Arrived late Friday. Mr. T met up with his brother (who drove over from Cali) for an all night cards extravaganza. I went to sleep (smart).
Saturday. Met up with the boys for breakfast and some pool time. The rest of the day was a bit of a blur of food, sun, casino and relaxing. It was an early night since the boys were up all night the previous night. They got pretty tired around dinner time, as evidenced below.
After being in Vegas for all of about 2 hours, we were on the search for some good beer sampling. Luckily we found Public House. The bartender was a beer lover, so we chatted with him for a while. He suggested several IPAs for us to try.....
Sunday I got the best pool spot. I ran into some friends from work, so it was great to relax and catch up. I also was reading "The Magicians" - I thought it would be good to have a old-school book to bring to the pool vs an ebook.
The three of us grabbed a superb lunch at BLT Burger in the Mirage. Of course I had the BBQ Brisket. Yum!
Late afternoon and evening I ran into handfuls of people attending the conference that I haven't seen in ages. I caught up with lots of folks over a beer while the boys gambled gambled gambled.
Monday = work. Except dinner. Mr. T and I had dinner at Dal Toro at the Palazzo -- fabulous calamari and bolgnese.
We had a prime patio table that allowed us a good view of the pirate show at Treasure Island. The sunset as we filled our bellies. So we called it an early night. Of course I had to get up early for work again on Tuesday!
Tuesday = work. Conference day. Happy Hour with the team at St. Mark's Square. Then dinner with Mr. T and my buddy Frank at Sushi Roku at Caesar's Palace. The food was ok. The company was outstanding. And the view was good too!
After dinner, we bid adieu to Frank. Mr. T and I walked up to the Bellagio to see the fountain show. The show started just after we arrived. It was short, but cool.
Wednesday we were up early, off to the airport and back in Minneapolis before we knew it.
