Today was the last day for all of the girls that came for Colleens bachlorette party, so everyone was getting ready to head back to their homes. Some of the crew were looking pretty rough from the night before and in immediate need of hangover curing greasy food, so we headed to a restaurant called Dicks in the Excalibur. The restaurant is supposed to be famous for having terrible service. The waiters take your order and try to make fun of you by saying stupid things, so I was worried that my friends were going to not take it so well in their hungover state. Fortunately, we learned that the restuarant doesn't start doing the whole "rude service" bit until later in the afternoon so we were safe.
After we had all eaten we went back to our room and started in on one of the great "hangover" gossip sessions that used to make every drunken night worth it the next day. It felt just like old times as everyone lounged around telling old stories and making fun of one another.
After the hangover session was complete and everyone was heading home, YB and I headed out to explore the Vegas Strip despite the heat.

We basically just walked around and saw the sites, but then decided we were going to do a little gambling. I always try to go down to the center of the strip near places like the Riviera because they are so much cheaper than the other hotels for drinks and food. Once we started on the slots we found a really fun game we both loved! It was actually called "Get Hooked", but we called it"Catch the Big One" since it is a fishing game that lets you do a bonus round where you catch the fish on the screen above. That day we got really lucky and I ended up winning over $70 on the game, which led us to be addicted to that game for the rest of the trip!

After we had our fun gambling, we continued to walk all the way to the end of the strip in search of a cheap dinner. I think we ended up at Circus Circus or somewhere close by that had $10 steak and shrimp. YB was in love!

Time flew by, and we thought it was around 10 pm when we made it back to the Excalibur, but it was nearly 1am. Oh Vegas, how I love you! Normally, I wouldn't call 1am a night in Vegas but we had to be up at 5 to get ready to head to the Grand Canyon. Good night Vegas!
