So sorry for starting this 
My vegas vacation was fun, shortlived, and a little expensive. Got in Late wednesday night. Checked in at the New Frontier and then booked it down to Margaritaville for last call. Downstairs wasn't serving so I tried upstairs on the outside deck. There was still a few people up there and I was able to get a beer. I saw who I thought was Ralph Macdonald, but I was pretty drunk from the 8 hours in Chicago and the 4 rum shots on the plane. I had only seen Fingers and Amy Lee up close up till then, so I wasnt quite sure of myself, and I didnt want to make a fool of myself, because I knew I was only allowed that once, and wasnt about to spend it so soon. He was talking to a few people and when he was done, I asked very "unknowingly" what his name was. "I'm Sammy Davis Jr" he says. "Ahh I thought so" I replied. I knew it was him at that point, but I didnt bug him, he was on his way out and looked a little "tired"
The next thing I know, I wake up in my hotel room and its 1:00 pm. $*!t, check out time was noon, but they were forgiving. I run down to Flamingo and check in. Front desk tells me I have a room overlooking the pool area. AWESOME!! I get up to my room and run to my window and look out. I see the stage and the crowd starting to gather. At that point I couldnt contain my excitement and I seriously started jumping up and down, yelling, and throwing my fist in an underpitch fashion, and I was all by myself, so dont tell anyone I did that. I take a few snapshots from the window and head on down. Then I come back up to get my camera cause they were allowing them. Then I was at the show. I was a little mad that I didnt wake up early, because I really wanted front "row" really badly, but oh well. That was the closest I've ever been, and probably wont ever be that close again. It was a great time.
The next thing I know, I was at some computer reading posts.
TIME FLIES WHILE FLYING TO SEE BUFFETT
I know, I know, it was a boring story, but I needed to document it somewhere before I forgot it.
So, did anyone else go to Vegas?
