So here are three things I've learned since arriving in Vegas ...
1.) Be careful when you open the nightstand drawer. This is what I found ... and although I thought the blue powder in the little baggie at first was something one gets from Heisenberg (gratuitous Breaking Bad reference there, one of the most creative shows in a long time that just returned to AMC), it turns out that it is more likely the powder that bowlers use on their shoes leftover from a recent bowling tournament held here.
2.) Little children and international tourists are very easily distracted by the sights and sounds of Vegas, and therefore you cannot maneuver through a crowd at a brisk pace without stepping on a few toes -- literally. My apologies to all of you whom I stepped on this week.
3.) This property (which I now will not name -- just in case the LVPD are somehow reading this and take an interest in the item I discuss in #1 above) is a Pepsi only property. And no matter how far I search (on premise restaurant, vending machine, etc) ... none was to be found. Not even outside or at a nearby establishment ... and I know -- because I left the hotel property desperately one day at lunch, and inquired of standers-by if they knew where I could get some coke. The first two just looked at me funny (although they may not have spoken English), but the third passer-by gave me a knowing nod and told me to follow him -- at which point I had my a-ha moment and realized that it was not the purchase of Coca-Cola about which he had information.
AND I SWEAR (on that Bible) -- items #1 and #3 ARE NOT IN ANY WAY RELATED!
