We woke up to the interesting, but not bright and shiny, Vegas strip and took a walk. It was more of a slow hobble for me, but we wandered down to Paris casino where we first realized that everything was very expensive here. It wasn't as exciting as it might have been for someone that has never been to Atlantic City but it was still an interesting town.
We ended up at the Fatburger where they did have veggie burgers. It was really good surprisingly. After we at we went back to our casino and hung out for a little while in the room.
We headed to the Hard Rock casino to get some dinner at the Pink Taco before the show. They have really good food, Mexican of course, and salsa. I got a burrito that I couldn't finish and pink lemonade that I shouldn't have drank because it just made me really thirsty.
We got into the Joint before anyone started and saw a joke performance by a rapper and then Chester French. They weren't bad but I wasn't into them for this show. Motion City Soundtrack came out and played an awesome set and got the crowd revved up for Blink. Then, the time had come for Blink-182! They came out to Dumpweed and killed it.
They played a great mix of songs, not too many from older CDs but every song was tight and they were hilarious between songs. It was the show we all wanted, the Blink we all know and love. Totally worth going to Vegas just to see them and one of the best concerts I've been to even though I was stuck standing in one place with a leg brace on. They closed with Dammit, as always, and Mark sang "The show is over now, please stop clapping now, goodnight the show is over now..." So great.
