ICE CREAM


Restaurant
Notes
Wife wanted to order ice cream via room service. I had the bright idea of going and getting some real good sundaes from somewhere. Not aware that most of ice cream shops close around 11:00pm. About 2 hours later (6 casinos)I was back at the Flamingo with ice cream bars from Ceasers. I tried Bally's, Paris, Bellagio, and several others. Man what a work out.

San DIego just intercepted the ball and have sealed the win and cover the points. Wait he just fumbled the ball. Unbelievable. New England won I lost $200. The upside as my brother just pointed out (he called) is Indy has home play off game we get to go to now.

Crazy show. It really screws with your mind. Got the tickets from 1/2 price ticket places (not really half price). While in line Cathy had to walk a half mile to find a bath room.I would recommend close seats for this show.
