The Four Things That JP Learned on His Vacation to Las Vegas

Perfect example is this GIANT video screen used in the sports betting area of the...I want to say Bellagio? It's hard for me to remember, I didn't take very many photos during this trip and the few that I did were random.

I'm pretty sure that Las Vegas does this to distract us from realizing just how much money they're making off of us EVERY second!

This isn't really a big secret or anything. But I wasn't aware of just how expensive Las Vegas can be if you've got the money to blow. I got talked into going to the club 'ACT' at the Venetian. We had gotten a "really good deal" on bottle service.

It turns out that 'deal' amounted to about $800 (not including tip) for three bottles of mid-level vodka.

Ouch.

And this picture is proof of that.

*They informed that, while they would like to honor my requests, they were unable to provide me with an Elton John impersonator to play piano while I sat in a bathtub of Vodka.

So it turns out there is a reason while almost every rap video ever made features everyone hanging in the VIP lounges of clubs. It's REALLY freaking cool! You're treated like royalty, and there are attendants just standing there waiting for you to need something.

Of course there is a huge trade off for this special attention. The bill, oh my...THE BILL!! We consumed three standard sized bottles of alcohol and our final bill was over $1,000. Needless to say that sobered everyone up pretty damn quickly.
