Fun, fun and witty..... in the land of sin city

Whew – drove up on Thursday with one sister and her family. We stopped at the London Bridge in Lake Havasu Arizona and then I got to see the Hoover dam – that was cool except my sister doing damn dam jokes the entire time – lol

Got to Vegas late and after checking into the Stratosphere we headed out to hit the Sahara Buffet - it was interesting walking to the casino for dinner. It is only asbout two blocks from hotel but the Strato is on the very very end of the strip so we saw a lot of interesting things in that short walk. First we had three young boys ages 3 – 9 and there are all these girlie magazines and these like, um, Hooker Ho trading cards (they are like baseball cards in size and are stiff like playing cards. They have pictures of women in NC17 poses and positions with phone numbers for a good time call type thing – ads for services) well these are EVERYWHERE

100s just on the ground, sticking in newsstands, at bus stops, anywhere they could be stuck they were sticked. So trying to keep these young boys moving – lol

then add in some homeless people bothering people and a crackhead yelling at everyone while walking in middle of road and two homeless people yelling across our group at each other as we waited for the longest red light in the world to change – lol and it was FUNNNNNN – well for me not my sister – lol

The buffet was good and then we headed back to hotel where sister's boyfriend watched the three kids so she and I could go to this one lounge in the hotel. They had live music – the band was awesome playing Motown to some current stuff (Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Barry White, Gloria Estefan, Santana, Ricky Martin and more).

The one male singer kept walking in the audience and made my sister sing "What's Going On" with him – she died..... I laughed my ass off for a very a long time... still am - started humming the song today just to tease....

Then these two guys come in – one looks like a Hulk Hogan blonde biker complete with a flag bandana over his head and the other was prolly in 50s as had short hair cut mostly grey. The second gut was like really drunk – he was also very loud and having a GAY ole time and I do mean gay… he talked a lot to my sister and was talking to the band's lead male singer (the band had both male and female which was cool). The guy also thought the guitar player was singing only to him which was a hoot – he also kept trying to dance and I do mean trying – he was having fun though and that is what counts!

Friday walked around the strip some while my sister and her family went swimming (I did not bring my suit) and then we went up to the top of the Stratosphere about 110 levels up – it has an observation deck and that was cool.

Then we went to the Hilton and ate at Quarks and looked at the Star Trek exhibit – did not do the rides, I'll do those next time – trying to spend time with family.

Then my other two sisters got to town and the crap began. We went to the Westward ho where I am staying and checked in. Then walked down to Caesars trying to meet my other sister. Was having trouble finding them sister with her family (the other two did not bring their kids – just husband for one and the other's boyfriend). Well was not connecting with the one sister so we stopped in this seahorse lounge and while my one sister and her boyfriend gets a bunch of drinks we wait to connect with other sister.

It was funny – I ordered a bottle of water from the bar thinking I'd get a regular bottle of water and such. They bring this big looks like a can of hairspray bottle and charge us 5 bucks for it – it was a glass bottle with water from Norway – lol But finally we are going to meet the other sister and that is when things get really tense….

Two of my sisters are fighting bigtime. But sister one said fine I will hang with sister two. Well sister two is the drama queen and the ME WANT ATTENTION and all that shit. So then she starts making with the playact and this and that. We started walking trying to find a place to eat.

We went into one casino but did not like the places to eat. Instead of trying to stick with us and work it out – drama queen sister says she and boyfriend are going can not take it and so they leave.

The rest of us ended up at the Stardust and had a nice meal. Unfortunately my third sister who is also pregnant gets stuck in middle and starts crying all the time because she hated them fighting. But for once we did not give other sister attention so hopefully tomorrow will be better.

I promised drama queen sister I would go to Coyote Ugly with her (she drinks and clubs wayyyy tooooo much) but that is what she wanted to do with me…. Should be fun, I hope.

But plan on hitting other end of strip during day - staying inside a lot it has been up to 120 here plus humid.

So enjoying the city some – even with all the drama, intrigue, and people – OMG I love watching the people – this is a people watching city and I am loving it - lol
