Work Trip

With Casey's line of work, you don't get perks of leaving town for business.

Unless it's to pour concrete up at an empty lot for a cabin somewhere. 

He has an old missionary companion friend in Utah that makes trailers.
 Casey orders his work trailers through him.

Most of the time we luck out and get the trailers delivered to AZ by someone who is coming
down anyway for one reason or the other. 

This time the farthest it could be delivered was to Las Vegas.
Casey asked if we wanted to make it a quick get-a-away to go pick it up.
  I said absolutely! 

Totally can be called a work trip, right?

We dropped the kids off at the bus for school and headed on out of town.

It's an easy 5 hour drive.

With no potty breaks for kids we were on the strip in no time at all.

We were starving, so we found a place I have wanted to try, Hash House A Go Go.

It was in the Harris hotel.

Boy does the smell of casino cigarette smoke hit ya hard!

Welcome to Vegas:)

We checked into Treasure Island and knew we needed a nap before our big night life started.
We are pathetic old people!
I can't think of the last time I fell asleep at 3pm was. It was lovely. 

Vegas was quite the happening place that weekend.
Sema car show, some big boxing fight and just our luck, the PBR!

We were on our way to the rodeo!

After it was over we decided to walk our way down the strip back to our hotel.
We popped in to the Cosmopolitan hotel for a midnight (literally) snack.
I wanted to try some pizza that was also on my list. 

It's called Secret Pizza. And for good reason.
We couldn't find it!
Probably because they purposely don't put the name of it on the wall.
It's down a secret hallway on the 3rd floor.
Hence, Secret Pizza

After some help, we located it and got in the ginormous line.
Big time late night munchies going on in Vegas!

It really did hit the spot, good pizza for sure!

 For dessert we tried some treat and ice cream and Milk that was also in the hotel.
We tossed the ice cream after 1 bite, tasted like frozen barf.
But the buttermilk pie, that was some good stuff!

We slept in and were lazy all morning.
Put our bags in the truck and headed for my most
 absolute FAVORITE thing to do while in Vegas.
Eat at the Wynn buffet!!!!!!

We died and went to food coma heaven. 
This place is just unreal. 

We walked down the strip and got some baked goods from Carlos bakery to take home to the kids.
They love watching his show on tv.

We did the High Roller at the Linq.
It's pretty cool being up so high and checking out the city from above!

Then time to pick up the trailer.
My dad has an office in Vegas.
One of his employers son in law had a big yard we were
able to keep the trailer in until we could get it. 
They were such nice people. 

Pink box donuts was also on my list.
Had to grab a couple dozen to share once we got home!

 

And we could NOT leave town without hitting up Nielsens Frozen custard!
It is pretty embarrassing how much food we bought and consumed in a short 24 hour
window of time!
But when it is our favorite ice cream, and you can't get it at home, you sacrifice:)

Gotta rub it in to some family members by sending a picture, ha!
