Yes, even stomachhearts love Sin City. Or at least sort of. I was there because my brother (who I barely talk to) had an engagement party. It was the first time that my whole family had been in the same place all together in five years. The perfect setting for potential disaster.
Gluttony: Piles of food at the M Resort and Casino Buffet. I still have no idea what M means, but the best part about this particular buffet is that you get all you can drink beer and wine.Actually, not too much drama with the fam. Just the normal you-get-on-my-nerves-I-can't-stand-you-but-I-love-you jabs and omg-my-parents-are-really-drunk-and-saying-embarrassing-things rolling of the eyes. It's weird that my brother is getting married though. He's the oldest kid, so was always the one getting into trouble and now he has his life together. It's really great for him, but being someone who can't get married, it actually made me kind of jealous. Will I ever be able to get my life together?
Also, I do love Vegas. How could a gay man not? Shopping, glamor, campy stage shows, everyone dressed in drag, and food. The weird thing is that despite the absurd gayness of the place, there seem to be few gay people around. There's only one gay nightclub, Krave, and it was mostly empty on Sunday night, while it's straight counterpart, The Bank at the Bellagio had a line all the way out into the casino. And even on the strip, I only ran into a few queers. What the hell happened to all the gays?
So, obviously, no dinner with boys last week, but I guess that's okay. Having my great, crazy family around was enough of a distraction.
Dear Alex,
ReplyDeleteNext time in Vegas, ask about the "FrootLoop", its actually a string of gay bars and clubs near the HardRock...u will have much more fun!
