Viva Las Vegas! Last month Sean and I attended a wedding in Las Vegas. It was suppose to be a quick weekend trip to Vegas for the wedding and reception, but the day before we were suppose to leave I found out that I'd have to go to Vegas that Monday for a site visit for work to meet a vendor we'd be working with for the show. So I was looking at: flying to Vegas Friday night and flying back Sunday night - only to get back on a plane Monday morning to go back to Vegas. Rather than fly back Sunday night and spend 10 hours in Orange County before having to head back to the city of sin, I opted to extend my stay and switch my return flight to Monday.
Rather than give you the boring stories of dealing with a somewhat inept Orbitz customer service rep - I'll skip straight to the good stuff. I was able to upgrade to a suite for $50. That's $50 total, not per night. Upon reaching the room and realizing the bathroom was the size of our living room and that I could lay completely down completely flat in the tub, we were giddy.
The rest of the trip can be summed up like this: Katie spent more money in the gift shop on sudafed, kleenex, vick's vapor rub and chloraseptic than she lost gambling. Craps is our new favorite game. Some buffets are worth $40 a person. The Wynn is a gorgeous hotel. And any place that gives you free drinks for standing around throwing dice gets a thumbs up in my book.
