    My Trip Report

    Finally getting the courage up to try a live report. No guarantees, not sure I can keep up with it, but we're gonna give it a go.

    Landing Sun evening with wife, daughter and two of daughter's male friends, but not boyfriends, in tow. Both of my daughter's friends are Vegas virgins. Wife and I are mid-50s, "kids" are early 20s. Suite at Elara Sun-Thurs nights, kids fly home Friday. Wife and I have two nights comped at Venetian Thurs-Sat. Only solid plans are Gordon Ramsey Steak and Raiding the Rock Vault, plus teaching the young ones a bit about scotch and lots of VP for me/slots for the wife. The kids are going to Hakkasan the night before they leave.

    Tapatalk loaded, pic upload tested, 90 hours until touchdown....

    Don't fret over the two hour delay, it is getting rid of the bad juju early. Best of luck to you!
