Vegas: Day Two

Misc.
This morning we went over to the Star Trek Hilton
again. We went up there to see what was going on
with the convention, see who else showed up, and
what new booths there are. Autographs pretty much
START at 20.00 so to my friends who wanted
autographs, sorry, I'm far from being made out of
money. We got to see 'Data' and 'Riker' from the
Next Generation as well as 'Quark' from Deep Space
Nine. They were all great public speakers. They all
have great senses of humor. We got some lunch at
Pizza Hut (much cheaper than the other places...).
We then came back to the hotel to relax a bit and see what's going on with Josh and his friends. At the hotel Josh and I grabbed a quick bite and he went out with his friends and I went and started walking the strip. Today, I got to see the entire strip on foot from the Stratosphere to the new Mandalay Bay just south of the Luxor. While walking we got to see the show's at the hotels along the way from Treasure Island to the Belagio (which is amazing). We made it to Mandalay Bay at about 12:30 and took a taxi from the Luxor back to the hotel for about 20 bucks. It was totally worth not walking home.
Once back in the hotel and after putting a good 20oz of caffeine in me, I was so sore I could barely move. I figured, I'm paying an extra 15 bucks for a bigger room with a jacuzzi so I filled it up and used it. It's great. I feel great. Right now I'm relaxing on the bed tinkering on my laptop. I hope this post wasn't to boring. There's no way it can capture what all I saw today. Vegas is a cool and amazing place with interesting architecture and very interesting people. The city is probably the most diverse in the world.
Good night & good luck!
