Viva Las Vegas

Wow - it's been a while since my last post - apologies - however, I have a good excuse - I've been super busy having tons of fun. Doing what you may wonder? Well, I'll use the next few posts to show you.

So, starting from the top:
What: My trip to Las Vegas (I was attending a buying/trade show for work, with a co-worker, Caroline)
When: July 31 - Aug 3rd
Where we stayed: The Flamingo (right on the strip)
I know it appears that we just goofed off, but we really did work, and we had a great show/buying trip accomplishing everything that was on "my list"!

At New York New York, there is a bar called Nine Fine Irishmen - they had a live Irish folk band that played every night and it turned into one of our favorite stops! The second night, we managed to meet 2 Fine Irishmen - HAHA!! (Mr. Guinness and his friend, Mr. Guinness!)

Me and Caroline

The first night in Vegas, we went to "Tony and Tina's Wedding" (an off-Broadway production where you participate in the action) and sat with Tina's mom and brother. Tony's Father, Tina's Mom, and Father are shown behind our table. 

Sights along the strip - we had plenty of opportunity for photos as we ended up doing a lot of walking - from one end to the other! Who knew the Mono-rail closed at 2 am?!



Caroline hit it big - $60.00!! (Yep, that's about as high-rollers as we got!)

Hanging out at the Flamingo's Pool one evening after the show

It's 5 O'clock Somewhere!


Me and Caroline!

Caroline, shows off her, hard to get water at Dick's Last Resort. (Honestly, we could NOT get a server to get us water - finally two other customers and then the bus boy brought us some water! I realize they are supposed to be "dicks", but that was a bit ridiculous!)

On the strip....we're walking again - go figure!



As for the rest of our Vegas Adventures.....what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas!
