Las Vegas

the ride into vegas was interesting
i saw a sign that said no services for 50 miles
then 10 miles later another that said no services for 50 miles
i stopped at that one
which was a mistake for gas it was 40 cents more than it would have been in vegas
and i had enough to get there but
you dont want to make a mistake in the desert
however that exit happened to be route 66
so now i can say i took a dump on route 66

about an hour from vegas
i was exhausted
but there was nowhere to stop
not even a rest stop

thought about stopping at the hoover dam to sleep
but i figure they are tough on security there
once i got to boulder city
there was supposed to be a rest stop
but the construction kept me from it

finally pulled over to a mcdonalds
and rested for 15 minutes

the traffic in vegas was insane
i got there around midnight

my hotel is the palms
but my reservations are for sun and mon

i parked in the palms parking garage
found a spot in the corner overlooking the city
a light was burned out overhead

i set everything up and went in the hotel

madness
i forgot mayweather fought that night
and i would find out late diddy had his after party
at the rain bar

i did a lap
thought i am out of my element
got back to my car to try to sleep

it was the best tent i had made
but i made it too well
it was stifiling hot
even with the fan on my stomach
it was brutal
i had all four windows opened at the top

eventaully i had to ditch the tent
to get some air

drunks and car alarms kept me from sleeping well
fell asleep eventually but was woke up after 3
the party people cleared out
and the parking garage cleaners were blasting shitty music

put my contacts in and drove off
found a walmart
there were no campers and i had read
overnight were not welcomed
but it was a 24
so i parked in the middle row midway down
didnt bother with the tent
rolled the back windows down a quarter way
and tried to angle the pillow to avoid the light

slept until 630
then got up and checked out the potential browns backer bars
the first was in a strip mall across from a casino
no internet
no big screen
there was strippers in there eating breakfast

the second one was called kooper keg west
it was a little after seven
dude had to buzz me in
it had browns stuff all over the walls

went back to the palms
couldnt get the room until 3
but did all the paperwork
got a free breakfas buffet
yes i ate crab legs at 8am
and just about everything else
i wasted more food than i ate the last week

the dude next me had 5 glasses of free champagne
considered skipping the browns bar
and watching it at the sports book loaded on free booze
but figured i would be asleep by the end of the first quarter

i am now at kooper keg awaiting kickoff
there must be 50 browns fans here
every tv is on the game
that doesnt even happen in some places in lakewood

guy said most everyone was originally from cleveland
but then he mentioned he was from canton
and well...
