"We can't put the baby in the bathroom..."

 The last time we went to Vegas was when Finn was two. He was in a stroller.  After us walking around a while, he fell asleep. Tosh then loaded him into the carseat.  I parked the stroller and got in.   Tosh gets in the car.  We drive off and some guy is screaming and waving his arms after us.  We are like, "Oh silly drunks..."  Finally we stop as he is running and screaming like mad.   I forgot to tell Tosh the stroller was behind the car.   So he backed into it and sent it flying down the parking garage.   Poor guy in parking garage thought a baby was IN the stroller.   The funniest part is that  after we tell him "Oh nope..silly us baby is fine.." and drive off, we realize how "no big deal" we handled it and this guy was mortified. He was breathing heavy. He was shaking.  We were pretty much like "Nope. Ship Shape."  and didn't even really validate his horror.   We still laugh at how bad we must have looked like we were drunk or careless.

The last time we were there we stayed in some bizarre hotel way off the strip and paid an exorbitant amount of money because it was the weekend of the Billboard Music Awards.   Flash forward two years...

 Oh, that is just THE red carpet being rolled out for us...er no...for the Billboard Music Awards.

 Somehow we actually got a room at the MGM (Signature) where the awards were going to be two nights later.   I was so excited at the possibility of seeing someone whose music I don't like that I could hardly contain myself (this is not sarcasm). I heard a girl talking about seeing J Lo and I about died...

 I got to sneak off one morning while Tosh took Finn to the pool.   I put in my money and within about three minutes...

 I was up $25, so I was done with slots.  I decided that I should take my gambling allowance and go.  It was probably 9 a.m. and I was on the prowl for stars.   No dice.  Just old ladies.   But I did spot a crazy shirt...

and decided to take a chance on it.   It is insane.  It verges on costume and I love it. It makes me want to go to New York again.   I have absolutely nowhere to wear this to, but it beat feeding my money to a slot machine.  So next time a girl friend invites me to go eat, I am wearing my new shirt. 

At check-out time we thought driving all day sounded like a drag.   So we decided to try for one more day.  Finn was loving it, so why not?  Getting a room proved to be difficult. We ended up getting one at Bally's.  Tosh and I both HATE Bally's, so it was funny that that happened to be one of the only rooms in town.   After staying there, we still HATE Bally's.   

We went downtown for the afternoon...

This picture cracks me up. It is funny to see him strutting it through downtown.

  The quote from the Hangover, "We can't put the baby in the bathroom, there is a tiger in the bathroom." played through my head the entire time we were there.

We ate in the Golden Nugget because someone said Finn would like this restaurant with the fish tank...

   And he did.  I was feeling adventurous so I ordered a lobster sandwich.   You really have to like lobster and I don't think I do!  Divers came to clean the tank.   One came to the window pointed at Finn, then at me and did a hand gesture for camera...

 Sorry so blurry.  He was moving...

 The other people in there got a kick out of Finn and the diver...

Vegas was eventful.  More to come...
