i had a great time. spamalot was very funny, the seats, second row center were perfect, and worth every penny. red rock canyon is gorgeous and the drive and hiking areas were well maintained. the hotel we stayed at was harrahs, center strip was very nice, the bathroom there is larger then my bathroom here (sigh) and the room faced west, so as the sunrise happened, i got to see mountains slowly light up, very cool to a flatlander in ohio. the casinos are all different, wynns and bellagio are very elegant, casino royale was a little more blue collar, and i won money, and kept it at harrahs, so i really liked them. 2 off strip restaurants, stood out; mimis, near red rock canyon had an excellent brunch and blueberry hill, a small local chain does good pancakes and burgers. southwest got us and our luggage, there and back on time and in one piece.
today i did laundry, groceries and played with some very happy critters. and, best of all, i still have 3 more days off.
