Back from Las Vegas

Hello everyone! We're back from Las Vegas! That's why we haven't posted or replied back to anyone in the past week. I had an accounting conference to attend and since my plane ticket and hotel room was going to be paid by my company, Pajjar wanted to come along too! Which was totally cool with me, I would of missed her and with her in Vegas w/ me, it guaranteed that I would have more fun.

I had seminars and workshops to attend everyday from 8 to 5 but afterwards, it was nothing but sightseeing and lots of eating!

We didn't gamble much, we played $14 in slots and won $25.05. At least we didn't lose any money! I really wanted to play Blackjack but most places had a minimum of $10 per hand! $10 TO PLAY A HAND OF BLACKJACK! THAT'S CRAZY EXPENSIVE! There were also a bunch of poker tournaments going on and I was really tempted to try! I'm not great at poker because I'm impatient but I still really wanted to try. It was $25 to buy in with four rounds at 50 minutes per round. Highest two chip counts per table would move on the next round. The top 10% get money depending on how many people sign up. There were also some other crazy poker tournaments going on like $500 to play, winner gets $500,000! These tournaments started practically every hour all along the strip. It was pretty cool!

Here are some pictures!

A Lizard Man that I painted for my brother-in-law Taying. We went to the Source a week before Pajjar and I left for Vegas and he really wanted a Lizard Man, so I bought it, smoothed it, washed it, assembled it, primed it, and painted it.

Me eating a hot dog the width of my chest.

Me looking at a Pegasus.

Me looking at a Trojan horse.

Pajjar holding an Ugly Dolls hand. The Ugly Doll is standing in a bucket of ice, that's why it has a funny face.

Us at the Venetian!

Today's the M10 Pre-Release but I can't make it. I'm going to a picnic instead, but it's cool! Have a great weekend everybody!
