I'm confused. :roll:

I've never been to Vegas, but the street party was on Saturday. There were a few Reefers there Friday and "Santa" and "Elvis" stopped by. :wink:

That's a shame, because one of his helpers looked a lot like Heather. And strangely, after "Santa" disappeared, Charleston and Snake came in to have dinner. :wink:

Actually, I think the reports from the Las Vegas Review Journal are different than what page 6 is reporting.

From Sunday's paper......
Jimmy Buffett, in the crowd at the Dave Matthews concert on Friday night at the Aladdin/Planet Hollywood. ... .. Buffett, visiting the kitchen at Margaritaville (Flamingo) and speaking Spanish to the cooks
http://www.reviewjournal.com/lvrj_home/ ... 73733.html

And than from today's paper......
Dave Matthews and Jimmy Buffett, showing up about 1 am. Sunday for Robert Randolph's late-starting show at The Joint (Hard Rock Hotel).

According to some of the folks at Margaritaville, He opened the store on Friday morning. Walked around and talked to the staff.......

let's just say that it's possible with the studio work starting on the new album, but I am not betting a shop paycheck on it.

That is what some of the staff said that we talked to on Friday afternoon. The hostess that sat us there for lunch remarked at how short he was.
When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading.

Definately at Margaritaville on Friday

Post by LJVRacer »

Hi all, New to this forum but wanted to confirm that he was at Margaritaville on Friday. I was in the store purchasing a coffee mug type thing to dump my Bahama Mama in and he walked up to the counter next to me. Carried on a conversation with me than proceeded to buy and autograph a box of small liquor bottles for me. What a rush. That was better than hitting any jackpot.!!!

Man, talk about being in the right place at the right time! You had better be very careful from here on out because you have used up all your luck!

Congrats!

How did he look/appear compared to pictures, videos etc? I have not been lucky enough to attend a concert.

He looked pretty much the same. Baseball cap, sunglasses. It felt kinda weird as it was just us at the counter with his security in a u shape around us. First and last time I will be without a camera in Vegas.

Actually, it wasn't the end of my luck cuz I did hit a jackpot on Sunday. Wish I could have went to the concert. Had offer from Monte Carlo for free tickets but by the time we knew we were going out there the tickets were gone.
