"What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas". And they can have it all.
Each time I go there I am reminded why I hate that city. We stayed at the Hilton because our Fibrenew Conference was being held there. As we walked the 500 yards from our room elevator to the conference room we had to pass through the casino lobby and bar. My hair smelt like I had been standing around a camp fire just from passing by all the brain-dead-smoking-slot-players. One day of creepy old men looking at me funny, having a head ache from the second hand smoke and neon lights is enough for me. Maybe if we had time to take in a show or at least visit the gift shop in the Venetian (my fav hotel) that would have turned the trip around for me.
The Conference was good, though. It was great to meet other franchise owners and swap stories and technique ideas. But, I'm still glad these meetings are just a once a year deal. 
The one time Olen will ever be excited to be dressed like me...
There's no place like home.
I am glad... I'm not the only person who HATES Vegas too!! Ugh it is awful!!
ReplyDeleteYeah for spending time with the hubby...a long drive and long talks are always great!!
The only thing worse then going to Vegas with your spouse is letting them go without you! Grrrr.....Duerk's going in a week and I hate to think of all the trash he'll see without me to cover his eyes every 30 seconds. :( At least you got the talk time in. ;)
ReplyDeletei have never even been there! i always wanted to see the freak awesome sign that says WELCOME TO LAS VEGAS! though. like on the movies.
ReplyDeleteGUESS WHAT! i interviewed with a family for a nanny job who live at ironwood and ocotillo! so if i get this job we can have play dates ALL THE TIME! yay!!!!!
Beth - Oh the fun we would have!
ReplyDeleteI have heard from others that there is much to see in Vegas, but I have a hard time seeing past all the smoke also. At least you got to spend quality time with your hubcap.
ReplyDeleteOh sad that you didn't get to go to the Venetian, that's my favorite too! Yay for being home though. There's no place like home!
ReplyDeleteWow. I LOVE going to Vegas! I have never even played one slot machine or anything, but I still have an awesome time everytime I go. You have to go with a very different mind set. You need to expect the smoke and things like that, and just avoid it as much as possible. There are SO MANY awesome things to see there and it's a shame that a lot of people miss out on those things just because they think "Vegas" and the rep it has. I recommend everyone visit there at least once!
ReplyDeleteOk, Tember. Next time I go with you.
ReplyDeleteThe only time I have been to Vegas was when I was coming back to Utah and we had a little detour. I wasn't impressed at all. It felt really dirty and I never even got out of the car. There just doesn't seem like there is a lot for a little Mormon girl to do there.
ReplyDeleteOH KATIE!! You would be surprised! There are SO many cool things there! I have been there for dance conventions and all sorts of stuff and there are tons of things for a little mormon girl to do! The water show at the Belagio is AWESOME and the shark encounter at Mandalay bay is really cool (don't worry you don't get near any of them!) and there is an awesome display at Cesar's palace and there is a HUGE M&M factory, I could go on and on!!!
