    I’m guessing the timeshare is for room size and possibly a kitchen? Seems like a solid choice with three teens in tow :) Here’s to a fun, safe, and winning time for all :thumbsup::jester:

    Hello from Las Vegas! :D

    We made great time getting to our parking and to MSP.

    20200802_145328.jpg

    At security I was pulled aside so an agent could investigate a small bulge in my cargo shorts. :eek: My bride was given a full groin massage. :eek: :eek: She said it was so intimate that she's good until our anniversary! :faint:

    I was called over to watch my backpack get opened up and investigated. :hmmm: Turns out they were suspicious of my ziplock bag of quarters. I'll have to rethink how I carry my bankroll from now on! :faint:

    20200802_150816.jpg

    20200802_145237(1).jpg

    It's been awhile since we flew to Vegas in the daylight hours! It was a beautiful day to fly!

    20200802_165728.jpg

    20200802_175325.jpg

    I received a complimentary wipe! :feedme: I brought the snacks.

    20200802_171515.jpg

    We made it! :woot:

    20200802_175158.jpg

    20200802_175722(1).jpg

    We rented a car for the first time in Vegas. The shuttle buses to the rental center were limiting the number of riders to about 16. We found our Alpertmobile for the week and rolled out. :biker:

    We found our way to the resort. After checking-in we decided to Pizza Hut it for supper.

    Sunset descends upon the @FormallyTD Canal Suite. :peace: The mattresses are gone, though! The purple ball from last year appears to have moved on, too! Vegas!

    20200802_201734.jpg

    Supper :feedme: disappeared pretty quickly! :faint:

    20200802_203610.jpg

    With the traditional pizza run already out of the way, who knows what might happen next? :ssst: We'll see what tomorrow brings! :woohoo:

    Have a great evening, everyone!

    There wasn't too long of a line at security. Even with the pat-downs we were through quickly. We thought we might have to get our temps checked and/or health surveyed so we arrived early. Nope. Just a reminder to wear masks.

    There were 3 empty seats on our flight. Minion #3 lucked out and had one of the empty seats next to her!

    I hope you have a great trip!
