Bright light city gonna set my soul on fire

It's been a while since my last post, but that's because I was in Vegas and didn't stop long enough to get online. Vegas is crazy, there's always something going on.

We went to Stratosphere Tower on the strip while we were there, which is a casino with a 1,000 feet (ish) tall tower where you can look across Vegas. Oh, and there are three thrill rides at the top too. The first one fires you straight up in to the air in a seat, you can't see underneath you - all you can see is Vegas stretching away in front of you. Then there's the ride that sees you sliding straight off the edge of the tower, which is absolutely terrifying. Then there's the really insane one. You sit in a chair, get swung out from the tower so you're hanging above nothing except a very long drop. Then the chair tilts so you're facing down, and then you start spinning. I've never been so terrified in my life, but it was really really cool.

We also played beer pong, where you place ten cups with beer in them at each end of a table, and throw ping pong balls at your opponents cups - every time you get the ball in they down a beer. Luckily the cups aren't full but it's still dangerous....

We also rode the roller coaster at New York New York, caught a gig at the Hard Rock hotel, and ate far too much...

In LA now, and going to take it easy for a week or so....
