This is the story of my adventure. I walk hand-in-hand with the One who holds my past, present, and future. And every day, I pray for the ability to be Tandy.

Vegas, Baby!
Hey, y'all!
So at the end of June, I went to Vegas with my boss and her mother to attend HD Vest's annual financial conference. I wrote a blog post about it for work - you can read it here: https://lyncotax.wordpress.com/2017/07/24/what-happens-in-vegas/
And yes, I just linked to my work blog. #SEO #Marketing #Followtheclicks
This was my first time in Vegas, and I had a BLAST! (Although I did miss my hubby like cray and sometimes I wished I had more than $10 to blow on video poker, but c'est la vie.)
For the first two days, we stayed on the strip at a hotel named Harrah's - the conference we attended was a short walk away at the Wynn/Encore (pictured above). I did a little shopping when I first got there and bought this really cute outfit for .... way more money than I'm used to spending. And then, of course, when I got home, I accidentally washed and dried the pants that were hand wash only, and they shrank about 2 sizes and 3 inches in length :'(
But that's okay, because life happens.
Aaaaaand, did I mention we got to see Sugar Ray Leonard speak?! That was a pretty cool day for me.
After the first two days, we moved to Sam's Town, which is a little bit off the beaten path as far as Vegas is concerned, but I absolutely LOVED the whole hotel!
I went and saw a movie by myself FOR THE FIRST TIME! I'll give you two guesses as to what movie it was - either "47 Meters Down" with Mandy Moore or "Despicable Me 3" with the minions. Which do you think it was? Because honestly, until I walked up to the ticket booth, I was still going back and forth.
Other fun things I did whilst in Vegas - gambled $10 (I lost it all...oh well), went to Fremont Street (it was during the day, so I wasn't that traumatized), and ate some kick-butt buffet dinners (I may or may not have gained a good 5 lbs on the trip). Oh, and I got to take a picture with a million bucks. No big deal.
Anyway, so that's pretty much it. What do you think? Have you been to Vegas? What was your favorite thing you did while you were there?

Was it 47 Meters Down, and if yes, was it good? I kindof wanted to see that one.
ReplyDeleteI've been to Las Vegas, and my favorite thing was the fountain/light show they do on the strip. :)
It was actually "Despicable Me 3," because I was too much of a coward to watch "47 Meters Down" by myself. In conclusion, we should watch it together ;)
DeleteIs the fountain/light show you're talking about at the Bellagio? Because I didn't get a chance to see that :(
Yes at the Bellagio, and YES let's go! :)
