Today was the day. U2! We got up around 9 AM and left St. George at about 10:30. Down to Vegas!
We got to Vegas and headed down past the strip, first hitting the outlets. Next we decided it was time to eat so we went over to Planet Hollywood to hit their buffet. We totally filled up! Next we did some quick shopping along the Miracle Mile.
After hitting the Miracle Mile we drive past the Paris so Jeremy could get a picture of his foot in front of it. Next was Fry's! Woo hoo! I so loved it. I got some pins to go into Molex connectors! After a while there we headed to the show.
We got to the stadium at about 5 PM. There was a huge line that wasn't moving at all, so we chilled in the van for a while until the line started moving. We got in, and decided to chill more towards the back, rather than be up as close as possible. We noticed a bit of a crowd gathering around the VIP area. Looking back Matt saw Paris Hilton was there. Soon the Black Eyed Peas started. They were ok. I did put in the ear plugs as it was just far to much bass, and no substance. Next was U2. The did a great job, and the stage was fantastic. Bono announced the Bill Clinton was there, probably up in one of the boxes. Here's the setlist:

Show was awesome. My back sucked. Just before Sunday Bloody Sunday I went to the back of the field and sat down against the wall. I stayed there through One, then my leg was going numb so I headed back to the other guys. After the show ended we cruised out to the van. We've been sitting here in the parking lot for an hour without moving. Traffic control here sucks! UNLV is so lame!
Edit: We finally got moving, and made our way back to St. George. With losing the hour coming back, we got back to the condo at 4 AM. I went right to sleep.
