Las Vegas takes some practice

My wife and I visited Las Vegas for some fun on the strip.

No, not strippers, fun on the Las Vegas strip.
The Las Vegas strip is a bit dirty and kinda gross during the daytime when the sun is out and you can see all the scummy losers in the bright sunshine. After sunset all the fat, bald dudes from the east coast with plaid shorts and sandals with black socks are still there, you just don't see them as much in the dark. Well, that and the fact that when the sun goes down they all move indoors to sit at a sticky bar stool in front of some sort of machine with dem blinking light and sounds and stuff.

The reason I say Las Vegas takes some practice is that if you want to eat decent food for a decent price, you must know how to "work the system." You can go to a buffet for $10 or so and eat all you can stand of the "worst cafeteria food" known to man, or you can pay $26 each for breakfast of finely prepared food.

First you take the $10 buffet and realize the food sucks, and is gross! At that point you try the second option and realize you just blew $50 bucks and change on freaking breakfast, a really nice breakfast, but still, it's fifty bucks! Next you might try to find some middle ground, like say Denny's where a grand-slam breakfast is like $2.99, or $3.99 or something like that . . . but nooooo! this is Vegas baby, a grand-slam breakfast is $6.99 and it tastes like frozen pancake batter and the eggs are small.

There must be a way to figure this place out?

One way is to go away from the strip, go somewhere "regular" working folk in Las Vegas would go to get breakfast. I think I need to go to Las Vegas a few more times to try to figure that place out.


Oh, yea click the picture, its badass, and if you what to know more about what's going on in the picture, comment on my blog.
