Logan:  How fun was Vegas?

Emily:  Vegas was the bomb. So fun.

Logan:  I just…I’m…I can’t get enough of that place. I know I’ve been there enough times to see everything. I just, every time I go, I see something new no matter what.

Emily:  I agree. I agree. And this was the first time I’ve gone, that… Well, you know, that I was able to see all the really cool hotels. Like, I loved all the themed hotels that made you feel like you were somewhere else. Like, the Paris…

Emily:  ...was just amazing on the inside. I mean, it really was like little France. And then, same with, like, the Venetian…

Logan:  Italy.

Emily:  ... um, was amazing and, you know, maybe in Caesar’s Palace there was a little, uh, hint of Rome in there somewhere.
