Saturday night in Las Vegas...that means that it's "Date Night" in the Easton household. Generally, Cortney and I try our best to get out once a week to do something fun (which isn't difficult in Vegas)! So, last Saturday, Cort decided that we should go to the Aria buffet (did you check out what I did last week?? Yes, the Aria buffet...best buffet ever...except when you're on a diet). So, again, my diet is left in the dust at crab legs...and lobster tails. On our way to the buffet, you'll never believe who we saw!!
Here's a recap of our night:
Valet Parked at Aria
Walked into the Casino Area
Walked Past the Cafe
AND BOOM....There he was!! Cortney looked at me and said, "Is that..." and in unison we said, "JERRY SCHILLING!" I said it with a little more gusto, but was surprised Cortney recognized him as well. What would you do in the sheer excitement of seeing one of E's best friends?!? Well, I walked on by, mesmerized...but just kept walking...no autograph, no photo, no nothing!! I'm an idiot!! Cortney tried to make me feel better by saying that famous people like to go unrecognized so I did the right thing...but something tells me Jerry may have gotten a kick out of us recognizing him...either way, I did absolutely nothing and he only knows I exist because I think he heard us say his name and then I'm sure he quickly forgot I existed... Here's a close representation of the Jerry we saw...
Here's Jerry with Elvis, sometime in the '70's...
Jerry wrote one of the best E books out there (in my opinion of my research of Elvis books, which is extensive).
In my state of euphoria, Cort took me to the Elvis store and bought me 7 hours of Elvis with the special edition of the "Elvis" '68 special.
We finally made it to the buffet (still in a state of euphoria, to be followed with even more euphoric crab legs!)
Where we dined on mounds of crab legs, lobster tails and probably used more plates than any two people ever at a buffet.
We then decided to walk off some of those crab legs by checking out The Cosmopolitan next door.
They have the most INSANE chandelier ever...
We decided to partake in some gaming...
...and we lost. When I saw Cortney at his slot machine, I knew it was time to go home...
Have I mentioned how much I love Las Vegas?? And Jerry Schilling?? Almost as much as I love Elvis...almost... :) Until next time...
