There is a Buffett song, called "Fins" - that has the entire crowd dancing...

The next morning, we met up with Paul and the remaining Greensboro folks to say goodbye over an early breakfast. Here, Paul shows that a) he is a parent and b) what calories you eat in Vegas, stay in Vegas....

Buffett has such a great time performing on stage. He did two sets, plus a few songs in an encore. He did sing "Volcano", which is my favorite song. I sang myself hoarse on that one.

At the Buffett concert, Sly showed EXCELLENT "Fins to the left" form...

We had dinner at "Nine Fine Irishmen" before splitting off from Mad and Mike to go to the Buffett concert. From left - Higgy, Slyeyes, Mad Scientist, Mike Weasel, Jackie, Jeff Meyerson, Lisa (TCMH).

Of course, Jeff had to shop at his favorite store...

After brunch, we walked over to Caesar's Palace to get Sly drunk. This statue seems to have recovered well from last year's escapades...

Next morning, we had brunch at the Weasel-condo - here, Mike is standing at attention over the pancake pan. We had bacon & eggs, strawberry & chocolate chip pancakes, mimosas and Jackie brought ruggalah (sp?) all the way from New York!

We wrapped up the night at 3:30am playing the slots at New York, New York. You can't tell, but Bill is actually passed out ON the escalator here...

Paul tried to get drinks ordered, but was stymied by the constant dancing on the bar...

And this one (actually the owner, Tena) posing with my buddy Sean...

At the bar were several girls from www.Hot-Teez.Com. Amongst them were such brilliant shirts (hey, we were drunk) like this one...

Until we ended up at the original Coyote Ugly bar, Hogs and Heifers. Yup, a bar full of bikers, and 10 professionals from North Carolina - a great mix!

Also, some interesting bands were playing locally....

After dinner, we go down to Old town Vegas - to watch the light show at Fremont Street. From there, we wandered and drank - and took pictures of "The Rockin' Ass Show" sign...

VEGAS, BABY! The first day we get there, my brother makes it to the final table in a poker tournament. This is him holding a $500 chip for the only time in his life...

This place served REALLY large drinks - as you can tell by the margarita glass...Margie is trying to convince Paul not to jump in and drink his way out...
