Ok, I survived. The wedding turned out wonderful. Not all of the kilted friends showed up but that is normal. There were a few of us there. A lot of the women that showed up did so just to see me kilted. There was plenty of Guinness and great friends to share the day with.

Vegas was an adventure. We stuck our heads in the door of Nine Fine Irish Gentlemen. Neat place. But, we had just eaten a big meal and had to move on to other places to visit.

We were at the Rio on Thursday night so we headed over to the Tilted Kilt to check it out before the Penn and Teller show. Again, we had eaten earlier so we did not stay. But, we did pick up a few things in the gift shop. The leather jacket was hard to put back on the rack. We went and saw the P&T show and after it was over the new bride asked to go back to the Tilted Kilt, I could not turn her down. So I got a few pints of Blackthorn and sat outside while she played slots. It gave her a chance to play the slots, I got my cider fix, and we both enjoyed the great band that was playing inside. After the gambling budget was shot we went inside and got a bar spot to order a snack of 'fish and chips'. The band was excellent playing all kinds of rock songs by request. They said they are their every other Thursday. Check them out if you go.

Friday we headed out to visit some of the tourist spots and afterward the wife says she wanted to go to the Tilted Kilt for dinner??? So, we head to the one on Spring Mountain Rd. We walked in, looked at the menu (which was not the same as the Rio), looked at the condition of the place and walked right back out the door. We drove back to the Rio Tilted Kilt and spent the rest of the evening there or on the casino floor out front. I drove that night so the wife got a celtic crush from the bar. We finally left a few hours later when the bar at the end of the hall started their bar show. That was a cool show to watch.

I did not go kilted all week even though I had 2 packed. I watched the behavior of the women in the casinos and decided that it was not a good idea. There were roving bands of bachlorette parties that seemed to accost anyone at anytime. I knew that I was asking for a kilt check. Given the new bride at my side I did not want the stress. I was there to spend time with her and not fighting off other women. I also had planned to go kilted in the desert hiking one day but an upset stomach told me it was not a good idea.

Check out the haufbrauhouse if you get a chance. We really enjoyed eating there.

Vegas was neat and I will look forward to going back. I am disappointed that I did not go kilted but maybe next time.

Thanks for your advice.
