I am enjoying all the Vegas reviews, and think they captured the night real well.  However, I wanted to note that as far as I know, only Maggie, Harold and me were at the first (Oct 1999), middle (August 2000) and last (December 2001) Vegas shows.  And am I the only one that went to all 5 Vegas shows on the tour?  It's great to see how far the tour has come in those two plus years...from screwing up on Seven Days lyrics every night, to forgetting Roxanne.

It was so cool to meet new fans and reconnect with the old.  Nice having dinner at table #2 at MGM with Patty (she's mine), Greg, Bill (he's Maggie's), Maggie and Herb.  Sounds like the conversation at table #1 might have been even more interesting with all the talk about quickies and hypnosis.

Are Jeremy and Deb still in Vegas?  Paul, what about that roller coaster ride...when are we gonna do it?  Harold...Congratulations!!!!!  Good to meet you Gerard, Andrea, Fred, James, Rocky and the others.

Was also very fun sneaking into the soundcheck only to be kicked out before it even started by a security guy not interested in hearing our well-crafted lie.  Like Maggie said, better to have tried and been kicked out than never tried at all.  At least we met Gerard in the process.

The concert was definitely the high point of the trip, along with meeting up with everyone.  You know something is different when I go to Vegas and only gamble 2 hours during a 3 day period.  That means a lot of good stuff was keeping me away from the tables.  Managed to get 3 buffets in though!

I definitely recommend seeing Sting in Vegas if it happens again.  The tickets are always more, but it's so great!
