The is is the final post about my crazy weekend in Las Vegas. Now that I’m done, I’m really happy that I put in the time to record as much about the trip as possible, because it was the most fun I’ve had yet in Las Vegas, and I’d like to be able to duplicate [...]

This is the second post about my trip to Las Vegas last weekend (the first one can be found here).
