Viva Las Vegas

Cheers!  I don’t make it out to Las Vegas very often.  But whenever I do, I’m sure to have a good time.  This trip was actually really last minute.  I was on a family ski vacation in Utah when I realized that the car ride home would pass right through Las Vegas.  As a joke, I said to my brother that I was planning to abandon ship in Sin City. But the more I thought about it, the less of a joke it became.  I realized I could hop out in Vegas and then easily catch a plane flight back to LA.  Shortly after coming to this realization, I booked my flight and my weekend plans were set in motion!

Well, not all my plans were set.  I showed up in Vegas with no hotel.  This is typical of the way I plan vacations.  Everything is last minute.  Thankfully the Las Vegas Strip has no shortage of hotels ready for booking so I scored a room at The Wynn casino without too much difficulty. 

When I arrived in Vegas, I was basically wearing snowboard gear.  I picked up this cheap suit for about $100 to avoid spending the weekend looking like an abominable snowman.

“That’ll be $80 for the lunch buffet.”  Okay, when I’m by myself somehow an $80 lunch seems less appealing.  I asked the server if I could pretend like I’m going to order something long enough to snap a pic.  Thankfully, she was cool with it and didn’t kick me out.  P.S. What dance club used be housed in this location?  I loved it back in the early 2000s.

Here’s some next level tourist action.  I had to wait in line for about 30 minutes to get a shot at the sign.  Was it worth it?  Maybe.
