Vegas, baby!

David and I took a little vaca a couple weeks ago to Vegas. The real reason for the trip was that his cousin, Neil, invited us to go to the skateboarding/snowboarding/motorcross expo. David of course was pumped for the skateboarding portion because some of his idols were supposed to be there. Well, it turns out that the skateboarding part was cancelled and a scary "christian" rock concert was inserted. It was pretty funny because David and I started to look around and we quickly noticed that we were like the only ones in the crowd that weren't gothic or creepy and the next thing we know this HARD CORE ROCK concert was going on (and I do mean HARD CORE!). The bands were supposedly singing lyrics with Christian messages but you could NOT understand it. All I heard was tons of screaming and an occasional "REPENT! REPENT!" Needless to say, we didn't stay long!
We ended up just walking around the strip, going out to dinner at the Cheesecake Factory, and swimming in our plush hotel. We stayed at this place called SouthPointe that is approx. 5 minutes from the strip so it was SUPER CHEAP but the rooms were amaz-za-zing! It was the nicest hotel David or I had ever stayed in. Next time we go to Vegas, we're def staying there again. We had so much fun and it was nice to get away! (The In-N-Out wasn't bad either :) )
Here are so pics for your enjoyment...

Bad DAVID!
