Las Vegas Round 2

I clearly had such a great time with the Zurich girls in Vegas in January that I accidentally and inadvertently convinced the Colorado girls to have our next girls weekend there. Given I was just there I was actually contemplating sitting this one out. But then FOMO set in when the plans started to firm up. Oh hell I was in. 

The two day “weekend” of Sunday through Tuesday was shaping up in a very similar way from the January trip. Nice dinners in the casino of residence (this time the Wynn),  a spa day, some shopping and a super early flight home Tuesday morning. 


Dinners were amazing, shopping was a bust (I wasn’t looking to buy but the other 3 women came in with very large budgets and very long lists of items to buy but left with nothing), the spa was incredibly relaxing (being a Monday morning probably helped although I will say the amenities at the Aria were more conducive for a full day) and my flight home was thankfully not canceled due to doors flying off airplanes. 


We also spent some time gambling this trip. We all placed bets on the NCAA championship game (I broke even) and, come to find out, Emily is a big time gambler (although I shouldn’t have been surprised since our rooms were comped). We played craps and blackjack and lost on everything but had a great time in the process. 


With a tickle in my throat Monday morning and the threat of work looming for Tuesday I opted to not drink all day on Monday. It was the right call but I still managed to feel hungover all day on Tuesday and looked the part of someone returning from Vegas on the flight home.
