Okay, so yes I had my computer with me in Vegas last week. I brought it so photos could be downloaded. While there, I wrote up some posts on the trip. Here's the first

Monday morning in Vegas. Actually managed about 7 hours sleep which is pretty good for a first night in LV, at least for me. Travel day yesterday went pretty well. Our flight was uneventful and we landed, with a thud, exactly on time. I was pleasantly surprised at how smoothly everything went. We were checked in and sitting in our room at the Trop just over an hour after wheels down. Was unpleasantly unsurprised by the 106 heat. Insert dry heat/oven joke here. Shortly after we checked in we got a call saying room service was bringing up a gift for us, which turned out to be a lovely fruit and cheese plate that Pru had ordered. So nice! First food highlight: the perfect snack while chilling in the room after a long flight.

About the only thing I'd change is maybe all the driving back and forth to the airport to pick everyone up. On the one hand, it was nice to be able to meet Lisa and Pru and Rob when they got in. But I did start to get towards the raggedy end as the evening wore on. Unfortunately, Sarah and I were the only ones to get in on time. Everyone else had their flights delayed so lots of hurry up and wait.

Second food highlight: Dinner at Burger Bar in Mandalay Place. It was a bit too much on the noisy sportsbar tip when we got there (around 8.30) due to the Mavs/Heat game still being on. But once the group of fans at the bar decided they weren't going to hang on for OT, it quieted down. A Lot. Anyway, the burgers were amazing. Sarah and Lisa both had variations on a bacon cheeseburger - you can design your own with a staggering array of choices in all categories (meat, bun, cheese, many, many kinds of toppings). I got a bit funky and had a lamb burger with provolone, prosciutto and pesto. Fantastico!! Oh, and they have about 20 beers on tap. I had the Burger Bar Unfiltered Amber. Which I assume is contract-brewed for them by someone who really knows what they're doing. I love a good amber ale.
