Geno’s Back to the 90s Weekend In Las Vegas

3AM is way too early to wake up for a flight. But it turned out to be way worth it.

Made it!

The moment you step off the plane the slots are calling your name.

First stop? Casino? Nope. Show? Nope. In-N-Out Burgers baby for a Double Double Animal Style!

What was her name?

Daytime view from our room in Vegas was sweet...

I really wish I had time to see U2 at The Sphere. Really looking forward to going back to go inside.

LOVE this place. Next time you're in Vegas, venture off the overpriced Strip restaurants and eat where the smart locals eat.

Get the stuffed French Toast with apple. I didn't even touch the syrup.

... but it looks way cooler at night!

We're here! Let's go. And yep, had to rep the Bolts.

Seriously? Maine lobster rolls at a Vegas concert festival? Cousins is good stuff too. I'd had them before. And honestly prices were not jacked up. Lobster rolls are already expensive enough... they were charging about $25.

There were 2 main stages. Which one would you have worked your way to? I chose the green side. I'm a big Green Day, Offspring, and Sum 41 guy.

Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day reenacting what I looked like dragging myself into the studio Monday morning when I got back from Vegas.

I've seen Sum 41 at least 41 times... always good. But their performance at the Hard Rock in Tampa last year was the best one yet.

There's a beach off Ocean Avenue. I'll have to check it out.

Blink 182 is back together now that Tom has taken a break from alien hunting. And no that's not snark.

5 Seconds of Summer had Joel Madden from Good Charlotte join them on stage.

Blink 182 will be in Orlando next summer if you missed their Tampa show this year.

All the small things.

The Offspring are always fun but they just kind of were going through the motions. Maybe I just was less pumped since we just saw them in Tampa a month or so ago.

My first time seeing 30 Seconds To Mars. Was really looking forward to it, but Jared Leto is an egomaniac and annoying on stage. He actually stopped his band midsong 3 or 4 times to lecture the crowd that they should be louder. A) The crowd was outside shoulder to shoulder in the hot Vegas desert sun all day with little water. B) Maybe give a better performance and you won't have to ask the crowd to be louder. What a tool.

The Offspring didn't have to play with the sun in their eyes like the daytime acts.

Pierce The Veil ... I'd heard of them but didn't know their stuff, but man the ROCKED! So good!

Cone from Sum 41 kindly showing me the way to the portapotties.

Pierce The Veil was AWESOME. Didn't really know their songs but hope to know them when they come to Orlando next year to open for Blink 182.

Green Day! Man I've seen these guys dozens of times, but it'd had been a while.

Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day... with Elmo.

Blink 182 doing "What's My Age Again?" It was a question I was asking myself all day.

There were 4 stages total. The 2 main stages were placed next to each other so when one band finished, another went right on a few minutes later. It was great.

If you get to Vegas, not far from the airport is this shopping area called Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar. Get that "Dirty Dog."

Oh. My. God. It was the best hotdog I've ever had. And I'm not a hot dog guy.

I lived in California for 5 or 6 years so seeing mountains was lost on me then... but now that I live in Florida, I stare in awe when I see a mountain desert sunset.

My buddy from Cali rented a Tesla. I'd never been in one. I will own one by next week. I'm not even kidding.
