Just like last month, time has gotten away from me, and we are almost through the month of April. John and I snuck in a little weekend trip to Vegas
The Friday we left for Vegas, we dropped the kids off at school, and then we finished packing and headed to the airport. Bryant was nice enough to give us a lift, and we were on our way. Our flight left Sioux Falls at 12:24pm and we landed in Las Vegas around 1:00pm, with the time change. We got an uber, and then headed to Park MGM, our hotel.
We lucked out with a pretty nice day when we landed. It was sunny, and a nice warm 80 degrees. We checked into our hotel, dropped off our luggage and then did some exploring. We walked the strip, bought some beers to drink while walking around, and just enjoyed ourselves. We catch a fountain show at the Bellagio, then we went inside and checked out their Botanical Gardens. They had a beautiful tea party/flower theme, and it was very pretty and smelled so good in that room. Almost everything in their display was made out of real flowers. It was really cool.
After the botanical gardens, we were getting pretty hungry, so we ate some lunch at Nacho Daddy's. We got a surf and turf nacho to share, and I got a margarita while John got a beer. It was amazing! Then, we headed to Brew Dog, a brewery on the strip, and got a couple beers. It was a fun place, but their beer selection was a little meh for me.
After all the alcohol, we decided to head back to hotel and chill a little. Then, just for fun, we went and checked out the pools (our hotel had 3 of them) and even went for a short swim since it was so nice out. After swimming, we cleaned up, and then headed to the Minnesota Wild Hockey Game. One of the reasons we booked this trip when we did was to catch a Wild game, So, we watched the Wild take on the Golden Knights. It was a really fun experience in a nice, big arena. But, it was a terrible game. The Wild lost 7-2. So, we left after the second period. We walked around a while to see the strip at night. We also stopped at New York New York and grabbed a big slice of Pizza, and then eventually we headed back to the hotel at call it a night. We were pretty tired after all that, but we had a great first day.
