Climb and hike, gamble if you want

I start the day with a 5 and a half hour meeting, after which I go home and do some last minute packing. The taxi arrives at 5:10 as planned, but Lili hasn't showed up yet and doesn't answer phone calls. It doesn't take long for her to show up, though. Turns out she's packed the cellphone charger, but not the cellphone itself...  But that's the only accident of the day.

We get to Vegas and check in at Stratasphere w/o further inccident. We then go to Bellagio and had the most expensive noodles we've ever had. Tomorrow, or rather, today at this time, is Big Yuan's birthday, so some noodle is very timely.
