Las Vegas 1998 (Halloween)

One night Duck gets this crazy idea to go to Las Vegas for Halloween. I've always wanted to go and had never been before, so Halloween weekend sounded as good as any. I was not disappointed. What more can be said? The phreaks (with a "PH" - Phish was playing the night we arrived) come out at night. And since you're going to ask that question, anyway: Yes, I won - enough to pay for the trip, in fact. I can't wait to go back one day!

Some developer decided that there was too much Vegas, and maybe it was a good idea if someone rebuilt another city inside Vegas.  New York, New York is it.  The place is an amazing scaled replica in which I was lost frequently.

Since I dressed up as Batman a year ago to the day, It's only fitting that I finally get to drive the Batmobile.

This place had a massive arcade (as well as a rollercoaster) inside of it, and we wasted some time here as well.  It was guys against girls - they were lined up on the other side, not unlike a highschool dance.  I wore shades at my highschool dance, too.

This is one of the newest (and nicest and most expensive) hotels in Vegas, right before the fountain show.

Waiting for the huge fountain show start, we sucked down (literally - with straws) some brew out of these 40oz footballs.  Robert, Pete, Duck, and myself.

Pete doing the "Ye Ol' Famous Fake Pee" in one of Bellagio's fountains. Had to get rid of all that beer.

Since we all forgot to bring costumes (and Duck's ideas scared us,) I was going to go as "Crazy Hard Rock Guy."

So as I'm running around as Crazy Hard Rock Guy, two girls who I had never seen before just walked into our room.  Vegas was known for delivering wonderful things to you just when you needed them.

I doubt it seriously that this picture needs a caption.  It was inside Studio 54. the club inside MGM Grand.  Only $20 cover to get in!
