Had a great time in Las Vegas as always, ended up getting a smoking deal on a condo that had foreclosed. Already found a renter too, and have a buddy doing the property management. That is how you make money in a bad economy ;)
For some reason I never think of going online when waiting for my flight at McCarran International, hell I don't even know how good their wifi is. I'm always just so worn out from the desert dryness and nevada heat that I flop down at the gate and wait for the boarding call. Houston was it's usual self... It's really my home away from home, I'm there so much. We saw some Quakers or something walking around the terminal, that was kind of weird... Dude with a big bushy white beard and his son, both dressed in the same overalls with long sleeved collared shirts and these straw hats, and the mother and daughter both with braids in matching flowered ankle-length house dresses. Not something you see every day, I wonder how these trips into society corrupts the kids like that.
Flying Back To Las Vegas For Ten Days
I just can't stay away from this place! Just checked into the Venetian, which by the way is my favorite hotel in Vegas. It just seems like the service is so much better, and the rooms higher quality, while only being a bit more than the others... Plus you've got Caesers Forum Shops and Canal Shops nice and close for overpriced retail shopping (I like to browse and then buy my shit online haha).
Anyway it was a great travel day, flew Continental like always, took carry on luggage only, breezed through Customs nice and quick, had a great lunch at the Sky Box (they've changed their menu somewhat though and got rid of my favorite grilled chicken pesto panini, but have replaced it with a similar grilled chicken and cheese snadwich so I'll live). They were also out of Bass so I had a couple texas-sized Sam Adams instead.
Good friend of mine picked me up from McCarran, and we had pho at the vietnamese noodle place in Treasure Island... Sounds silly but after being in Costa Rica for so long I really miss stuff like pho.
It's gonna be a busy week, meeting up with a realtor tomorrow to look at foreclosures. Vegas' real estate market is plummeting and it's a good time for people with cash (ie. me) to buy!
