MIKEY*VEGAS*2017

MIKEY WAS OUT TO NEVADA FOR THE 6TH ANNUAL VISIT !!! FIRST AND FOREMOST I SURVIVED DESPITE STAYING UP UNTIL 6AM CHASING THE DICE AND MY MONEY ACROSS THE GREEN FELT. I WON !! SO I HAD TO SPEND ANOTHER NIGHT UNTIL 4AM GIVING IT BACK, PLUS MORE. IF YOU HAVEN’T HEARD THIS STORY BEFORE, 100 TIMES, YOU HAVEN’T BEEN PAYING ATTENTION.

WE STARTED OUT IN LAUGHLIN FOR FOUR DAYS AND SAW MICKY GILLEY. MAN IS HE OLD!! 81 ACTUALLY, AND STILL DOING LIVE PERFORMANCES. OF COURSE HE SANG “STAND BY ME” TO A STANDING OVATION. SATURDAY WE VISITED LAKE HAVASU AND IT WAS MIKEY’S FIRST VISIT TO SEE THE LONDON BRIDGE, DID I MENTION THAT LAKE HAVASU IS A BIG SPRING BREAK DESTINATION IN MARCH AND APRIL? THE LATEST FASHION IN SWIMWEAR IS TO HAVE ALL OF YOUR ASS HANGING OUT. INTERESTING, BUT I PREFERED THE TOPLESS, AND ELECTRICAL TAPE VIBE BETTER.

AFTER FOUR DAYS OF “SUNNY & 80” ON THE SHORES OF THE BEAUTIFUL COLORADO RIVER WE SPENT SIX DAYS ON FREMONT STREET DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS. WE SAW THE BEATLES “LOVE” SHOW AT THE MIRAGE ON THE STRIP AND THE SCINTAS SHOW AT THE PLAZA DOWNTOWN. MARCH MADNESS AND ST PATRICKS DAY ROUNDED OUT OUR STAY, WITH NEVER ENDING BASKETBALL GAMES AND A SEA OF GREEN.

LAS VEGAS BROKE A HIGH TEMPERATURE RECORD FOR MARCH WITH 90 DEGREES AND THE WHOLE WEEK WAS 15 – 20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL MAKING FOR SHORTS AND T-SHIRTS EVEN AT NIGHT.
