A few weeks ago, I learned that I had won a trip to Vegas through work. It was a working vacation, but it was a blast.
Last Saturday, Krista and Claire drove me to Chenoa, where I carpooled with a coworker to Midway airport. After an early Sunday morning flight, we were picked up by a limo and taken to
The Paris Hotel. We had an amazing lunch, and were off to see the sights on the strip. That evening we had appitizers in the hotel suite, and went to the
Peppermill lounge for drinks.
On Monday we were in meetings until about 1 pm, and had more free time that afternoon. Monday night we ate at
Todd English's Olives, one of the premier restaruants in Vegas overlooking the
Bellagio Fountains.
Tuesday morning we had another brief meeting, and continued to check out all the various shops, casinos, and shows around the city. That night, we had tickets
Human Nature. They were an unbelivable Motown group and put on a great show.
After the show, we hopped in a cab and went to the
VooDoo Lounge at the Rio. It is a rooftop nightclub 50 stories up. From here you can see the entire city, and it is quite a site.
Wednesday morning we got our rental cars and drove to Cedar City, UT to meet up with our agents from the western states. The drive was beautiful, and We were surrounded by 360 degrees of mountains while we worked the rest of the week.
Sunday morning, we drove back to Vegas and caught our flights back home. It was an amazing trip, but I was so excited to see my girls when I got home. I hope to take them with me next time!
