It's Vegas, baby!


To celebrate Matt's masters and to start our family vacations again, the boys wanted to go to Vegas. So Matt, Shannon (Matt's girlfriend), Joey and I along with Uncle Fred are hitting the strip staying at The Hotel at Mandalay Bay. It is a suite hotel complete with robes in the closet as well as a separate living area with flat screen tv's in both the bedrooom and living area and a small flat screen in the bathroom. Very "suite"!!!
No problems in arriving and was able to check in as soon as we arrived. Met up with Fred who arrived the previous night and left his luggage with the bell hop till we arrived. Went to Wal Mart to get some things like snacks and water and gatorade and beer??!! Ate at Del Taco since we were so hungry. Watched the world cup final--Spain won in the sports bar.
Temperatures are in the 100's and sunny all week expected. So we went to the pool to check out the 5 pools--3 regular and 1 wave pool and 1 lazy river ride. The boys met up with neighbor from across the street Ryan Wittrup and also met up with Matt Mickas and Bryan Schoeholz at his bachelor party. Shannon, Fred and I walked about half the strip.
However, the highlight was going to the top of our hotel which has a restaurant and lounge on the 64th floor. The views are spectacular of Vegas especially all lit up at night.
