A Virgin Vodka Martini Shaken, not stirred

I asked for one in Vegas and the waiter was like, so you want me to shake some crushed ice? Then dad said I should order something real meaning shut up and get a real drink. Vegas was cool, especially since I lost 5 pounds from all the walking and pushing my 82 year old grandma around in a wheelchair and despite all the eating. On Wednesday, we had an hour delay because our pilot doesn't know basic gallon to pounds conversion and he can't allign mirrors, so we got into Vegas an hour late and had to go straight to the new Wynn hotel, which was really nice looking to see this Le Reve show. It was like a Cirque du Soleil kind of thing meaning it was acrobats and junk diving into water all cool-like. There were the four suit comic relief guys too that were boring and at one point we had to see them in G-strings, very un fun that was. At one point there were these guys like breakdancing in skirts and this one guy comes out to join them for his solo. I noticed this guy was wierd because he wasn't crazyily muscly like every other guy and he had manboobs flopping everywhere. Then I realized that that was a topless lady breakdancing. About all I had to say was "Well I didn't see that one coming." On Thursday, we ate at this buffet called Pharao's Pheast in Luxor that is really good. Then we went swimming for a long time. Then me and my dad took my mom and sister and aunt and grandma to their Celine Dion concert, which was the reason we went, so grandma could see Celine Dion. Me and my dad went over to the Flamingo hotel to see Second City, which is the show that inspired Saturday Night Live. It was pretty much SNL, but they swear. A lot. It was really good and we just went back to the hotel after that. By the way, don't stay at Mandalay Bay because it is on the southernmost point of the strip and it was annoying. Despite being a nice hotel. We like the areas around Paris, Bellagio, and those near the middle. They are better. So on Friday, we hung out again and saw the M&M and Coke stores and I got a Coke clock for the computer room I spend all my time in (this room I'm in now). Later in the day, we all went to see this show at the Wynn that was supposed to be really good called Avenue Q. It was a musical comedy from Broadway that talks about and makes fun of things like gay people, internet porn, and things like that. It was so funny. If you get the chance to see it you definately should. On saturday, we ate at this place called Red, White and Blue, which reeked of fish and the food was bad. After that, our flight out to Seattle had a 15 minute delay getting started, but we got a good tailwind and got in 15 minutes early. That night, I caught up with Survivor and Amazing Race, then Steven and I played Starcraft until midnight, when we were joined by Peter, then we played until 1. I did at least they might have gone longer. Ok, now Steven just signed on and I want to play SC, but I need to practice my horn first so I'll do that then SC. I will get pictures up too.
