Viva Las Vegas Part Duex

Day three in Vegas. Today I rented a car and drove to the damn Hoover Dam, dammit. That damn thing is a damn huge Dam. Pretty cool though, one of the modern engineering marvels. Hard to believe they did this in a little over 4 years, in the 1930's . Industry wasn't even ramped up for the war yet,....but the American ingenuity and spirit prevailed.

Okay,....if you ever go to Vegas wear good shoes.....I didn't I thought I would be riding the Monorail and driving a rental,...change of plans. Now my friggin feet are killing me. I am no pus about pain,.....but they ARE killing me. So therefore I must drink much much more....you know to fight the pain, of course.....

So last night I went down to the casino in the Sahara, it was early and my intent was to venture out into the Vegas world sometime around 9. There was a band playing so I thought I might sit in,..get my buzz on,..and hang otu for a little while. Sitting by herself, was a cute blonde, defintiely enjoying the music. I watched her for a minute and eventually we made eye contact,..then again,..then again...NO I WASN"T JUST STARRIGN AT HER WILLING HER TO LOOK AT ME!!!! But,..I was certainly in a postion to tell when she looked my way. Finally the band slowed down and went to the tried and true,..slow song,..so I went over and asked her to dance......I got a nervous,..ummm welll, errrrr ok!!! She was either nervous or very uncomfortable. But nonetheless we went to the floor to dance. I noticed she placed her hands very "formal" ok that's bad.....then we were at least 20" apart,..okay worse.....do I have spinach in my teeth? Garlic? Do I smell like beer...what is it lady???? I tried to make small talk and once I layed the charm on she opened up a little bit and began to relax......NOW IT IS WELLLLLL KNOWN I CAN"T DANCE......slow dancing I have a move or two...but nothing that would get me an award......Turns out she was the accoutant for the band,.....I think dating the singer too,..who was a black dude,.....and graduated with a major in dance from NYU.......would someone please shoot me......OH WAIT that will proabably be coming from the stage!!! SOOOOO needless to say dead end! But I gave it my all.....said goodbye,..and headed for the strip.....

The women here travel in packs.....not two ro three but,....4 to 20.....They are not here to pick up men as far as I can tell.....wellllll with that said barring the clubs.....maybe in there...but in general,...NO way.....I mean this is a transient town,...few are from here and those that are,..don't hang out on the strip or evne ride the monorail,....so unlike a normal city the chance meeting is slim. The clubs here are in the hotels...they have $15-50 cover charges and lines at midnight 40 deep.....no patience for that.....but definitely hot girls waiting to get in......I have little use for that,....so I wandered the strip. I have met many people,..but there will be no wedding for Dating Dave in Vegas for sure.......ooooooh wait......I still have 4 days left,..never know......and now all of the girls, some of whom I have know for years are showing up for the convention,....and now I will be in my element,..and best yet I get to hang with JM,..she has totally been my buddy for over 8 years,..and we have planned a night out on Wednesday (if she can free up from her duties,..this is a working event for her, whereas a 1/2 and 1/2 for me),.....so I will finally have partner in crime I hope.....plus she is getting me into PURE at the Bellagio for a closed party.......Should be a blast......

Anyway......I'll post more later this week.....
