I'll be leaving my house here in a couple of hours.

A little tip for those coming from the south on the 15. Instead of getting off At Trop. Get off at Frank Sinatra @ Trop Make a left then a right on Rue de Monte Carlo. You will avoid Trop all together and only be on the strip for half a block.

Was a good meet-up, kind of ticked me off that there was a homeless guy at the entrance to the lot that was asking everyone for $5.00 on their way in. We all got tossed from the MC as well. We made it through the casino floor of the Cosmo and Aria with a few eyes from the ear-wig people, but no one there seemed to care to much. The guy at the pool deck at the Cosmo thought it was "Awesome" that we were all packing.

Hats Off to the security staff at the Monte Carlo, We were asked to leave with no aggression, they acted as if they could have been enforcing a "No shoes, no shirt" policy, they explained our options, and offered to lock up our firearms. (good to know if you have reservations.) or commitments. they did wait until they had a whole team of security. Nice walk

Yeah they didn't like it that we where in there at all. But it's funny that they seemed shocked that we didn't want to go down into the basement to disarm, but choose to leave. At least we got to use the restroom there before they kicked us out.

You missed the drunk Batman though. He just couldn't get over the fact that we where armed. And that cocked and locked is the best way to carry a 1911.

We screwed up by not getting a group photo. But I did get these awesome bikes. I love this style of custom bike. If it doesn't make it go fast, it doesn't belong.

And a custom built moto gp inspired by the vintage board track racers. The motor is a very rare V5 that has 3 cylinders in the front part of the v and to on the back producing around 200 ponies.

And how could they kick us out if they have this in the window of one of there shops.

Me, Tim, Tread, Nevada Carrier, Mplannet and his girlfriend(who was OC'ing) showed up. We had no problem going into the Cosmo and City Center. We went into the Monte Carlo and used the restroom. We started to make our way to the food court when we where stopped by the suits with earwigs.

After talking a little we all agreed that no of us wanted to go to a buffet. So we went to the food court above Gameworks. We got a few looks but was never asked to leave. One of the best looks i seen was when a woman walk past MP's girl friend a spot her gun. Her eyes got as big as saucers and nearly got whiplash from the second look she tried to get.

Sound like another good time. Sure would have a better impact if more were able to come. It is great when the gun-carrying women are there. I believe most believe it is a macho ego man thing when they see a guy with a gun. Really throws them a curve when see a woman in the group.

Yes good point. I think her name is Merrissa, and I am usually wrong, but i felt a little akward cuz mplannett shows, and we shake and fistbump.... and nothing for the girlfriend. so I (knowing that I am going to be the sensetive dude from now on) say that we engage the chicks and talk to them more, (I did a little) and fistbump them etc. so they know that it we do appreciate them coming out. that will help us keep them coming back. Miles, please tell her I'm sorry cuz I know I got her name "close but wrong"
