Elvis is in the house

Seriously, he is. What kind of casino doesn't have some sort of Elvis impersonator?

My trip here was slightly difficult. My flight left Regan Nat'l Airport at 3:55. It was crammed full - I was in zone 3 for seating. By the time I got on the plane, no one was sitting in my row, but there was no room for bags!! We made it to Atlanta in plent of time. I had about 45 minutes to get to the next plane. When I got there they were boarding. My only food option was Krystal (the White Castle of the South), so I passed. BIG Mistake. It was SNOWING in Atlanta! We got on our plane, and wound up waiting an hour for them to deice our plane. In the end we didn't get deiced. It had started raining hard enough that all of the snow got washed off. Luckily the flight wasn't full, so the seat next to me was empty and I could stretch out later on the flight.

The in flight movie was the Jane Austen Book Club. I read this book ages ago. I didn't like it. I don't remember why, but it never really piqued my interest. However, I watched the movie anyways. I NEVER like the movie more. I can't think of more than maybe one or two books that I've enjoyed the movie more. Occaisionally I enjoy it equally, but in a different way. Well, I hate to admit it, but I REALLy enjoyed this film. It may have just been because it was better than the alternative - working... But I really did like it. It may be because I had low expectations, and because I enjoy Jane Austen. It could be because I'm in a different place in my life. now I want to re-read the book. We also got to see The Game PLan with The Rock - HORRIBlE. That is all I will say.

We got into Vegas an hour after we were scheduled to arrive. Then it was a LOOONG wait for luggage. By the time I got to the hotel (with a 30 dollar cab ride) and checked in, it was about 10:30, and I STILL hadn't eaten dinner. THe best part - The fire alarm in the room next door was going off. It took about half an hour for security to come up and turn it off. I just called it a night. I'm staying at the stratosphere (http://www.stratospherehotel.com/) . IT is OK - not as posh as the palomar was. The big problem is that it is at the far north end of the strip. We are about to head out so that I can get some dinner and to do some sightseeing!
