Day 8 – We were awoken rudely at 8 in the morning by room service. Today was our last day to hang in Vegas before the tour resumes. At one point we rode the ‘Speed’ roller coaster which was cool. We also crusied over to the Hilton so Jim could check out the Star Trek ride. Kevin and I hung in the bar avoiding eye contact with anyone in Klingon garb. Yes, I am serious. The gambling was good for Kevin today … he scored $95 on the Mr. Lucky nickel slot machine. I ended up losing $20 on the Cleopatra slot machine. Dave and Justin got stuck in tons of traffic leaving LA and were running about 4 hours late so we just went to hang at the Treasure Island bar and later watched a couple of peformances of the Bellagio fountain. God I love that thing. At one point on the walk back to meet Dave and Justin, Jim got slapped on the butt by a passing girl who smiled at him but he’s got no game so she passed on without a word. Next time Jim should ask himself “what would Shabba do?” Of course that would involve him donning a white robe and singing dance hall so we would have bailed on him anyway. Dave and Justin arrived around midnight and then we started the drive to SLC. We has a really cool drive tonight. We passed through the Arizona mountains under a full moon and it was beautiful. I think Kevin is the only other one of us awake enough to remember it. Another truck stop night in Utah.
