SEAFOOD BUFFET
One of my best friends from college, Bennett, is from Houston, Texas. That means that once college ended, I came back to Chicago, and he headed back down south to Houston. One of my favorite memories from my college years was when we went to Las Vegas for his 21st birthday party. On the trip was Bennett, one of his best friends from home, his father and me. Bennett’s father is a personal injury attorney in Houston, and I think he was more excited than any of us to get a chance to take a vacation and let loose in Las Vegas. The first night we were there we went to the Rio for their all you can eat seafood buffet, which is known as one of the best buffets in Las Vegas. We all ate so much, that Bennett’s dad and his friend Jeff could not even make it out to gamble after dinner. While we were out gambling, Bennett and I ran into Mike Tyson. It was incredible. We ran all the way back to the hotel room to wake up his dad and Jeff to tell them who we just saw. They did not even believe us, and we had to show them the picture we had taken with him.
