Vegas Wedding

My brother got married in April of 2018 to a really wonderful woman, and they decided to have the ceremony at a wedding chapel in Las Vegas.  Elvis was not involved.

We flew down the morning of the wedding and came back the next day, and stayed at the Park MGM hotel on the strip.  In the evening after the wedding, we all had dinner at Nine Fine Irishmen in New York-New York, walked around the Bellagio, then on to see Cirque du Soleil's Beatles LOVE show at the Mirage.  Fun times!

Vegas/Pet Shop Boys - Day 1

Last week we took a short trip to Las Vegas to see the Pet Shop Boys in concert.  We're big fans and always catch them on tour, but this year they didn't come to Dallas.  What to do?  Well...

The Vegas show was the first U.S. stop on their SUPER tour.  We flew out the day before the concert and flew home the day after.

Las Vegas/Disneyland Trip - Day 1: Las Vegas

After hiking halfway across the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge to take pictures of Hoover Dam, we walked back down to the car and drove back to Las Vegas (which is only about 40-45 minutes away by the way).  As we got into town we stopped at Walmart and picked up a pack of 32 bottled waters and some snacks.  Now fully supplied, we drove to the Bellagio for our overnight stay.
