Cinco de mayo Vegas style plus Hoover dam

Friday we went to the Hoover dam and took a tour. Very impressive. Then that evening it was cinco de mayo so what better place to spend it then Freemont St. in Vegas. That place is crazy enough but cinco de mayo really brought out the kooks as you can see from the pics. We started with margaritas at an outside bar people watching then walked around. They even have a zip line that you fly over the crowds head. We considered it but Jamie didn’t think her mini skirt was the best attire for that. After we got our fill of people watching we went to dinner at Vic and Anthony’s, a very good steakhouse at the Golden Nugget. By that time jetlag had caught up with Jamie and it was time to call it a night.

Saturday was spent getting ready for our Hawaii trip. But first a follow up in regard to our 4/29 strange happenings post.

I got home Wednesday and spent the night alone. Jamie got home Thursday. No repeat of the events from the previous week. Until Saturday night. At 11:30 pm I was half asleep and I heard Jamie get out of bed and heard a thump I assumed was her. Next thing I know she’s yelling oh my God and leaping practically on top of me back in bed. I’m wondering what she’s doing and she says it was the thumping again. I said are you sure it wasn’t just your feet hitting the floor and she says no way. So we go to bed and at about 1:30 she leaps up again yelling about the noise. I didn’t hear that one either. But at 3:00, just after our alarm went off (we were catching an early flight to Hawaii) we both heard it again. This is really getting annoying. It’s now Sunday morning and we’re off to Hawaii. Funny how both times it happened was the night before we were leaving to go away. Guess we’ll see what happens when we get back.

Now that’s a good bar name
The heart attack grill. Serving giant burgers. I didn’t qualify for a free meal, yet.

They really do have wine in IV bags
You have to dress up like a patient. The waitresses dress up like nurses. You get punished with a paddle if you don’t finish your meal.
