What happens in Vegas...Goes in the blog.

When we last left the adventure, Brad and Kirby were spending time together in the wonderful city of Flagstaff doing laundry and eating at Denny's. When they woke up in the morning, they decided to hit the road for Vegas.

The landscape was mostly desert and it was hot. Also there were some piles of rocks. Brad is driving through the desert when he realizes that we are low on gas. The GPS says that there are no gas stations in a sixty mile radius, so we keep driving and hope to make the next one in 34 miles. After passing through numerous construction zones, mountains and slow moving vehicles in the left lane, we run out of gas 1.6 miles from the gas station.
That is a picture of Brad walking to the gas station before he realized he left his phone and ran back to the car. He walked that far again before some guy in a convertible picked him up.

I got to sit in a hot car for a half hour and stare at this.

Brad made it back with gas and we were on the road again.

Eventually traffic slowed down. Way down.


We stopped at the Hoover Dam to do our part in the war on terrorism.


Damn, isn't it big?



This was the Great Row of Trash Cans.


I need a haircut.


Brad is making fun of some old person crossing the street.


We arrived in Vegas to the friendly face of Dan Whitmyer.


After gambling on a low tank of gas we decide to head out and gamble with money.
Here's a crappy pirate show outside of our hotel.


Here's the fountains outside of the Bellagio. OOHHHH! Water!



I was texting Jodye.


This guy was way more exciting.

We went to the Paris. It's one of my favorite casinos.


What did you do with the Eiffel Tower?
We put it in the desert in Nevada. We thought it really complimented the sand.



Brad traded his mouth for $523.15



We went to old Vegas where we all got lucky and also all lost money. Here's some lights on the ceiling to distract you while someone picks your pocket.














Dan Whitmyer recreated his facebook profile picture.
We didn't eat for 24 hours and then went to a buffet. Brad got egg on his shirt.




Brad was wearing jeans. Whitmyer stepped on them and ripped the bottom. Brad was upset.


Brad was so upset that he started walking through casinos like this.
That brings us to BRAD'S HOOK-UP OF THE NIGHT!
He was there greeting us at the door when we got to our hotel room, and he was still there in the morning. He even bought us breakfast. Dan Whitmyer. What a guy!



Next up, San Diego.
