We found out that if you don’t tip the doorman after he opens your
door for you he will tell the taxi driver the wrong location to go to.
At first we thought the idea was a little far fetched because the
passengers would hear the wrong location being given. Later that
evening we learned by experience how they do it. Our taxi driver took
us to Palms Place instead of The Palms costing us several extra
dollars in back tracking. I can’t help but feel this mistake was a
perfect example of the subtle way doormen express their disappointment
in not getting a tip.

Sights in Vegas
This man was passed out at the mall and people were starting to harass
him. Guys would playfully kick him or pose with him for photos without
him stirring one bit. I started worrying he may be more than passed
out. Security headed over and gave him a sternum rub which woke him up
instantly. To do a sternum rub you take one hand and make a fist with
the middle finger sticking up so the second knuckle sticks out of the
fist. Put it on the person’s sternum and press down firmly while
rubbing up and down. Supposedly if this doesn’t wake someone nothing
will. -
The Bank
Thursday night Maggie and I stayed at The Bellagio. The dance club was
a lot of fun. After dancing for an hour on the regular floor the women
paid to dance up high pulled the 2 of us up onto their ledge. There we
danced for several more hours able to move freely without dealing with
the rest of the drunken crowd. -
After Cirque de Soleil
Cique de Soleil was quite an experience. The set for “O” was simply
awesome. It is one of those shows where “the making of O” would be
even more fascinating than the performance itself. After watching the
show I simply wanted to go the gym and work on getting stronger but
alas I ended up instead at a bar pre-drinking before dancing. It was
great that Carl and Mary joined us for a couple drinks before we
headed out. -
Blue Martini
Going out after Cher was quite difficult. After 2 cab rides to places
that were “dark” on Wednesday nights we finally asked our cab driver
for some advice. He said everyone goes to strip clubs Wednesday
nights because most dance places are closed except for Blue Martini
and LAX. Blue Martini was off the strip and more of a local club. We
managed to salvage the night there and had some fun dancing.
