Rest Day - Las Vegas
On with the show. First things first, we bus to old Vegas again for lunch at a restaurant Ada had read about pre-trip and was dying to go to (pardon the pun): the Heart Attack Grill. We order the "triple bypass burger" and a "butter thickshake". The menu also contains a burger it claims is the Guiness World Record holder for most calorie filled hamburger. The waitress' dress as nurses and patrons are admitted, hospital style, and made to wear gowns. Punter's weighing over 350 pounds eat free. Unashamed over-indulgence. Very gimicky, we loved it. On our way back we continued to get our tourist on by stopping at the pawn shop from the Pawn Stars TV show, which was actually pretty disappointing, none of the fat dudes and grumpy grandpa who run the joint were there, and half the shop is full of souvenirs. Oh well. The night is spent at the MGM Grand casino where we are treated to one of the best things we've ever seen in our lives: David Copperfield. The world's most famous magician completely surpassed everything we hoped for. 10 out of 10. Disappearing, reappearing, going into the future and back, he was funny, he was genuine, spontaneous. Every act completely blew our mind. If you're not familiar with him, Youtube him right now. We also played blackjack at Hooters.
