all vegas-ed out.

Well, we didn't party _that_ crazy, but fun was had by all, and we returned from Sin City on the red-eye, first thing Monday morning, yuck. Highlights - gambling on Sic Bo, an Asian dice-based table game, at the Bellagio - it plays a lot like roulette, but it's more fun to be playing alongside chain-smoking Asian guys than rich Midwesterners, and I actually won. Also checked out Sega's 'Soul Surfer' arcade machine in the Gameworks arcade on the strip - it's pretty good fun, the pivot+turn+stamp mechanics are just about identical to the very fun 'Top Skater', but somehow feel more sensible and immersive when applied to surfing, except for a weird 'start trick at bottom of wave' mechanic. All in all, plenty of fun - now time for a busy couple of weeks - more on that soon.
