Spring Break in Vegas




Gena and I spent (literally spent...$$$$$$$) our spring break in Las Vegas this year. It was both of our first times there, and it was an experience to say the least. While we agreed on the way home that it was lots of fun, neither of us feels any real need to go back any time soon. We also realized that maybe 7 days there was too long!


We were very busy during the week. We started off by going to the Hoover Dam on Sunday, which was far and away our favorite part of the entire trip. The entire structure was overwhelmingly huge, and the new Pat Tillman memorial Bridge they are constructing is a stunning feat.

Other things we did/highlights included: seeing the Belagio fountains go off every night, walking through nearly every hotel on the strip, eating at Bobby Flay's restaurant, going to Bodies: The Exhibit, seeing a Cirque du Soleil show, seeing a dolphin show, and louging at the incredible Mirage pool.


All in all it was a good time, and a nice relaxing trip for the most part. Almost forgot: another highlight was that we got to go to the Delta Sky Lounge at MSP airport for 4 hours while we waited for our flight. Can't beat free booze and snacks!
