Arrival at Las Vegas

For almost 2 months I have had this in mind and I made every effort to make it possible. As much as it sounds it was not supposed to be so difficult but then it was the first time I had made an effort to convince other people to do something. Now its not something unusual or extraordinary that I asked, it was just a vacation plan that I was working on. Now most of the people would jump on the idea of going to Las Vegas (yeah that was where I was going) but then there are always exceptions :) :). I would say I achieved a victory when we were finally able to put a fixed plan for the trip. Then onwards, we made all the necessary arrangements for the stay and other parts of our trip. I would have to confess, till the last day, I was afraid that if somebody doesn't turn up or decided not to come, what a disaster it would be. Finally, the long awaited moment arrived and I landed in Las Vegas for a long weekend vacation with some of my good friends. On the face, it was the Las Vegas but more than that it was the get together feeling that propelled my enthusiasm.

As I landed on the airport, my eyes started searching for a serious looking fellow with some serious email checking issues but I was relieved when I finally met him. The face had a completely different portrayal of a man at peace with a lot more going in the mind than that was reflected on the face. Yes, I met my first to be partner in crime in the Sin City, ROBO.

Then it was just a long wait, before the second person would arrive. Somebody who had really serious issues with life itself and happens to be an easy target for girls (in variuos ways which I may or may not discuss in my further description of this journey). In the mean time, I at least got to know that why ROBO had ignored all my email communications or may be marked them as spams. Poor soul was always on a cross country trips to earn that extra $10-$20 tip. I have to sympathize with him on that. At last at 2 am in the morning, the God arrived and made our trip worthy. All the evil forces tried to stop him, delayed his plane, even delayed the taxing of his plane, but he came through it. Thats why we call him God. Thats VENKY, the second to be partner in Crime.

Most of the world have their last meal of the day at dinner time more or less before 9-10pm or they have their breakfast at the earliest at 6 am. But then this was Vegas and I would say people here just don't look at their watches ever. Everything is open almost 24x7 and thus we had our first meal in Las Vegas at 3 am after checking in at our hotel and locating an IHOP next door. My first experience at Ihop was more than I expected, it was good food and then there was just one thing that we could have done after that, and that was...yes a nice, comfortable nap in the hotel room as we also had to gear up for our next day in Vegas.
