What's your favorite activity off the strip?

I went zip-lining. I think it was on Fremont Street. That's off the strip, right? It was really fun. 

 

What's your favorite activity on the strip?

I saw "O", which is still to this day one of the top three shows I've ever seen in my life. I see a lot of shows. That was so magical. I want to see it again.

 

What's your favorite Vegas restaurant?

There's so many and I always like to try new things when I'm there, but I really love CUT. I really love Javier's. There's also a couple in California. I always want to try new places when I'm there because it's just such a fun experience. There's always new things popping up.

 

What's your favorite Vegas business?

Man, that's hard. There's so much there. I love the Wynn. I like the MGM.

 

Do you have a funny Vegas story you can share?

These guys were harassing me and my girlfriend one evening. She decided to tell people that she was the butt model for Bally's. I don't know if you remember. I don't know if they still have that as their logo. They always have a woman's butt, and underneath it says Bally's for, I guess, like a showgirl or whatever. She was telling everyone she was always flown out there to model her butt. Anyway, it was funny at the time. Maybe it's not as funny now, but it didn't make them stop harassing us any less either.
