After a few hours of driving through Utah, Arizona and Nevada, we arrived in Las Vegas. It was a lot smaller than we imagined but a lot tackier than we anticipated. Our first stop was Silver and Gold Pawn Shop from the show Pawn Stars. It was so crowded but they had some cool, really overpriced things.
Then we checked into our hotel, MGM Grand and walked around to see what was around. Then we went to lunch at our first stop from our Diners Drive-ins and Dives list, Four Kegs and we had some Stromboli.
At the Lion's Den in our hotel
Then we went back to our hotel to shower (after days!) and get ready to see Penn & Teller.
While on the shuttle ride over to Rio, our bus driver informed us that it had been confirmed that Osama Bin Laden was dead.
We loved the Penn & Teller show! They did a lot of magic and only some preaching. After the show, we got to meet Penn and Teller! Larry was so excited he really couldn’t contain himself. (I on the other hand acted completely normal ;)
Best. Friends. FOREVER.
After the show, we stopped at a Dueling Piano bar in Harrah's. We meant to only stop in but ended up staying for hours. They managed to combine two of my favorite things: Pianos and patriotic songs. It didn't really feel right drinking imported beer and singing Proud to be an American but we had the best time. Osama Bin Laden found his way into almost every song and at the end of most songs, the entire bar screamed: “USA! USA! USA!”
Today we finally get to California!
(I couldn't choose one song!)
