"Vegas" Trip Report

Sorry for the Delay:

We had a flight out of Montgomery at 5:20 on Friday. We actually sat next to one of D's co-worker's on that flight. We had a couple hour lay-over so we had a little dinner and waited for our flight.

We got ready to board and I ask the guy at the counter about upgrades. For a nominal fee we were seated in first class. We watched "The Social Network" and read a liitle. We landed around 11:45 and headed to Bally's. We had a little trouble checking in, but eventually got it handled.

Saturday morning we got up and headed to Mirage to met and with Robyn and her boyfriend. We ate at BLT burger and caught up with them. We headed back to Bally's to hit the sportsbook to watch the NFL games. D's friend Bryan and his group made it and we were all there except Bub and "Aunt Amy", but they were there soon. I went to hang with them at the roulette wheel and dusted off a buy-in.

Sunday morning I laid around and got ready for that slate of NFL games before we met Rob's group at the Hilton book. We decided that Sunday night we would see "Love" at the Mirage. It's the Cirque show of Beatles music. Two words sum it up "Absolutely Amazing". After the show I was done.

D and that group got up to head to Glendale Monday morning. I got an email when I woke up that our flight home had been cancelled. I finally spoke to somebody and they said it would be Thursday instead of Tuesday getting home. DeAnn's friend worked a deal to get us home on Tuesday but it was gonna be rough. I settled in the sportsbook to watch the Auburn game. After they won Robyn, Abbas, and I played blackjack until it was time for me to get us packed.

Our new flight left at 6:30 am so I had us semi-packed when DeAnn got back at 3. She got a shower because we both figured it would be a long day. We checked out at 4:30 and saw the light on the strip in the early morning. Our plan was to go to Salt Lake and have a small lay-over, then on to Atlanta. In SLC it was 11 degrees and I had NO jacket. We made our connection and tried to sleep as we both didn't the previous night. We made it to Atlanta and really didn't think we would get home. The airport was a ghost town like I had never seen. Our flight was supposed to leave at 7:30 but we finally got off the ground at 8:30. We landed safely in Montgomery and pulled into the house at 9:45 Bama time.

We ended up having a great time even tough all I did was lose. Auburn won DeAnn was stoked even though she didn't get in the game. Now we are both back to the grind. Hope you guys enjoy the read.
