>Here's my blow-by-blow summary.

>Wednesday: 5:00pm Pre-pre-dlv dinner Milano's

>Decent food, good turnout. Nice little place to eat. No booze, though.

>May 2 7:30pm Pre-DLV get-together LV Lounge

>OK at first, but I didn't care much for the loud music, the lap dancing
>sluts, and the drooling perverts who began to inhabit the place as soon
>as the dancing started. Might be OK during the day. We went to
>Goodtimes and had more fun there, played some pool and had a few drinks.
>A fish in the tank looked like it was dying, and we wondered if the huge
>fish in there or the catfish would eat him after he croaked.

>Thursday: 3:00pm Shopping, dinner, more shopping

>Went to the wig shop and took some pictures. Had a good time. Didn't
>care much for the lingerie shop, but there was a gun store next door and
>some of us went over there. Bought the Rocky Horror DVD at the mall,
>along with some silly hats and an American Gothic tie for Tony to wear
>to the Rocky Horror show.

>May 3 8:00pm Keys (piano bar) Keys Lounge

>Took the waiters totally by surprise. They hadn't expected such a
>crowd, but they did get someone over to serve us more quickly than I had
>expected. Food wasn't very good, and menu selection very limited.

>Friday: 10:00am Air tours Henderson Airport

>Met Gina at the airport. Her plane was over by the fuel tanks, so I
>walked over to get mine and put some gas in it. We decided on a radio
>channel to communicate between the planes. I had two passengers and
>Gina had three. She followed me off the runway and quickly overtook me
>(with some smartass comments about "going to guns") because her plane
>was more powerful than mine.

>We went low over the dam and I grabbed a couple of pictures out of the
>pilot's vent windows. We headed out over the Grand Canyon and it was
>really fantastic! Gina suggested heading a little further south and
>east and then coming back up to the north, which gave us a spectacular
>view. Took more pictures.

>Came back over Dutchman Pass and the golf course and landed at
>Henderson. Gina was there already and Tony hadn't gotten to ride yet,
>plus we had one more passenger, so the four of us went up in Gina's
>plane. It was another great ride.

>May 4 1:00pm Matinee movie Location TBA

>Huh? :)

>Went to lunch at Bellagio's buffet, which is a little more expensive
>than other buffets, but well worth it. Tried a lot of foods I'd never
>had before, and got totally stuffed.

> 5:00pm Dinner Sahara Buffet

>Annie called us up and said that it was time to go to the buffet. That
>was the last thing in the world I needed! I think we went down and
>played some video poker instead.

> 7:30pm Welcome gathering Goodtimes

>Duh...I think I went to this.

>Brain was getting a little fuzzy at this point, but I seem to recall
>checking on the fish in the tank and being surprised to see that he was
>still alive.

> 11:00pm Dance Night Gipsy, et. al.

>ZZzzzzzz

> 2:00am Sat Late Night Gaming Imperial Palace

>Zzzzzzzzz

>Saturday: 12:00n Shopping and Hopping Start at Paris

>Went to a gun show that morning. Called Annie from Paris and we were
>going to meet there for the shopping, but I was feeling kind of sick and
>we had to get something to eat. It took over an hour to do this, and by
>then Annie was gone.

>We walked over to Treasure Island to see the show, but it didn't start
>until 4pm, so we missed it. For some strange reason, we decided to walk
>back to the Sahara, a total hike of a few miles, I would guess. I was
>wearing sandals, and by the time I made it back, my toes were cut open
>and my ankles were swollen up.

>May 5 8:30pm Kenny Kerr And Friends Frontier

>Good show. I thought it was going to suck at first, but it got good
>later on. Could use more performers. Frank Marino was a much bigger
>production. No drinks served at the show, which was kind of a drag, no
>pun intended.

> Midnite Rocky Horror Picture Show Paradise 6

>Usually a good time and once was the height of my trip, but this year it
>sucked. Some young kid who was playing emcee and another one in the
>audience with blue hair were trying to put on their own performance. One
>fight broke out in the aisle. Don (Riff-Raff) Peppers was not there,
>and the lady who plays Frank did Janet instead. The replacement Frank
>had much less charisma.

>We did have an insteresting experience on the way out of the hotel, I
>wearing a viking helmet and Tony wearing a silly hat (we had hoped to
>hand some condoms on them, but nobody threw any). Someone remarked that
>we looked like a horny couple.

>May 6 1:00pm Dam tour

>We got up and went to Champagne Brunch at the Sahara, which was great.
>After about five glasses of champagne, I wasn't in nearly so much pain,
>and we felt like going to the dam tour.

>We had to wait for one person, and so we spent a lot of time outside of
>Margeth's 7-11. My feet and ankles started hurting again, but I had a
>good time on the tour. Bob answered a lot of questions for me.

> 10:00pm Folies Bergere Tropicana

>Didn't go. Couldn't afford it.

> 11:30pm Limo Tour of Strip Tropicana entrance

>Great fun! It took us all of the first hour just to get some
>booze into the car, but then we went to the Del-Mar and it all got
>started. We posed in front of the "adult movies" and "pool closed" signs.
>The manager was totally freaked out by our presence and turned out the
>lights in the office and hid.

>On to the Four Queens, where Four Queens
>posed under the Four Queens sign. A group of spectators walked by, got
>the joke, and roared with laughter. A wino came onto the scene and posed
>with us for a few pictures, making the statement that we were crazier than
>he was.

>He didn't want me because I was wearing glasses, but he found Annie to
>be dead sexy! I have no idea whether Annie circled back and took him to
>the Del-Mar or not.

(Editor's note: She went back to the limo to get her glasses. :)

>We cut the tour a little short and got let off at our hotel because my
>ankles were baseball-sized by then. I couldn't even wear shoes, and had
>been running around barefoot in front of the Four Queens.

>Monday: 10:00am Side trip - Rhyolite

>Tony and I were supposed to do the golf, but I couldn't even stand up
>that morning. Tony did golf and I stayed in bed. I talked to Annie
>about maybe going to Rhyolite, but that trip was cancelled so I went
>back to bed. I got up later feeling depressed and went down to the
>casino to play some VP, then had dinner with Annie at the Sahara Buffet.
>At least I could walk by then.

>May 7 8:00pm Farewell get-together LV Lounge

>We didn't stay too long. Went back to the Sahara and gambled, then had
>a late breakfast.

>May 8 Star Trek: The Experience

>Went to this with Annie and Tony, although it hadn't been on the
>schedule. I thought it was a little overpriced for the shortness of the
>ride, but Tony enjoyed the museum and would like to see it again. At
>the gift shop, we picked up a video of a Star Trek episode called "The
>Lights of Zetar" which had scared us both out of our wits when we were
>kids.

>And that was about it...Annie gave us a ride back to Henderson and we
>took off into the sunset. Tony flew back and got to log some night
>time, which is good because he's about ready to take his private pilot
>check ride.

>Look forward to doing it all next year, although we may bring the boat
>instead of the plane.

>-Denise
