Back in da hood

After driving through hell in Death Valley, we did manage to reach Las Vegas in time for some more blazing gun action. This time around I took the M16 with holographic vision and handgrip, and the motherfucking Desert Eagle! The M16 has more of a kickback than the MP5 I shot during my first visit, but it's easier to handle with the extra handgrip. The holographic vision though I'm not really a fan of. Even when you hold the gun in exactly the same position, when you move your head the red bullseye moves too. Later on I discovered that this add-on is quite bad indeed and should actually be replaced by a laser. They didn't have that in the gun range though. The Deagle was something else entirely. The knockback on that baby is giganormous. The gun isn't that heavy though, you can easily wield it with two hands. Don't try it double wielded or in one hand though, it'll knockback right into your skull. I only got four bullets though, but four awesome blasts I'll remember for a long time. Kim and Tom also shot the M16 and Kim also tried out the 9mm as he skipped that one last time.
When we finished shooting shit up we went down the strip to find ourselves a room for the night. Our first choice, the Bellagio, was fully booked, but the MGM Grand had a pretty affordable room for us. It wasn't the same luxury as the Venetian, but it was alright.
After all that driving we got hungry so we decided to go for the Hard Rock Cafe again, but this time the Las Vegas one. We went to see the Bellagio fountains, which are still the biggest (not the tallest though) in the world. Pretty impressive but also a pretty short show. Then it was time to get everything ready for our way back home. We washed the car, got all our baggage in check and got about three hours of sleep. My stomach didn't really agree too well with the ribs I ate the evening before so it all went down the toilet - upper way out. Eventually we managed to check out of the hotel, return our car safe and sound, and got to the airport with the shuttle. We realised we actually didn't gamble in Vegas so we played some slots. I won twice the amount I put in! Successful gambler I am! Also Tom had major luck with his gambling, albeit a very short one. He put in one dollar and won 8,50! He's a wale now for sure.
With Irene making her way through New York we weren't sure whether our flight in Phili was going to be cancelled or not. Apparently we got the last flight to Phili from Vegas, so that's quite lucky again! Arriving in Phili we learned that our plane was right on time, so that means we'll be arriving in Brussels on time too! Good stuff!
