Friday mainly consisted of the U2 show. We slept in, ate lunch, and walked around town a little. Bethany walked down to Paris to do a little shopping and then met the Jason and Matt at the MGM Grand while they were gambling. While waiting on them to cash out, Bethany and I visited the Lion habitat, and ended up getting our pictures made with a lion cub! It was most certainly the highlight of my trip! I totally got star struck, and couldn't even speak when we were with the lion cub! There were so many things I wanted to say and ask, but I was completely silent! Oh well, there is always next time! Here we are with our new friend!
Afterthat, we got ready for U2 and took taxis to the UNLV stadium. Mabee, Heather, and Chad all spent a few hours waiting in line for good spots in the pit, but the other 6 of us happened to arrive at the right time in the right place and they rushed us in at the beginning of the line. It seems wrong that we jumped (and we felt a little guilty), but it was a split second decision of morals: walk straight in, or go to the end of a REALLY LONG line??? So we went in. Here we are all chilling out a couple of hours before the show.
The Black Eyed Peas were a lot of fun, and then U2 came out. It was very exciting to be so close to Bono and the band! 
After the show, we had some issues getting back to the strip, but after about 2-3 hours of walking/trying to get a taxi/avoiding dangerous avenues of town/thinking we'd get lost in the desert forever, we grabbed a nice cabby and got back to the Luxor safely.
