So, Vegas, it has been a rather rough week, we’ve been working like crazy (Las Vegas time) at Magic and Project and at the same time working back to Sweden, with 9 hrs difference its no mean feat. All the things you expect to do in Vegas, well we certainly have not done that so far. We are staying on the strip at THE Hotel, not ‘the hotel’ but THE Hotel. No idea why they came up with such a ridiculous name but, its Vegas! The normal rules do not exist, the view from the suite gives a great view of the helicopters taking off each morning for the grand canyon and the Luxor - a crazy black pyramid, which I love! Postmodernist architecture exhibit number 1. Its such a clash of time & styles its one of the seven post modern wonders of the world. (Does that list exist? if not I am copyrighting it now). Anyway food here is lagom, expensive and lagom but tonight we are checking out Alain Ducasse’s The Mix on the 64th floor, Im hoping its worth the money as instead of eating on the strip we’ve been trying out the local fast food and diners. Only on the west coast ‘In and Out Burger‘ is the best burger restaurant by far, real chips from potato and the double double is slowly going to kill you. Not as stylish (can you use that to describe a burger restaurant) as MAX but cheaper and better, less is more there’s only 3 meals on the menu. The Gram and Whyszeck guys joined me down there after a serious session at The Gun Store, there’s nothing like being offered a smorgasbord of semi and full automatic weapons to fire. It seems I certainly took out a couple of insurgents with the MK16 9mm and then the Chinese made Ak47 semi auto. Our instructor liked his job, was overly enthusiastic about shooting the ‘Haaadjis’, I wasn’t so enthusiastic about his use of the word but they guy was packing his own 9mm, no discussion there. Something to cheer the mood up, Food Fight. Last night we took the cab downtown away from the expensive and trendy strip to old Vegas, down to the Golden Nugget (My favorite ‘old casino’ so far), they have the worlds largest gold nugget and then dinner at the Bay Diner in the Golden Gate Casino. I loved the casino as this was where the ‘real’ people went, massive Hispanic dudes in all over ‘Everyday Im hustling’ T-shirts with ‘rhinestones, old ladies in velour tracksuits and men in cowboy hats. Dinner at the diner. 50’s style was authentic, Johan had a prime rib (an interesting beef cut, like a steak but softer, and surprisingly no rib in sight), I had the philly steak washed down with a Coca-Cola. As a final parting gesture I have to share with you a film by some finish friends ‘Karveri’ (Finnish for Mates).
