vegas day 5

I woke up late today because my phone didn't go off. We went to get half price Blue Man Group tickets. We tried to get there early because we thought the line was going to be long and they were going to run out of good seats. When we got there the line wasn't very long at all and we got decent seats.

After we got our tickets we went went to get Duncan Doughnuts and coffee. we made a quick stop at the outlet mall next door and another quick stop at The Pillazo to get my friend something that was unique to Vegas and then we went to the Disney store and Ross.

After shopping we headed to met up with uncle, his co-worker and his wife. While I waited I sat down and played pai-gow. This is where this crazy Vegas journey of mine gets interesting... I was down about $75 and I was about to give up. Then my uncle and his lucky co-worker show up. I didn't have a lot of money left so I decided I was going to play through the rest of my chips. I had enough money for about 2 more hands and I was playing the bonus hand on and off all evening because that's what has been killing me. I asked uncle's co worker if I should play the bonus and he said yes. I played the hand and had a full house which pays 4-1 on the bonus. I played another hand or two and asked him if I should play the bonus again. He said yes so I did. The dealer dealt me a 6 card strait flush which pays 150-1! I won about $750 on a 6 card strait flush! I've never seen anyone get a hand like that let alone me! I was the only one at the table so nobody got paid for the envy bonus. I'm convinced my uncle's co- worker is lucky because I only win when he's around!

After that amazing event we went to Todi's, auntie got a free meal because it was her birthday. It was a Japanese buffet. The food was amazing and it was super fresh. After dinner auntie, uncle's co-worker and his wife went to get frozen custard! They go crazy over that stuff.
While they went out for frozen custard uncle and I went to go see the Blue Man Group. We were there about 45 minutes early so we went to see a band perform in a lounge area at the Pillazo. my uncle bought me a hendricks and tonic. It was super smooth. I liked it! The Blue Man Group was absolutely amazing! They were funny and very musically talented. I'm pretty sure they put a lot of work into their show. It started off pretty slow. They would do a music segment and then a funny skit then eventually it was all music. they do a lot of crowd interaction. A group of people walked in late. They stopped the show, shined a spot light on them, put them on the jumbo-tron and announced to everyone that there were late comers coming in. It must have been super awkward for them. During a skit they took an audience member and placed her in a dinner scene where they had Twinkies for dinner and they based the skit mostly on her reactions. it was hilarious! They also did a segment where they played Fur Elise, Bad Romance by Lady GaGa and I Got a Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas. An audience member yelled "FREEBIRD!" and they played it! That was really cool. There was a really long segment where they each heald up a stack of really big flash cards with a bunch of facts on it. They told you to read one and they only gave you time to read one before they flipped to the next. Behind all of those flash cards were boxes of Captian Crunch. They ate the cereal and turned the "crunches" into a rythem. When they do their comical skits one of them always seems to go overboard or gets carried away and goes a little too far. when They did the dinner scene with the audience member everyone had their own idea of "romantic" lighting. the fist blue man member pulled out a candle and lit it, the third member got a fire extinguished and extinguished the candle so the second one pulled out a battery operated candle stick and the third one pulled out one of those fly lanterns that zaps flys. The audience loved it and so did I!
