Las Vegas Player's Showcase


Allison and I drove out to Las Vegas for her Player's Showcase tournament.  We did a quick pit stop at the Seven Magic Mountains on the way out.  
 Such a random display in the middle of nowhere!
We checked into our hotel and the took and Uber to meet Leslie and Larky at The Venetian/Pallazo hotels for dinner.
We also ate the most expensive cookies and cannolis at Carlo's Bake Shop!
The next morning we filled up on the biggest breakfast at Blueberry Hill.  So good!
Allison's game wasn't until 4:00pm, so we spent a few hours touring Red Rock Canyon.

 We didn't want to do too much hiking so mostly drove to the route markers along the way to get the best scenic views.
 Kat and Heinrich from KWU came to watch Allison play today!  We had a great visit with them after the game and they had the nicest things to say about Allison's play and their interest in her playing at KWU!  They sure know how to make a girl feel special!
 We spent the evening at the Fremont Street Experience.
I think it was extra crowded since it was St. Patrick's Day weekend, but we saw things you can't unsee!  What a great people watching venue!   
We ate dinner in the Golden Nugget and loved checking out their awesome pool area!  There is a water slide that goes right through this shark tank!
One more game tomorrow and then on the road back home...
