This is The Great White Shank, reporting from Viva Las Vegas. A little sleep deprived, perhaps, but that’s Viva Las Vegas for ya, baby! The last night in Vegas is always a combination of melancholy and relief – melancholy that your stay is about to end, relief that you’re stay is about to end.

Me and my Goodboys friends have had a great time here, and the decorations all over the casinos have put me in a little bit of a holiday spirit. The weather has been beautiful, and my golf game, thought not exactly where I want it to be, is really coming along. Our stay here at Aria, while not exactly Wynn, has nevertheless been worth the price of admission. It’s been great to just get away from everything, which is what Las Vegas has always been, and will always be, about. Tomorrow it will be back to the Valley of the Sun and the real world. Time to start getting a car and taking the Christmas season a little more seriously.
