<p>Last week I went to Las Vegas for the second time this year, and had yet another absolutely amazing time <img src='http://www.matt-carr.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />   On the first day we did a spot of gambling in the Wynn, then headed over to the Venetian for lunch.  Sadly, I lost a good $60 on the slots &#8230; poor show!  In the evening we went to see a show on at the Wynn called &#8220;Le Reve&#8221; &#8230; absolutely amazing!  It was the perfect mix of art, fantasy, magic and talent.  Check out <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBE57vsVE7g">this video</a> to see what its all about!  We had dinner in a fancy restaurant overlooking the waterfall at the Wynn, which does a very unusual show every 30 minutes.</p>

<div class="post-section">
<p><a href="http://www.matt-carr.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/img_0938.jpg"><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-80 post-img" title="winnings" src="http://www.matt-carr.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/img_0938-300x200.jpg" alt="winnings" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>I had a very lucky day on the 2nd day &#8230; literally the first machine I sat down at, I immediately got through to the bonus round, managing to achieve total winnings of $131 on a 1 cent machine!  How awesome is that!  Unfortunately the winnings went towards the losses I made the previous day (and the following evening) to make it a roughly even win/lose ratio!  So thats pretty much days of fun for free!  Fine by me <img src='http://www.matt-carr.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />   Afterwards we did a &#8220;casino crawl&#8221;, making our way down the strip.  By the end of it we were knackered so decided to get a taxi back to the hotel.  But unfortunately this clashed with the arrival of Obama, so the entire strip was closed to all vehicles!  Grrr &#8230; had to walk all the way back again!</p>
<p>Later that night we ate at a restaurant called Switch, that switches its theme every 30 mins to give you a new style of restaurant.  New walls appear, a new ceiling, and new decor!  As amazing as that all sounds &#8230; it was a little disappointing.  Only 3 themes.  Meh.</p>

Today was hilarious, I was hanging out with my buddy Rudy, just driving around the valley running various errands &#8230; when all of a sudden he announces that his car is running hot.  So we pull over, Rudy opens the bonnet and fiddles around with a few things &#8230; and then BOOOOOOOM the car starts spitting out green fluid! (apparently very hot green fluid!).  I couldn&#8217;t help but laugh and take photos <img src='http://www.matt-carr.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' />

<div class="post-section">
<a href="http://www.matt-carr.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/img_0829.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-70 post-img" title="green-pool" src="http://www.matt-carr.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/img_0829-300x200.jpg" alt="green-pool" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>
But Rudy being the absolute car genius, fixed it up nicely and got everything working again.  Which makes me think that I reeeeeeeeeeeally need to learn how to repair cars!  A breakdown could happen at anytime, especially with 2nd had cars.
