Our first night in Vegas

"I was right in the middle of a fucking reptile zoo" - Hunter S Thompson

We arrived in Vegas just after sunset and it truly was an interesting experience, we weren't under the influence of LSD and ether like Thompson but it still felt like some kind of weird trip walking through the Casino floor seeing all of the weirdest examples of Americans waddling around whooping like cowboys and riding mechanical bulls in our hotel casino and bar. We didn't get a room upgrade but we did score a free bottle of champagne for being on our honeymoon which was a good start to the onslaught of free drinks we were given, about that - if you want to go out in Vegas without bankrupting yourself, play penny slots. 1 cent a spin and a waitress will be around every 10 minutes with any cocktail or drink you could ever want. They make them strong too since they want you to get drunk and gamble all your money away. We spent 2 dollars on the slot machine and won 30 almost immediately! Deciding to quit while we were ahead we only played the 1 cent slots for the rest of the evening meaning we probably spent 3 or 4 dollars visiting all of the flashy casinos drinking crazy cocktails until 4 in the morning! The casinos have crazy architecture and things inside like an enormous shark tank or full size replica of the trevi fountain or a 1/3 scale model of the Eiffel tower

Once it gets late on the strip all of the even stranger people start to emerge in the casinos which Seamus quickly made friends with! After we could barely stand from tiredness and the horrifying mixture of cocktails we went and had fast food, there must have been something in the drinks because we managed to have an argument over a cheeseburger that left Seamus in tears :D we quickly recovered and passed out for a lovely 3 hours of sleepRead more
