Vegas 2.0: The Infamous Bacon Waffle Tower

Now you see it:

Now you d... well, I tried my best...

Raising the white napkin of defeat:


Bonus Photos:



The Kokomo - Basically an entire loaf of bread stuffed with delectable meat, also in loaf form





Suggestive HH Bloody Mary garnish prompting my recent binge on jalapeno stuffed olives and gerkins


Do yourself a favor and check out Hash House A Go Go inside the Imperial Palace.

Laser-Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy

...aka they shot frickin' laser beams at my eyes after they loosened my cornea and shoved it aside

Which in the end resulted in hilarious photos with me looking unkempt and wearing hysterical, yet protective, eye wear.


In this photo I should either be down at the track betting on some ponies or trafficing large amounts of cocaine throughout Colombia.




There protective lenses are supposed to keep me from gouging my eyes out in my sleep... they also allow me to see dead people a la 13 Ghosts





This one's just silly.






And finally, here I am after Day 2, freaking out because I thought my eyes might be broken after seeing a giant left pupil and moderately sized right.

Vegas Ninjas

...sometime after 8am local time on Monday morning in Vegas after lots of booze, gambling, and other associated shenanigans


I've got a tumbler full of Jameson in my hand and I'm demanding to be conferenced in with Phil and the rest of Irene's co-workers as she tries to get some work done before lunchtime on the East Coast.

Tim has managed to latch on to some kind of foliage outside of a casino I can't remember somewhere on The Strip.........

...and then, in the time it takes me to raise my glass, he's gone,

like a ninja.

Pedro O'Houlihan <3's U2

Here are a couple of photos from the U2 show in Vegas. Put on some Achtung Baby real low in the background, stream the Vegas Part 2 Podcast, and pretend that you were there.



Bono, moments before abducting a small adolescent boy from the crowd....

..and there here goes.

It's cool though, he handed the kid his shades Bret the Hitman Hart style





Some douche-bag ruining Pedro's sweet Bono money-shot





Despite being fairly indifferent towards U2's music, I was pretty impressed by their spaceship looking, expandable hexagonal video screen stage set up deal they had going on. Pretty intense.

(Also pictured: The Edge..mostly for scale... I bet Pedro can give you his exact height and weight)

One stop shopping at your local Naperville, IL supermarket

Not Pictured: Pork Hocks & Pickled Eggs
(They were on the shelf below.)

Adventures in Drunk Gambling

Podcast Part I of the Gader Goes to Vegas saga should be posted soon. Here's a little photo montage of what's to come.


Half of a pastrami sandwich from the Carnegie Deli... the thing was the size of my head with unlimited mustard and 3 whole pickles. Of course I ate the whole thing.


Two questions: Why bother with the bread? and Are Jews really willing to drop $20 on just a sandwich?


What Tfo refers to as the "Big Boy Chips"... well technically he calls the $25s that... all care of Black 23, Mario Johnsons, and Buddy Greco.




Lion at the MGM Grand...
If you look closely you'll notice the lion chilling out above the little walkway thing and then his two "handlers" inside the pen, clearly ready for anything.

The dude on the right is actually texting someone.



Just a little pre-gaming at O'Sheas with family and friends.

Is that thing regulation or what?!

I know, I know...it's been a while since we've posted on the blog. If I didn't have to be up for work in 4 hours I'd definitely indulge you all with pictures of the legendary toilet setup at the Sweetwater Cafe... next time.

Instead I leave you with this:


If you weren't aware, it's MOVEMBER!!! (a.k.a. No Shave November) So grow out that beard and when the time comes, carve yourself a fine mustache...it's for a good cause. If you want to send any donations my way, the email address is at the top of the page. Facial hair is fun.
