Las Vegas diary - part four

StardustTuesday started with the same delicate head that Monday started, but it was all good. We grabbed a little lunch, and then hung around Phil's apartment, watching the Little Britain DVD while Phil caught up with some work. It meant that by the end of things we were saying "yeah, I know" in the style of the wheelchair-bound Andy character until we were getting on each other's nerves.

Later that night we went to Fado's again in Green Valley, and came fourth in the pub quiz there. I confess, we did use Google a little to help with some of the more American questions, but we still did pretty well. The night finished with a couple of bottles of wine, and we were back in our customary states of mind.

Wednesday was another slow start; Phil had to work, which meant that I had the use of the Jag to cruise around for a while. I went to the outlet mall and had a look around for gifts, then watched Crash on DVD. Later, I dropped by Phil's office, picked him up, and we went down to a leaving do. One of his colleagues, Jeff, is leaving after 16 years in Vegas, and threw a party. We stopped around there for a few beers, then went to Gordon Biersch, which is a bar that makes its own beer.

We managed to find a couple of chairs that weren't attached to a table, but were just placed on their own. It was perfect - we became Waldorf and Stadler, the two characters from the Muppets, people-watching and talking rubbish. This fairly well represents the best moments on this trip; supping a few beers, and giggling like schoolgirls at everything and anything. From there we went to get some food, and then sloped home to another deep sleep.
