Lose your money but stick around for the the commercials
This weekend I am headed back to Las Vegas for the annual Super Bowl weekend (last years recap) with a bunch of guy's I work with, my partners and a couple managers mostly. I prefer Mandalay Bay but this will be our second year at Paris Las Vegas. Not a huge fan of the casino since, first and foremost, I am constantly reminded of how smelly and inferior the French are.
Seriously though, there is not much to do in the casino except gamble and eat at 4 star restaurants. I do like to walk around a bit and get my coffee and a sandwich, yet the casino is almost exclusively 2 desert bistro's with huge lines so the old bitties can have 'French' truffles that really aren't any different than any other truffle in Vegas but at least they feel that they are gay Parrie.
This year I am not planning on a 16 mile run along the strip early Saturday morning. I'll spend some hours in the gym and spa before my 11am deep tissue massage ($150 with 18% tip). Bally's has a heated lap pool so I am hoping I can get to that for some laps. I checked for road races for the weekend and nada.
I may actually go to the top of the Eiffel Tower this year to look around, depends on cost. Plus maybe a show. I would like some comedy right now.

The spa.....now that sounds good!!!
Sounds like it should be a good time. Enjoy that massage!
Comm - I'm tagging you with the new "tag" - check my last post for the questions... Jenny
p.s. - love your comment about the inferior French -- bwa-ha-ha-ha-ha~
Have fun, buddy.
I'm not a huge fan of the Paris either. I'm sure you'll find ways to entertain yourself.
I you sure Bally's will let you in? It's an exclusive high class joint you know. They don't let just anyone stagger in.
Thunder Down Under?
Have a great trip. The nice thing about Paris Las Vegas is that it's easier to get out of then Paris, France.
And training is allowed to shift (a little) during vacations. Have fun and come back refreshed and ready to hit the last 65 days hard.
