Last week was D’s Spring Break so we set off for annual fun in Vegas. This was a long visit for us this time – staying at NYNY for six nights. This trip was extra sweet since we coaxed some party pals to join us. With people arriving and departing throughout the week it kept things really moving. It was the first trip out for a couple of em so we made a lot of the usual rounds (canals at Venetian, gardens at Bellagio, inclinators at Luxor, lions at MGM, etc). We all did treatments at the spa, ate very well, and drank even better. Xomox got a new appreciation for craps. I learned to love the sports book winning 4 of the 6 college basketball bets I placed (wtf Davidson!). And the ladies had much fun slotting it up with fish, Vader, and Hitch.
After one failed attempt (who knew a bar could close at 10pm in Vegas!) we finally tackled the Star Trek experience and got blasted at Quark’s bar.
On our last day we made our ritualistic trip out to Red Rocks for a lot of hiking and a little climbing. On the way out we took a little drive around the new housing developments on the outer stretches of town and imagined what it’d be like to live out there. And afterward we checked out the new Red Rocks Casino and had a fantastic lunch buffet. We finished up at NYNY with some great gaming until 2:30 in the morning and set out for the airport before 5. In the end I was up $15-25 (truly a miracle after six days of gaming), some blisters on my feet, one sunburn, and some new awesome Vegas memories.
remind me…why did we come home?
Awwww! I want to visit Quark’s Bar too and sit underneath the Enterprise!! 🙁
Glad you guys had such a great time! 🙂
