(I decided to break this into two parts since it
was one really long post)
As usual, our Vegas Vacation was a lot of fun but
was too short. We arrived in Vegas at
7:25pm on Tuesday night and departed Vegas at 8:30am on Thursday morning. So, more time would have been awesome and yet
we might not have come home with any gambling money though.
Despite working very hard to lose almost 20 pounds,
I knew I didn’t want to micromanage my food (and alcohol) while on this
vacation. I just needed a mental break
and some time to relax. So…I did just
that! We arrived and took a taxi to our
hotel. This trip we stayed at Luxor and
booked a room in the pyramid. Staying in
the pyramid is fun because the elevators actually move sideways instead of up
and down. We had a room on the 7th
floor and our room looked out over the courtyard on the second floor. If you looked down there was a super long escalator
that took you down to the chapel. We
never spotted any brides or grooms though.
We arrived a bit too late to eat at the buffet as
Kenyon had a 2 for 1 dinner offer through My Vegas Rewards. We were debating making our way to the Wynn
to see a show but once we got to our room, we had a bit of a maintenance issue
and ended waiting a long time for maintenance who never showed…all
weekend! So, we went in search of food
FAST and decided to go back to T&T Tacos & Tequila which is where we
had eaten on a past trip. We were
debating ordering the chicken enchiladas or the chicken burrito so we ordered
both. I ended up liking the enchiladas
better. And, as usual with Mexican food,
once you fill up on chips, two meals is way too much. But it was delicious.
I changed for the evening into my new sparkly shirt
despite not going to a show. We ended up
just gambling in our casino throughout the evening. I had a couple of really good wins and ended
up playing off the houses money from there.
By the end of the night/morning, I still had my original $200 I brought
to gamble with. And I’d had a few drinks
too!
Our hotel had a 24-hour Starbucks and I really wish
we had some in Boise.
Day one ended at about 2am as we ran out of things
to do and I had felt like my gambling streak had come to an end.
