So, Vegas was awesome. Instead of outlining my trip in a narrative paragraph, I thought I would present you with a "top 20 Vegas observations list" :) 1 - Vegas is awesome, but is definitely not for everyone.
2 - The $1.99 shrimp cocktail at the Golden Gate is the best deal in Vegas.
3 - Casinos will take you a lot more seriously if you have an expensive cigar, but also carrying a 2 foot margarita kind of cancels that out.
4 - Roulette is the best casino game EVER (if you win).
5 - J.B. and slots do NOT get along, unless the slot machine is obnoxiously huge.
6 - Jay Leno is even more hilarious in person.
7 - Jimmy Buffett rules, but the Vegas Margaritaville kinda stinks (go to the Myrtle Beach one).
8 - Be prepared for extensive fighting and profanity in rooms next to yours.
9 - If you aren't into female "escorts" (ie., prostitutes), avoid the 10 thousand mexican guys handing out "literature" in front of EVERY CASINO.
10 - "The Deuce" is a GREAT idea.
11 - Video poker at the bar is NEVER a good idea.
12 - All fancy casinos look the same inside, and all the cheap ones look the same. See one, see 'em all.
13 - Cirque du Soleil's KA has the most incredible theater and stage. EVER.
14 - No matter what they try to sell you on, Vegas is NOT a place to take the kids.
15 - 70 degree weather in the middle of January = awesome.
16 - The casinos spend your money well - the resorts are absolutely incredible and huge.
17 - Get used to the "casino smell." With the exception of the Bellagio and the Venetian, they all smell the same.
18 - Many dealers don't have much of a sense of humor. I tried.
19 - Don't ever answer anyone who comes up to you and says "can I ask you a question?" Guess what.....you just did.
20 - There are slot machines waiting to greet you in the airport, and I won pretty well on one. (this is an exception to the earlier rule)
So, it was a lot of fun. 3 days was about the most we could take, and there are LOTS of things that we didn't do or see, so a return trip is a definite.

Yeah I mean I've actually been really doing well. I don't have a lot of knee pain or anything - I have an issue with my foot but I've had that for a while.
I do the heart rate monitor thing and I can usually burn at least 400calories between stretching, work out, cool down... etc.
I don't think you had as much of the issue, it's more about being able to do it for me :-)
