Do you have a funny Vegas story you can share?

I spent two days looking for my wallet that I thought I lost. Going in and out of stores, full of anxiety, calling every place, backtracking, wasted two days just to realize I was a jerk and I had a backpack and didn't check my backpack. My wallet was on me the whole time. I don't know what I was thinking, I just got so comfortable with this backpack, I didn't even think to check that my wallet was in the backpack. If you got a backpack here in Vegas, don't be an asshole, check your backpack before you get all frantic and high-strung.
