vegas (no more poker)

So yesterday represented the end of playing poker live and online
in vegas, the good thing with london guests(LGs) over, and who had
no interest in gambling, we had to find other things to do.
If ur not gambling in vegas , then during the day shopping
is the next best thing. Luckily the LGs were organised and
as i woke up at lunch time, they had already organised to see
a cirque de solei show later that night and to fly in a helicopter
to the grand canyon. In an accumulated time of 3 months
of vegas i had not been to the grand canyon and still not
seen a cirque show in vegas.

Headed to the shopping mall, R who gets teased for being quite
ghey/gay when shopping is actually very useful when ur shopping
for clothes. He can spot all the good things straight away. In fact
he looks at a pile of jeans and i see the same thing, and somehow
he distinguishes them all. That being said i didnt end up buying
much.

Saw the cirque show, mysterre, which wasnt bad, the human
strength section which was two guys , when i saw a similar
bit in the adelaide cirque show it was a guy and a girl. Anyway
two guys suspending one another above the ground was
a lot more gay, tho very impressive. Picture someone grabbing
your ankles while your lying face down, then the person
who grabs your ankles is doing a hand stand so they are
perpendicular to one another, then the guy lying down
start lifting the other guy up using his calf and hamstring
muscles. Crazy !

I explained to the LGs that americans have an unhealthy
appetite for lining up, none more apparent than the
fact that people lined up for an hour and a half before
the show to get in, despite the fact that everyone
had reserved seats. Even the guy selling the tickets c0uldnt
explain it.
