We had a great time in Vegas -- especially since the trip was paid for by Matt's company! We ate TONS (literally) of food and discovered that blackjack is pretty entertaining.

Favorite Restaurant: Hofbrauhaus, Las Vegas (Claims to be the only American restaurant licensed by Munich, but the one in Cincinnati had a better atmosphere!)
Favorite Buffet: Aladdin (Very tasty)
Worst Food: Sherwood Forrest (bland and overpriced)
Shows we saw: Hairspray (loved it), Mama Mia (entertaining, but not excellent)
Where we stayed: The Excalibur (nice room, castle motif)
Biggest Win: $40 on the "Wheel of Fortune" (dumb luck)
Biggest Moment of Fame: Matt was on the local news being interviewed about the newest world record in motorcycle jumping, which we watched happen at Caesar's Palace

Vegas '06

Matt found a friend at the Venetian who loved to hear stories about the computer convention. This guy was a great pal, he never yawned or looked around the room while Matt talked about wireless range and connectivity issues...

While in Vegas, Matt auditioned for Cabaret...

Which is the Real Man and which is the WAX MAN???

Our little disposable camera didn't do so well at picking up the backgrounds of where we were! Our digital camera is packed away, so we had to resort to the disposable.
