Two weeks ago I went with Ryan and the rest of the Avanade gang to Las Vegas for their regional flyback weekend. It was a pretty awesome trip and it was the first time I stayed off the Strip. I was skeptical at first, but soon found Red Rock to be one of my new favorite Vegas hotels.
To keep it brief, on Thursday and Friday while the guys were in their meetings, myself and the other significant others hit the pools, spa(!), lounges, and oyster bar inside the hotel. Afterward, we’d join them at their evening events, which included a poolside talent show party, bowling, plenty of good food and a lot of open bar. Overall, we had the chance to just enjoy all the hotel had to offer, which ended up being a blast, as well as being relaxing.
On Saturday, the 9 of us had plans to stay at New York, New York. Ryan and I hung out mainly around there, which worked out well. I think in the past I’ve spent entirely too much energy walking aimlessly up and down the Strip rather than really doing anything. Our half of the group did a little shopping, hit the casino, had dinner, saw shows, and ate dinner again FTW.
Sunday was short but still good. We visited the tables at New York, New York with the last of our chips and I later met up with my cousins for brunch with Rufino before heading out to the airport. Overall, great trip, one of my favorites to Vegas, which says much given how much I find myself there. 🙂
