In a mere 48 hours, our hero will have landed in Las Vegas, Nevada. McEathron is turning 30, hence the trip. Additionally, he's taking his Series Seven exam on Saturday morning, so it'll either be a celebratory or drowned-sorrows trip.

Whatever works. I've never been to Sin City. All I know I've heard from others who have previously made the trip, but that doesn't really give me a great sense of what to expect. Sure, when Pastor Brian tells me that there's porn lining the streets I get a fun visual, yet I'm betting it's only a small window into what I'll see. And, frankly, it's going to be all about the people-watching. I like to gamble, but not with my own money. Laying down $100 for a Celine Dion show isn't my cup of tea. And Matty and I aren't part of the Cirque du Soleil target audience.

Beyond that, though, I'm sure it'll be a good time. Different for this group, in that our normal trips together involve ice and fishing. But we're malleable and friendly, so I'm sure all will be fine. I'm a bit nervous about the fact that I'm a spitting image of George Clooney and the Bellagio is still probably on the lookout for him, but I'm willing to risk it.

Always bet on black!
