Fun in Vegas

Recently, three guys from the Burger house, Jason, Mike, Tim (and myself) took off for a trip to Las Vegas. Everything went smoothly at the airport and on the airplane ride.  Everyone was very excited to arrive!

When we got to our hotel room, the guys decided to go out for supper. After supper, we headed for the Monte Carlo Casino where Lance Burto, Master Magician, performs.  We got tickets in the 3rd row! The show was excellent. The guys kept saying, “I guess that is why he is the Master Magician!”  After the show, we walked back to our hotel. Everyone was tired and ready for a good night sleep.
 

 

 

We started out the second day early. We were up by 6:00am. We walked to the Luxor Casino for breakfast. After breakfast, we spent the morning walking around from casino to casino sight-seeing and shopping for souvenirs.  Each of the guys found a t-shirt they wanted and a gift for one of their roommates. After lunch and a short rest at the hotel, the guys decided that they wanted to go to see Dirk Arthur, another magician who uses a lot of tigers in his show. 


The show was awesome! The guys really enjoyed the tricks with the tigers.  After the show, Mike went up to Dirk Arthur and put his arm around him and told him he was “awesome”!  Dirk laughed and told him, "Thank you".
 
Next, we headed to a “Tournament of Kings” show.  This show is unique because audience members get to enjoy dinner while watching Knights fight on horses and on foot. However, the dinner is not just an ordinary one. Guests have to eat all of their food without using any utensils- just like Medieval Times! The crowd is also split into sections, and you cheer for the knight that is assigned to your area.  The guys really enjoyed cheering for our knight. It was spectacular show that lasted about 1 ½ hours. Everyone left with huge smiles on their faces. After a long, eventful day, we were ready for a restful night sleep at the hotel.


Once again, we got up early. We made it to the airport by 6:00am to catch our plane back home. During our flight, Mike told me that he had a great time, but he was ready to go home because he really missed his cat, Tiger.  Everyone agreed that they were glad to be heading home, but they did not miss the snow while they were gone.

Shortly after arriving home, the three guys were sitting on the couch talking to me about the Las Vegas trip and all of the sudden it was quiet. I looked over and all three of them were asleep sitting on the couch.  It was really funny to see them “happily worn out from their vacation”.
