Vegas baby?

I'm rapidly approaching my vacation and I still don't have any plans set in stone yet. It was going to be a trip to Manchester, TN to experience Bonnaroo. Well, it looks like those plans are going to fall through as most of my friends that once said they were going have fell victim to the common sickness called "Pussus Whoopus", commonly known as "Pussy Whooped". Looks like I'll be going to the All Good music festival instead.

I have since moved my vaction to a more standard Mon-Friday vacation. My vacation starts on June 16 and ends June 20. But what oh what am I going to do? I really have no clue.

There's always fishing. It's the standby. I love fishing, but I want to do something different this year. Bonnaroo was my different thing to do this year. So now what?

Here are some contemplative ideas:

- Say fuck it and go to Bonnaroo solo (very doubtful, but intriguing)

- Hit the Shenendoah River and enjoy that area for a few days.

- Hit Stonewall Jackson lake and keep things a little closer to home.

- Book a trip to Vegas and check out some ofthe WSOP madness.

- Take a 12 hour road trip to Atlantic City.

Out of those few items, the Vegas trip sounds most appealing. I've never been to Vegas. It's on my list of "Places to see". I'm looking for something different and Vegas is about as different as you can possibly get.

It would kind of suck going to Vegas alone, but I'm sure there will be plenty of blogging brethren to hook up with. I'm not much of a partier. I don't drink and I'm not interested in the night clubs. However, I wouldn't pass up a 4:20 smoke break with Pauly and Change100 if invited there though ;).

My whole thing with Vegas is that I just want to check out the Casinos and play some live poker. Especially during the WSOp where the trout ponds are stocked with retarded fish. Next in line is the food. I want to try out some of the good food Vegas has to offer. I'm a redneck in the woods surrounded by 2 McDonalds, 2 Wendys, 2 Hardees, a Taco Bell, and 5 strip clubs. It's bad when I have more of a selection of where I want to see naked meth addicts than where I want to eat.

I'm going to start pricing out the trip now. I don't have a load of money to blow in Vegas on Hookers and Blow, but I might be able to put something together. If any of you Vegas veterans out there want to give me some pointers as to where to find the best deals on plane ticket and/or room, I'd be much obliged. I'd most likely either be flying out of Charlotte, NC, but there's a possibility I could fly out of Greensboro, NC.
