Waking Up in Vegas

So back in the fall Southwest was having a great deal on airfare so I decided to give Bryan a trip for Christmas.  Las Vegas was $30 each way so I picked a random week in January and booked us a flight.  Last week was the week!  What a great time to go.  The sun was shining the WHOLE time we were there.  People asked before we left, What are you going to do while you are there?  I would look at them strangely and answer, Nothing!

So what did we do?  Flew in Monday night. Picked up a tiny little rental car.  Stayed in Summerlin at a condo we have stayed at a few times before.  Swam laps in the pool, yes outside.  Ate breakfast in the hot tub with my elderly Canadian friends I met. Read in the hot tub.  Read by the pool. Went running without 2 layers of clothes on.  Walked around the neighborhood.  Window shopped at Prada on the strip. Drove to Red Rock Canyon. Drove around doing nothing.  Looked for good places to eat.  Looked again and didn’t find a good place to eat.  Walked to the cupcake bakery I had wanted to go to every time we stay there to find that they had gone out of business.  Bought a piece of cake at Smith’s instead.  Read some more.  Played a dollar at the new Contemporary hotel, made back 50 cents and lost it all again.  Watched the BYU vs. San Diego State basketball game in the gaming area of a casino on a gigantic screen.  Fell asleep by the pool.  Watched the cake boss a few times on TV.  Played another dollar at Red Rock Casino, made back 75 cents and lost it again.  Talked about what we would have done if I had won 100,000 dollars.   Friday afternoon returned the car and hopped on the plane to go home.

Yep that pretty much covers it.  We had a great time and so did our kids thanks to Nate and Aliska, Tiffany and my Dad and Judi watching them.
