The view from our room at the Stratosphere
Those of you that read my last post, you know I went to Vegas for a few days. Here’s what I did:

Park City
Inside Harry O’s waiting for Joan Jett to take the stage
Not even being home an hour, a friend of mine had tickets to go see Joan Jett at Harry O’s in Park City. For those that do not know it, this time each year, Park City is host to thousands of people for the Sundance Film Festival. It gets very crowded in the ice and snow.
After a drive up Parley’s canyon that was slick and snowy, we made it safety to the venue and enjoyed a great show. This was not my first time seeing Joan Jett live [saw her back in 2006 on the Van’s Warped Tour], but this performance was much more intimate.
Getting my drink on
Joan Jett takes center stage
Joan Jett was there to promote “The Runaways”, a coming-of-age film starring Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart. During the middle of the show, they came out on stage for applause.

Once the show got over, we got back in the car and headed back down the same snowy and slick Parley’s to go home.
And that was my weekend. How was yours?
My weekend was not NEAR as awesome as yours!!! Looks great!
And I swear i saw this post way earlier today, and tried to get here but something wouldn’t let me.
That, or I have ESP. Or something.
sybil law – You are correct. There was a blank post earlier (from last night) that got posted too soon. I deleted it and reposed the correct post (this one). Of course, I’m not going to deny you having ESP.
I just did laundry and stuff. It looks like you had way more fun!
Looks like fun although I can’t believe you didn’t go on any of the rides especially after the gin and tonics.
When I used to work in Vegas (traveled there every week for 4 months!), the Hard Rock casino and hotel were off the strip. It was where all the too-cool-for-school people went (personally, I liked it because it was smaller than the on-strip casinos!). Is this Hard Rock Cafe in addition to the hotel or did the hotel move to the strip?
Looks like you had a great time – just the way a vacation should be!
lisa – Oh, laundry is piled up now that I had all the fun I had this weekend.
kapgar – Even alcohol can’t cure my fear of heights.
nilsa – The old Hard Rock Cafe and Hotel is still behind the strip. This is an additional location, with a live stage area (not as big as The Joint, though)
Looks like you had a great time! Much more exciting than my weekend, which consisted of Wii Fit, running, and sleep, mostly. Not that that is a bad thing…. 🙂
A little bit tamer than The Hangover (which we finally saw).
That ride DOES look insane! Why didn’t you go on it?
What a fun vacay. I am not sure if I would like Vegas on my own, but I bet I would have a great time with you!
ren – Well, your last trip to Vegas was fun. I read about it. 🙂
kilax – Yes, much tamer. And if you knew my fear of heights, it would explain why I didn’t ride that ride (or any ride up there). And thank you for that compliment. I’ve done Vegas for many years and know how to have fun there.
I love a couple of those pics, the purple one, and the Stripburger one. Great expressions!
