The Aria hotel. Everyone has told us it is the newest hotel in Vegas, brand spanking new. I never thought I’d experience a ‘New Hotel Smell’, but if such a thing exists I think I can say I have smelled it. Click the main image above to see the whole thing – that image makes it look SMALL. The place is insane – you open and close the the curtains with a button control, it has a media station to plug USB phone chargers into it – and a ‘Sleep’ switch that basically shuts down the room for sleeping, lights off, tv off and curtains closed.

It’s. Bananas.

Officially 1 week today, and it Vegas time baby!

Today was an early start (3:30am) to catch our flights to Las Vegas, and after 2 full on days at Comic Con and the hotel/motel in San Diego, the Aria hotel in the City Circle of Las Vegas Strip isA�AMAZING! Its a huge hotel, one of theA�newestA�built on the strip. Situated between the Bellegio and the New York New York hotels, we are in the heart of the strip. Our room is facing west, and we have just been able to see the sun set from the cool aircon of our room (currently 32deg c 7:40pm)

We had an wonderful shuttle bus driver today, who pointed out places, gave us some hints and tips about getting around, suggestIONS on what to do and see. We drove past a couple of hotels on the way- but tomorrow we will explore with our camera tomorrow and post about the Strip tomorrow night.

Today was a planned transit day- getting from one place to the other and settling in. We have not looked around much, but the joy of having 5 nights in this oasis will give us plenty of time. As we only had a small McD breakfast early this morning, we decided to hit our first Vegas Buffet- OMG… for all you Launceston people reading, it was like 4x the size of the Links @ the Cas- but this one included most drinks and had no time frame set- you can sit there as long as you like, and EAT!

Another huge day. Think of the coolest show you have ever been to – thenA�multiplyA�it by ten a hundred. A�It’s hard to describe – today was supposed to be a half day to see the last of the main showroom floor plus the Venture Brothers panel andA�Bones panel for Juanita, so that we could have a rest, but instead we didn’t get back to the room til 6 because so many things popped up. I saw Tara StrongA�in person, got shunted by Gene Simmons bodyguard (with Gene in tow) and saw the cast of both Bones AND the Big Bang Theory Purchase metoclopramide in person. I picked up a whole slew of swag – I think I have like, 8 free t-shirts, some comics, pins, lanyards – and then there is the stuff I purchased. I have signatures from so many people I admire, and I have even been able to properly chat with some incredible people – likeA�Fred Tatasciore and Steve Blum. Seriously, two of my favourite voice artists, and I got to stand right in front of them, and even shake hands not once – but twice with Fred.

The whole damn thing is surreal, and I don’t know if it will ever truly sink in, but these are memories that will stay with me forever.

I’ll leave you with the last thing I managed to cram in from Comic Con, and perhaps the Highlight of my final day – I got to play the new Gears of War – ‘Judgment’A�You might have guessed that from the image above, but when you love video games and a particular series like I do, getting in on the ground floor of something new is truly unique.

I know everyone is expecting something amazing from this post, but I’ll be honest and smash your hopes now – I am not going into detail. So much happened, I saw so much, A�and I met so many people. Some shorthand things I experienced:

  • Got to see more detail on Epic Games new IP ‘FortNite‘ – I am unbelievably excited about this game, and you all should be too.
  • Discovered that Mark Hamill is un-retiring to reprise the role of The Joker in a ‘The Killing Joke‘ film adaptation.
  • Stan Lee explaining that the way Superman flies is ‘unscientific’ and that Thor throwing his hammer to fly makes WAY more sense (Guy is hilarious)
  • Got to play Darksiders 2 / Transformers: Fall of Cybertron (neither of these games are released yet)

…and so on. But more detail on those another time. I mean, I could elaborate in graphic detail – Instead, I will list some people I stalked / met / admired from not-so-far-away.

How Gay is your L.A?

Our answer? Very. Juanita and I decided to go for a walk down Santa Monica Boulevard and observe where we were staying. After a couple blocks, Juanita remarked on how many rainbow flags were out on show, and I dismissed it as simply support for the gay marriage issue in the U.S. nowadays.

Another block , and several topless men serving in bars later, I realised I was dead wrong. From wikipedia:

West HollywoodA�(sometimes referred to asA�WeHo Cheap slimex reviews ) is a city inA�CaliforniaA�located inA�Los Angeles County. The city was incorporated on November 29, 1984. As of the 2010 census, its population is 34,399.[2]A�According to a 2002 demographic analysis, 41% of the city’s population is made up of gay or bisexual men.[3]

Well, how about that!
