The result was a disaster because my character couldn't stop moving left. As soon as you touch the joystick, your character automatically moves left. You have to pull the joystick up a little just to get your character to stop moving. As soon as you slightly touch the stick, your character moves left again.

Woke up early to head to Trader Joes and Union Plaza to buy Beef Jerky. But first, the sun-rise view from Treasure Island.   Didn't take any pics on Trader Joes or the Jerkies but we bought a lot. Under the advice of a lady who worked at the Beef Jerky place, we went to:

 *Note: There is nothing like hitting the clubs or hitting it with the chicks, so if you are looking for that, then look elsewhere. My trips are solely tourist like activities or doing hikes and stuff.* Woke up early to eat dim sum at the RIO hotel. Was good, not gonna lie.

My trips are solely tourist like activities or doing hikes and stuff.* I left Seattle at 6:00AM for Las Vegas. Nearly a two hour flight. My brother, his wife, and my mom rendezvous with me at 8:45AM. They arrived from Lax (Los Angeles) Airport. Without further delay, let's get started: Mccarran Aiport and Las Vegas Welcome sign
