Vegas Baby!!!

Still no time for the long story. Here's another Reader's Digest version...

Marisa and I had what we thought was a pretty crappy plane trip. We got in, rented our car, and went HERE! to have lunch HERE!

After lunch we went HERE!and checked in. A minute or two to get situated, and we went to hang out HERE! We cooked for a little while, and then went back to the room for a nap before going to dinner HERE! This time Marisa made sure she got to try everything. After dinner we drove around a little, did some grocery shopping, and crashed in our bed.

The next day we picked up Shawn at the airport and then went for what we thought would be breakfast HERE! But after our first plate they turned the thing over to lunch and we felt obliged to just keep right on eating. Then back to the pool for more skin cooking. Another trip to the airport to pick up Mitch and we all took a walk HERE! to see the new casino on our way to dinner HERE! We all had way way too much meat for dinner and decided that the rest of the evening would be best spent back HERE! doing a little gaming and waiting for April.

Saturday we all got up and had breakfast HERE! although April had a burger so I guess maybe it wasn't breakfast. Then once again to the pool for our final body toasting exercise. When we were all more than a little pink we went to have lunch HERE! where we found out that Shawn is a little squeamish around Ferengi. April bought a Tribble in the gift shop. Then we did a little gambling HERE!

We went back to change for dinner. We ate HERE! which turned out to be very cool. Mitch, Marisa, and I all had tasting menus which featured all the "Iron Chef" ingredients: foie gras, truffles, and caviar. Very, very good. The evening's entertainment was HERE! which we booked through these guys! We had a private room, bathroom, and three hours of open bar. It started out crowded, but thinned out and got much better as the night went along. We all got ROCKED. The old people went home just after 2:30 and the young people partied with new Canadian friends, getting to bed sometime before 6:00am.

On the last day we all got up and packed, checked out, and went to breakfast HERE! Which for what must have been the fifth time on the trip was just WAY TOO MUCH FOOD! We finished up, took a group photo, and said goodbye to April and Mitch.

The remaining revellers drove off for some quiet time HERE! I had never been there when it was so green. We saw a bunny, but no tortoise :-(. After that we wandered around a little and wound up HERE! and we decided to go to the movies. We saw THIS! which is another post all together. For dinner we sat on the patio HERE! and had a few beers. Then off to return the rental, the airport to say goodbyes, and home.

A fun time was had by all.

I really like the way that the positioning of your people in the second picture makes the dude in the red look like he's got an antennae. Very cool : )
