| - As a gift to my wife's Grandpa, who loves to play, we took my wife's grand parents to Stateline [Whiskey] for the weekend. Grandpa has great memories of Whiskey Pete's over the years. Now normally, the only thing I don't like about Vegas weekends is the Sunday drive home. This time, we decided to stay Sunday and leave Monday and what a great idea this was.
We decided to take them up to Vegas for a tour. We had all decided that we would drive down the Strip but end up on Fremont Street, play a little and see what happens. We parked at the Golden Nugget and walked by the Tank and pool area which is incredible. We continue on through the hotel and just before we get to Fremont we hear the band at Rush.
We have plenty of time so Grandma and I sit down and listen to Wolf Creek while my wife and her Grandpa go out gambling. Did I mention he is 92! So a couple of hours and beers later, they come in and join us. I tell everyone that we should go see Fremont. Catch one of the shows on the amazing screen that is the roof but they're all more interested in watching the band and having some drinks. In Vegas you have to worry, some of the clubs can get very pricey [once paid over $70 for three Grey Goose tonics]. This place is not like that at all. Prices are very fair with many options under $10 and a few specialty drinks just over the $10 mark. The waitress, on top of being very cute, is very attentive and has a great personality.
The crowd was awesome and we got to meet some crazy Oklahoma girls and their husbands. They were very fun as was most of the crowd but I guess that can be random. After the last set, we went to breakfast and back to Whiskey Pete's. I hope the family doesn't read this but we didn't get home until after the sun came up. Grandparents had a great time, we had a great time BUT WE NEVER MADE THE LAST 50 FEET TO FREMONT!!!!
Sleeep!
