World Series of Beer Pong 3 - Vegas Round 3 |
We caught the tail end of one of the fountain shows, so we grabbed a front row seat and stuck around for the next one. I would've split, cause I've seen this display more than any man should, but I stuck with my friends because they needed me. After the show, we then separated as Kanz and I went over towards the New York New York to meet up with Hummel and Sara. We stopped at the Monte Carlo, where I pointed to a naked statue of some chick. You could see her boobs. And they call this a family town. |
I could've guessed that these folks would go out to the strip with me, but I didn't have to guess because I knew it. Brodey drinks too much, Balkman hates Las Vegas, and Casey was sleeping. Christian was gambling, Katie J was hanging out and Hummel + Sara were meeting up with us later. And that leaves these people to stand there and look like tourists. Some real winners here. |
I was finally able to convince some people to go out to the strip with me, and of course, they all wanted to go to the Bellagio to check out the fountains. Normally I'd laugh at them for being stereotypical tourists, but you've already seen that is is far from my first time here this week. Although I do enjoy laughing at myself, I'm not that big of an asshole to laugh at my friends. So we stood in front of the fountains, and I turned my back upon them because I no longer needed to see them in action to believe that they are in fact there. |
This casino nestled in the construction of the MGM City Center behind us was called the Jockey Club. Kanz and I immediately started making jokes, saying that there was a height restriction to enter the casino (which Kanz demonstrates in this picture) and that there was no betting on horse races because it's conflict of interest. Those guys are as small as possible without being midgets. |
I decided to check out the Monte Carlo because it is one of the least expensive 4 star properties in the strip. I figured that there had to be a reason why. When I went inside I found out that it was because there was nothing really special about it. Sure, the architecture inside it was really nice (it was modeled to mimic European elegance) but there was nothing about it that stood out. The main reason that I went there was to check out the Monte Carlo Brew Pub, which was the only micro brewery on the strip. I found out when I got there that they haven't brewed beer there since late 2006. Bummer. They did have these cylindrical tubes that contained like 3-4 pitchers of beer, but they wouldn't let just one person buy one. I told the bartender him that I was from Wisconsin and that I could handle it, but he said that he wasn't legally allowed to serve it to one person. I could have lied to him and told him that it was for all 4 of us (Kanz, Hummel and Sara) and then just taken it down myself, but I didn't feel like sticking around there because the place sucked. And all I wanted was some local beer. What a letdown. |
