Last Friday Jared and I set off for Vegas to meet my parents. They were in Vegas for a work convention, but came a few days prior so we could visit. We started our stay with dinner at Dick’s Last Resort. This restaurant’s gimmick is “rude service”. Jared and I knew this, but purposefully neglected to tell my parents. When the hostess seated us my mom made the comment that “they are rude here”. We continued to let her be oblivious. Then as our server was taking/demanding our drink orders Jared and I watched my mom getting more frustrated with the service she was receiving. Rather than saying something to the server, my mom starts talking back!
Server: “What do you want to drink?” (rude and talking loud)
Mom: “beer?” (she is frowning at the waitress)
Server: “small or large?” (really rude)
Mom: “LARGE!!” (yells at the waitress)
It is at this point Jared tells her about the restaurant. During this time, my dad had little reaction…not sure he noticed the attitude. Dinner was continued to be fun! Our waitress proceeded to make us paper hats that we wore throughout dinner (hats were extremely funny, so pics have been edited for appropriateness of this post)…we all got some good laughs.
The remainder of the weekend was sent walking around the strip, gambling, and eating! Jared got on quite the gambling streak with the penny slots! We left Vegas with a surplus! My parents attempted Jared’s strategy and advice, but didn’t fare as well with the machines. My dad put his efforts into roulette and did pretty well. It was a fun weekend and nice to visit with my parents!
Elsie checking out my new gameboy DS! Yes, this is something I wanted...not something Jared got for himself.
The girls, Angie, AubRee, Ami, and Shonee, took me to dinner at my favorite Mexican restaurant.
