The misadventures of Jason Short and a few other guys (Vegas Edition)...

As you all know, this last week was Interbike in Vegas... For those of you who aren't familiar with it, Interbike is where the Retailers go to check out all the new cool stuff the companies are coming out with for the following year... and all the bike racers go there to try to grab some sponsorship deals and party all night... I'm not gonna bore you with product reviews and all that garbage, you can get that just about anywhere... I'm gonna give a nightlife review... I worked long and hard and didn't sleep till I felt I had pushed the Vegas nightlife to it's limit in order to give the best review possible for you... First stop was the Tangerine at Treasure Island; yea, cool location and good view of the pirate show, but you can't sit down unless you're someone important... Usually I can pretend to be someone important and get the hook-ups (it's easy, just act like you're cooler than everyone else) but they weren't having it at the Tangerine... so we split and headed to Margaritaville, now that was alright. They have a nice balcony right above the sidewalk on the strip so you can trash talk all the weirdos walking by while you're sipping your margarita, if that's your thing... This is where I had the best luck with the lady kind, although I could have been lucky and just met the two most down to earth chicks in the joint... so, moving on... after hanging there for a bit we cruised over to this little booth selling inexpensive beer, at this point our group was 5 strong... Our guys really tested their beer pouring skills and we gave them a 3, I mean what do you expect? it's a table sticking out of a door with nearly empty kegs on it...next was some Irish casino bar thing... it was okay, it seemed like all the dudes hanging at the bar wanted to swoop on some chicks a couple guys from our group picked up... I think that's where all the dudes go to drown their sorrows when they know they're having a bad night... we just happened to bring the meat into the lions den, it was funny to watch... After that got old we made an early morning trip to the Denny's for some pancakes and eggs... Denny's is Denny's it's no different anywhere you go... except for maybe the lights around the edge of the Denny's sign... yea, then came my bed which once I hit the pillow I was out... after a long night/morning of hard work for all my readers, I am out...
