I still had to buy a T-shirt, so after a several-hour nap (whoo hoo, the Stewarts in Vegas, baby!!!), I headed downstairs to buy an overpriced House of Blues shirt. As I left, Mike Tyson was just sitting at a slot machine. Fortunately for my "take pictures of celebrities without getting hit in the face" policy, someone else asked, "Can I take a picture?" and I just horned in on that, as you can see. I didn't risk going for another picture of his face tattoo when I got a bit closer later on.

As for the gambling, I had $60 in my pocket, so I figured I'd hit a video poker machine. I was down to the last draw when I hit a winning streak, then hit a four-of-a-kind (the second of the day on the same machine), and ended up cashing out a total of ... $60. So we're still exactly broken even for the trip.
