    Yeah, the Mrs. is a bit of a thrill seeker. She likes stuff like that.

    Here's the video I took of her from the ground. She had a GoPro strapped to her arm. Don't think I ever got that footage off the little memory stick thingy.

    Nice !

    My first one was in the daytime as well......the second was at night.

    Seems retarded, but my nighttime ride was not as easy for some damn reason. Stepping off that platform is............unique, to say the least. Some damn day I'll figure out how to post that stuff up. I have some funny damn shots on my phone too from Fremont.

    lol.

    The more funnerest part of the trip, was WINNING at the craps table on three different occasions. $200, $1,800, and $700 respectively. It's the first time I ever did some gambling down there and come back WAY up in the wallet.

    Fuck an A.
    Congrats on the winnings. Now do yourself a favor and DON"T EVER GO BACK THERE! QUIT WHILE YOU'RE AHEAD!!!!

    I was up about $1000 (between my three previous trips) before my last trip through there, but I didn't quit when I should have. I think now I'm only ahead about $100, if any.

    My problem is that I play Blackjack like it's the stock market and I stay in longer than I should.


    ...I guess that applies to other things too.

    Hey OBC, I was going to say the same thing as Ray. Glad to see you were having even more fun out there. We had a good match and Ray said he's going to post up his GoPro soon.

    My wife has an issue with heights, but she likes fun and adventure much more. So after two drinks she demanded that we go ride all the rides on top of the Stratusphere a bunch of times. The jump was the only thing we didn't do. Awesome that you went two times.

    They finished uploading while I was asleep last night.

    I'll try to get them up tonight.
