Vague Vegas

Gabby's Dad, Bob, loves Vegas so we were nice enough to drive him there for a few days of whatever people do in Vegas. Gabby's other mommy, Lauren, in true rock star fashion flew in the following day.


I don't recall seeing Bob very much after we checked in, I assume he was off doing something that was not only financially sensible, but also good for his liver. Vegas is famous for it's many health spas after all.



We met up with our friend Matt, a Vegas resident who promised to show us some cool stuff. He got us tickets to the 'Filter' concert at the Rio which also featured free Fosters beer, just like we drink all the time down under!


Pictured here is Matt being downright Australian with his unopened Fosters tinnie and his friend Jamie doing his usual party trick of a koala impersonation.


It was a cool night which finished with a visit to the Rio's rooftop club where the drink pictured below caused the next 3 hours to disappear.
I have to say that my highlight of the Vegas trip was the hilariously serious Kareoke at Bill's Gambling Hall. This was very competitive business, with guys that brought their own music, microphones and fancy dress. One particular man, who did stunning renditions of Lionel Ritchie classics (including 'endless love' with his girlfriend) nearly melted my cold, cold heart.

Next up, Bogota Colombia!
