Here are the final photos from our Vegas trip. Last night we took it kind of easy, ate at the steak house in Excalibur, played a few table games (Elissa won $40 at Blackjack and Derek $170 at Roulette) and I won $90 on random nickel slots! :shock: It was a successful night! :lol:

Today we headed out to Desperado at Buffalo Bills, and it actually rode "ok". Not great, but probably about as good as it's going to get. There was some really great airtime over the couple of bunny hills and the first drop, and then the rest of it just sort of meandered around the hotel

Overall, though, I have to say we had a really good ride on it!

Then after that we drove back home, stopped for some food in Barstow, then onto SFMM.

So here are the photos!

Yay! Desperado, the last credit Derek needs of the trip!

Oddly enough, it was actually running pretty good today!

See! Those look like smiles on thier faces!

OMG! 90 MILES PER HOUR!!!! (Not!)

Desperado is the epitome of "Coaster designed by coat hanger!"

Dinner last night was kind of random. Steak House at Excalibur! They said the thing on top was "Yorkshire Pudding" - Lou, does that look right to you?

Robb had the "Soup Experience." Beef Barley for appetizer, French Onion for dinner!
vegas130.jpg
Elissa wanted the brown sugar from the Banana's Foster the were making for someone who really doesn't need it! :D
vegas131.jpg
At dinner, Robb apparently rode Space Mountain!!!!

Here is a scary random photo of Derek. I apologise in advance for any mental scars this photo leaves!

Our new member of the Alvey family "Leopard" enjoyed the steak house also.

Apparently Santa was also on vacation in Vegas and here he is "Phoning it in!"

After our not-so-long drive back home, we made our way to SFMM where we found the cars attacked by mutant tumbleweeds!

"YAY FOR VERTICAL LOOPS!!!!"

Elissa takes some Tatsu construction photos. (You'll see these later today!)

And they even whore themselves out to the nasty water Jet Stream to get more photos!

Desperado would've been so much better tho if they had that phoney magician chained to the tracks.

Umm, it looks KINDA like a Yorkshire pudding, albeit a slightly deformed one! I'll make you some proper ones and bring them when I come to meet you for the trip next year Robb! :lol:

You guys look like you had a great time, glad you enjoyed yourselves. Totally made me wish I went to the casino tonight!

WOW, it looks like you had a real good time! Do you really won so many money? The last time we were in Vegas, we only lost some money! :( However, thanks for the great daily updates!
