World Series of Beer Pong 5

There is a lot of land in Las Vegas (it's in the middle of the freakin' desert) but all of the tourist action is on The Strip. Since there is little room for expansion, they just build smart and build up. Such is the case of the MGM CityCenter, which you get a good look at here.

It was a rough morning today. I invited Brodey and Casey to our room to do an episode of the Pookcast to wrap up the 5th WSoBP. That can be found on Pookon's Ill Blog. After that we set out on a quest for the greatest burgers on the planet - In 'N' Out Burger. Getting there without a car proved to be quite an adventure as we had to take 2 buses and walk for a little bit. But we knew that it would be worth it just like it is every year. Nothing can stop me from going to In 'N' Out Burger when I am in Las Vegas. Not even the mother of all hangovers.

Those are the skyline towers of the New York New York Casino on the other side of the freeway, which hopefully gives you a good idea of how far we had to travel to get here. But it was all worth it, since I don't know when my next trip to In 'N' Out Burger will be.

There is an insane amount of traffic in Las Vegas. It's like the city grew too fast and they didn't plan for it so there aren't enough lanes to handle the increased vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Since people drive like maniacs, you always have to stay on your toes.

The best thing about In 'N' Out Burger is that they only have like five things on the real menu. But they do have a "secret" menu with additional options. I chose to get both my burger and fries done Animal Style - onions, melted cheese and extra sauce. Yummy.

Despite what it looks like, this a face of pure joy and happiness. You might say constipation or anger, but I assure you I was in good spirits. Who can be upset when they are about to shovel the greatest most delicious food in the world into their open mouth?

My friends are kind of new to In 'N' Out Burger, but they are hooked for life after just a few visits. How can you not love this place? It exemplifies everything that I love about America. Of course that's what the rest of the world hates most about us. As long as the terrorists don't start bombing fast food joints then I'll be ok. But if they do I'll be the first to enlist in the army to take those sons a bitches down.

By now I was just about ready to pass out. Too much drinking, not enough sleeping and greasy food in my tummy. Not a good combination if you want to stay awake. But I wouldn't have to stay awake too much longer because I soon would be back home in WI.
