an example for las vegas prics. The cube on the left is arround 1 inch x 1 inch x 1 inch and was filled with ice cream. You also can say it was maybe 1 - 2 scoops of ice cream.

This little cube cost 10$, if I had this known before, I think I would have skipped on this. But so we got two of these and yes the ice cream was good, but not worth 20$ in my opinion...

...yay caesar palace is fun, but what you exspect from a hotel where the cheapest room cost 500$ a night?

two days ago we went to las vegas to check it out and figured, its a very nice place to be, but boy its expensive.

Lindsay's mum was so nice and paid for a very nice room in the luxor (picture to the left), so that we had once a nice hotel. i'm just always to cheap to pay 150$+ for a night for a hotel room (no breakfast or sood), motel 6 was always ok...

Food prices where interresting, the cheapest we got was some tacos for 10$ or a quesadia for 11$. This was our lunch...

For dinner we went to the luxor buffet, cause the steak resturante where I wanted togo was a little bit to pricey. I'm used to pay for a good ribeye or filet mignon arround 30$, but that sirloins are starting at 35$ and filet mignons arround 50$ was a little bit to steep for my wallet. The buffet was "only" 20$ a person and damn bad. At least we where full afterwards.

For a obvious reason we only spend a day in vegas, which means we where walking arround a lot (120 Fahrenheit/48 Celsius) cause we wanted to avoid traffic and some walking could be only good...

six hours later we where sitting in a corner, lindsay feets hurt and something was wrong with my hip, basically i'm still limping which is just rediculous. So we went back to our hotel, had dinner, dressed up and went back outside. Idea was to check out the club 'coyote ugly' which has quiete a good reputation. So we went there and had to bribe the bouncer to went in. Which was a waste of money, cause the club basically just sucked. imagine an empty room with a bar and 0 tables or chairs. So we left 2 minutes later and had some drinks in our hotel. The bar was nice and each drink was arround 12$, which was pricey but not too bad. We where supposed to had fun and we had. I was just disappointed that it is not lik you see in the good old movies (casino...)

To say short, if you see one casino, you saw them all. no free shows, the show we wanted to see was 85$ a person, so we passed on this. We both thought later that we maybe should have spent the money. But still its a rediculous ammount for the cheapest seats. We didn't even bothered to ask what the blue man group costs.

What else to say I drove back to davis today and only need 6.5 hours for the trip, new record and needed to stop 3 times to fill my tank up. Which is rediculous for a 400 mile drive. I think it was related to my average speed...
