Viva Las Vegas

...seriously!

We all got to Vegas from different directions, and we all made it the same day! The main reason for the trip was Samantha’s wrestling tournament, but of course we celebrated Wendy’s 50th birthday and had a blast just hanging out. As if pulling a trailer down Las Vegas Blvd wasn’t fun enough, then I was lucky enough to back down a parking structure too! The hotel Security (on bikes) were more than helpful, directing me where I *should* have gone in the first place.

Visited Margaritaville twice, apparently shopping there once just isn’t enough for some of us. ;)

We watched the Bellagio water show twice, but this part was the best: Bellagio.gif

After Sam weighed in and could eat or drink something, we all ate dinner together at the Mirage. Mirage.gif

At the Wrestling tournament - Samantha won her first two matches! Wrestling.gif

Finally paid the high entry to see the Star Trek Experience (totally worth it) and rode the simulations with Borg and Klingon themes. After buying a Vulcan shirt, a Klingon pointed out the Klingon shirts that I should get instead, ha! Live Long and Prosper. Star_Trek.gif
The Hilton not only has a great sports book and the Star Trek Experience, but also TAIKO! Taiko.gif
And no, I did not touch it. ;)
That night downtown Big and Rich Big_Rich.gif played a free show, and there was a motor cross exposition along with the Indy race events. Fremont.gif

All in all, a great trip to Vegas with lots of singing (for some strange reason) and good luck on 40x1 spins! And the dealertainers (Michael Jackson, Prince, Louis Armstrong, Cher, etc) at the IP were pretty entertaining.
