Ahhh - the desert: mountains, palm trees, all you can eat buffets, recirculated air, endless hallways, blinking lights, stretch pants, TV in the bathroom. I visited Vegas last week, my first time in Nevada. As we landed, I was delighted with the beautiful landscape of mountains. This is not what I pictured when I envisioned Vegas. The sky was blue and the sun exposed each crevasse of mountain. And then I turned to my first glimpse of reality, my seat mate could hardly stand up after his 12 rum and cokes and one bottle of Pinot Noir. It was noon. Welcome to Vegas.

A board meeting was two days of my four day stay in Vegas, followed by a fun weekend with one of my favorites who flew in on Friday to have girl weekend. We saw Garth Brooks and Celine in concert, tried to shop but didn't swipe the credit card once, sat by the jacuzzi at the spa for five hours of Saturday and ordered room service. The best. We tried our luck at the slots without much success. I had to try though. When in Rome. Luckily we were still able to pay our room bill. Oh, and we both had our own Vegas moments that made the trip even more hilarious in retrospect. You know you're good friends when at 2:00am she is ordering you ginger ale and asking for ice chips. I won't elaborate but let's just say there could have been food poisoning and a rash involved. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. Where shall we go next?
