Las Vegas

My dad came for a visit and we decided to take the 5 hour drive to Las Vegas to try our luck! We started off HOT! Here's Dad trying his luck at the MGM on some Wheel of Fortune (our favorite slot machine).
Dad and I with the wonderful Tropicana in the background (haha). We went to see Love at the Mirage followed by a classic Vegas buffet. We seemed to lose our luck gambling after the show.
Finished the weekend with a champagne brunch. Cheers! We were happy to make back our money and came out pretty even all in all.
We made a stop at the Hoover Dam on the trip back to Phoenix. The water seemed very low. You can see the white rock behind us where the water if usually up to. We took the long route and drove through Flagstaff before getting back to Phoenix.

Wowza! And to think...on the other coast, mom & I working putting dad more in the red by spending $$ all over Manhattan! :) Glad we each got a "parent weekend"--only a month until we're all together in PHX! Thank goodness we're not all staying in your 1-bedroom apt!
