Viva Las Vegas! July 2017

Welcome!

July 13 to July 16, 2017

Another trip!!  This trip was for my side hustle job with a great company called KEEP Collective. 

We had a Thursday evening flight to Las Vegas via Delta Airlines, it was a nice smooth ride.  We took a taxi to our accommodation for the trip, Polo Towers.  We were on the 15^th floor and were rewarded with a great view of the strip.

The KEEP Collective “Hoopla” took place next door at the MGM Grand Convention Center. It was about a 20 minute walk – the hotels/casinos are so massive! 

Bellagio Fountains

My lunch break was long enough that we were able to get some lunch at the Stage Deli, which was right in the MGM Grand. I had the Rueben and it was very good. On Friday night, we had dinner with my team at Carmine’s Italian Restaurant in the Forum Shops at Caesar’s Palace. It was an Italian Family Style restaurant.  The food was okay.  After dinner, we got to see the fountains at the Bellagio. We had attempted to do a few other things but, we should have booked them in advance.

My training sessions ended on Saturday evening.  We ate at Nine Fine Irishmen at the New York-New York Hotel & Casino that evening and it was tasty.  It was getting late (time zone change caught up to us) so we just headed back to Polo Towers and called it a night.

We took Lyft to get to the airport for our mid-morning flight.  It was our first time using Lyft and it worked really well. It was a little cheaper than a taxi.  We flew Spirit home and again were pleasantly surprised about the leg room on the plane.
