New Year's Eve

Today's the day we leave for Las Vegas. The spending New Year's Eve in Vegas topic started as a diversion from stuff going on with my Dad. I jokingly mentioned we would have comped rooms in Vegas and the casinos must surely be hurting if WE could get comped rooms for New Year's Eve. Well, Mikki decided she would probably be able to go and since Amy was on Christmas break from school, she would be able to go to. I called Amy on my lunch break but it was already too late. Mikki had called her and she was in. Oh dear! Having just returned from Vegas, I couldn't conceive how this would work. Bob originally told me he would stay home and I could go with the girls. But, the comped rooms don't work that way. If either one of us isn't there, we have to pay something for the rooms. So, Bob took one for the team and decided to go, too. (I know that was hard on him cuz he doesn't like Vegas very much. lol) So, I booked the hotel just in case and waited to see what would happen with the rest. I opted to book Paris since it was the nicest hotel we could get comped. Although, I told Mikki Imperial Palace because she has a soft spot for that hotel. And, it does smell better now.
So, fast forward four months and here we are. Our flight leaves today at 2:45 and arrives at 4:20. We are really upset about the temperatures. I mean really? Only in the low 50's? I guess we'll manage since Saturday, when we return, it will be -10.
On our agenda is, Downtown tonight and a comedy club, Ellis Island and Karaoke Wednesday, Thursday fireworks (the strip is closed to traffic and they shoot fireworks off of the rooftops of 10 hotels.), Friday spa maybe and Saturday we are home. I would really like to see the new Aria hotel in CityCenter. I'll post tons of pictures like always. Until then, have a great week and HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!
