Lessons from Las Vegas




You know what they say, what happens in Vegas always ends up on someone’s blog.

As it turns out, starting my thirties in Sin City was the smartest thing I could do. I learned all sorts of things:

-When you wear something such as a “Miss Birthday Girl” sash around your head, you’ll get a lot of attention (albeit from really creepy guys).



-People from Wisconsin are “from the 80’s” as Frank says.

-While the people around you at the Blackjack table may seem cool as they drop 100’s and talk about coming to Vegas once or twice a month and are on a first-name basis with the pit boss, they are not. They are dirty and smelly and a little bit sad.


-I don't look like Mischa Barton, even if we do have the same birthday.




-If the dealer has six or lower you should hit and if he has seven or higher you should stay. Or was it the opposite? Damn those free drinks!

-No matter how much you try to control yourself at a buffet, you will need stretchy pants afterwards.




-Even 30-year-olds fall asleep during comedy shows.

-I will never understand craps, no matter how wise I get.

-Always try to schedule your trip around a cool convention, like porn or technology, not concrete. Although it does open it up for some high-five worthy puns from those of us in our thirties: “I bet that’s a HARD job” –John Loyd; “You must really POUR yourself into your work”-Writinggal

So my birthday is officially over and all I’ve got to show for it are some new wrinkles dark under-eye circles and a fading 30. Maybe I’ll keep wearing that sash around my head. Nothing like a little attention from creepy guys to make you feel younger.
