World Series of Beer Pong 6 - Downtown

 

 

As long as we were downtown we decided to check out the Golden Nugget, which is the most classy of all the Downtown Casino Hotels. The Downtown hotels lack the spectacle and grandiose nature of the places on the Strip, but they retain the glitz and glamour of the good old days. Most of the places seem stuck in the 60's but the Golden Nugget, while retaining that look on its' facade has all sorts of modern amenities inside of the building. One of those things was the pool area which has a slide going through an aquarium. It was too cold to use the pool and I wanted to jump in the hot tub, but I didn't have my swim suit so instead I hit on this middle aged lady by the fire pit and made her companion jealous. Sorry pal, but ladies love the Ice. I've spent a lifetime trying to fend them off but instead I have chosen to just accept it and be surrounded by them.

This day was so filled with activities that I had to split it up into three different sections, so it was no surprise that by the end of it I was going crazy. Being constantly drunk for well over 12 hours will do that to you. Only now do I wonder at my old age how I have the energy to to go wild in Las Vegas and still come back home in one piece. It's amazing.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gordie Brown is an entertainer that plats at the Golden Nugget. From reading our dinner placemats I found out that he does music, comedy and impressions. I almost wanted to go see him, but only if he looked like he did in this pictures where we defaced his image. I doubt that he looks like a devil or cat man, so I won't be checking out his show any time soon. He wasn't playing tonight, I was out of money, drunk off my ass and tired.

I used to hate Las Vegas because of all the bad things happening here, but now I realize that this is the only place where stuff like this happens. Much like my picture with Elmo and Mickey Mouse earlier in the week, this one with Oscar the Grouch, Elmo and Cookie Monster was totally unexpected and one of my favorites of the week.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

While I was outside drunkenly flirting with middle aged out of towners, Hummel and Sara were inside doing the sensible thing - ordering some food. I don't remember them drinking at all that night but then again I don't remember much of anything. Plus I also drank enough booze to compensate for everyone else. So if they were sober it was probably a good thing. But sober people still get hungry so we sat down at this restaurant at the Golden Nugget and colored on our menus like a couple of kids. It was a great way to close out a very good day in Las Vegas.

When I regained consciousness in the morning Hummel and I grabbed a beer from the Sin City Brewing Company (which provided the beer for WSoBP II, which was the last time we played together as Hummel that Shit!) and sat outside to recap Day 2. I'm surprised that I was able to remember any of it, but then again it was the next morning as opposed to 11 months later like it is right now. Those blogs I wrote and videos I filmed are great because they capture my fairly immediate response to a moment in time. Once I've had time to think about it I tend to analyze everything and my opinions are skewed from what has happened since then. So make sure you check out Pookon's Ill Blog.
