. He isn't too far from it though I would say.
