The gun store :-P $160.. but i got a "free" tshirt.. I forgot to use the $5 coupon thats in the coupon books.

 

But (knock on wood).. ive been doing pretty good on winnings, so aside from the helicopter ride, i haven't really spent too much money.

 

we ended up renting a car (special on mini vans), to go to jared to exchange her ring.. then we drove around through old vegas, stopped at pawn stars (rather lack luster experiance).. but glad we went, drove down to the gun store, blew off some rounds.. lol.. we are crossing stuff off our list pretty quickly.

exchange her ring already? or just to get it resized?

Yeah, she wanted a different style.. which also lead to a bigger diamond.. and the matching wedding ring.. and while we where at it, i ended up with a wedding ring too... i shoulda got a new watch while we where there for the hell of it, but spent the money on overpriced .223 instead :-p

 

Oh well, at least that part is out of the way.

Did you meet the guys from Pawn Stars? How was the shop?

No they weren't there, the shop is actually pretty boring, and pretty small. The camera angles make it seem alot nicer than it is. seems like they are making more money selling t shirts. The building itself is pretty big (warehouse?) , so i think most of the stuff is sold on the internet or auctions or something like that.

When i saw the pic of you outside pawn stars i figured it was all over and you pawned the ring to come home.. :mrgreen:

 

seems like your having a good time..

 

PS: did you wake up the old man ?

Ed,

 

Looks like your having some fun. Exchange the ring already? for bigger diamond? and the wedding bands already?

 

You better check your man card, it might have been torn up....

 

Not sure which way I would have gone on the watch or the .223, but hey, live it up. You have just given yourself at least an extra month to buy guns before she puts the lock down on the cash flow for the wedding.

 

Glad your winning, keep it up.

good stuff

 

the gun store was actually the fire place i ever fired any type of firearm at before...

it was at least an hour wait when we went but had plenty of fun...

 

old vegas is like a whole different world compared to the strip.. especially at night

 

if you're still there and looking for another place to eat check out L&L hawaiian BBQ and get the loco moco..

 

 

looks like a lot of fun though!

and congrats!

Haha.. the gun store is fun for a tourist.. we waited probably about 30 minutes. I think most of that wait was because the rangemasters and staff are nice people and dont rush you through. I mentioned something about needing to find a way to buy a FA M4 to the rangemaster as a joke, and I ended up explaining the BS NJ laws about needing a CCW first.. and he looked at me like "whhhhaaaa?"

 

Overall, the range is pretty crappy, its tiny, dingy, and not really well lit. It seems like they are just printing money with those guns, but its really fun and whats money when your on vacation? LOL. Besides, it doesn't take that long once you get on the range :-D

 

I read somewhere that they let the barrels wear out until the bullets are coming out sideways, but I got some decent groups, and both guns had eotechs on them (I guess it's easier for people who haven't shot before)

 

I took a stroll through the rear part of the building which is the gun store part (the front is just for the range/full auto rental) and it just seemed like a nice normal gun store, normal selection of stuff, and the prices were where they should be.

 

The pawn stars only had a few Black powder guns on sale, (No FFL? or maybe that stuff is done in the back?) That case was a little crowded, but I saw they had a nice Springfield trapdoor for $2500. I didn't ask the specs, but it seemed alittle high on that one.

there is another gun store in vegas that is all guns and supposed to be alot better.

 

on the subject of freemont/old vegas versus the strip.... we were really scared when we went downtown. lol. a bunch of trogloditic riffraff.

Yeah, I did some googling a month or two ago, and that other place is supposed to be more "about guns", but I dont think they have the m249 and i really wanted to shoot that. (They might have, I didn't call and verify), but they seemed to have mostly sub guns from the list on their website.

 

Old vegas is awesome, like AC but better. HAHA..

 

This morning we went to the stratosphere and Liz rode the X-scream, she was shit scared at first, but once it started going, she was like "OK, this is it?"

 

I was standing on the observation deck holding her purse

 

Madam Tussaus Wax museam, Brazillian BBQ, a Circe du Olay (sp) show tonight, and then off to LAX tommorow afternoon.

Brazilian BBQ = Steakhouse? Oh so good.

 

Oh and it's "cirque du soleil"

What did you think?

 

I loved the Treasure Island display myself.

I think I needed more ammo

I'm not sure, but I think I got so caught up in looking up the places mentioned in this thread that I forgot to actually say....

Congratulations!

haha.. thanks!

 

We made it to LA, omfg the traffic on the 405 because of what would be considered a "minor" accident in NJ...

 

But other than that, driving around is like NJ, except everyone is constantly going not only fast as f**k, but also 3 feet away from each other

 

We went to Philippe's tonight. OMG, if it's not the best french dip, its one of the two best I've ever had.

 

I had a beef double dip, half a beef double dip with Swiss, a few bites of my fiancee's turkey dip, and a lamb double dip. Washed it all down with 4 lemonades. LOL.. that place is like stuck in a time machine, but incredibly awesome.

 

So we found out that LA/Hollywood really only takes a day to see everything, and its ok, but I dont think we are going to be rushing back :-P Its basically single story NY with palm trees.

 

Pinks Hot dogs

 

 

 

The chilli dog was ok, the "Johny Grant" was really good (Coleslaw and tomato)

 

Carney's Train

 

 

They win for chilli dog IMO. Those two giant slices of tomato take it to another level, chilli is beter, and the bread is better too.

 

When I get home, I'm going to make one of those with a sabrett!

 

 

 

 

So I hit up in n out for breakfast today, deff need one of those in nj.

 

Went to a cupcake shop, and also went to philipes again (bought the tshirt).. btw.. get the lemonade and get your sandwiches double dipped. If not the best roast beef sandwhich ever, its on par with the best ever. (It will hold its own against roll n roaster in brooklyn)

 

Ill save you guys the horrible cell pics.

 

I'll be getting on the ship tomorrow, and ill probably be drunk for the next 5 to 7 days, plus the wifi/cell service is spotty and expensive, so i probably wont check in much the next week.

 

My only real goal is to learn how to play craps. and relax majorly.. (LOL, much more relaxed than normal, and id be dead)

 

Back to work next monday

 

hold down the fort guys...
