...stays in Vegas. Or so the saying goes...
We arrived early in the afternoon and after a pretty smooth transition through customs, we left the airport by stretch Limousine. It cost as much as two taxis so was within our budget and we did arrive in style for our first port of call, the Stratosphere Hotel.
For those of you not familiar with this Vegas Landmark (or who haven't played the Fallout game), it is a giant (over a thousand feet high) observation tower, the tallest building on the strip that dominates the skyline, giving the guests an amazing view of the entire Las Vegas region and into the mountains beyond. It also has cheap, spacious rooms and a large pool with an amazing location for our first production meeting in Las Vegas; the hot tub - which was a hell of a draw for six sun starved Brits who had recently escaped the chilly confines of the UK.
Nathan was in like a shot, Michael & Robin dangled their feet as Normski entertained everyone and particularly a rather elderly female guest at the other side of the pool with a frantic excited sun dance, warm weather in January being an impossibility in Scotland this time of year. After a brief interlude, it seemed he might have instantaneous sun stroke, but thankfully that was not the case and the happy lady's applause was gratefully recieved by the sun worshipping Scot.
As night fell, it took a few hours of settling in but pretty soon we were ready to head out and shoot the first scheduled scene of the film - a scene which involved drinking, partying and a healthy dose of debauchery.
To find out if we achieved all three you will have to wait for the film to be released but safe to say most of what happened in Vegas will probably stay there, isn't that right Normski ?...
