Mile High City to Sin City

We are literally on the home stretch now. Craziness. We got into Denver on Tuesday afternoon, and we hung out at the mall/apple store while we waited for our friend Alina to get off work. Once she did, we met up with her at the Cherry Cricket, where we also met up with our friend Matt, and we ate and got drinks till midnight or so. We also had the long awaited meeting of her boyfriend Kenny. Pretty cool guy; I approve :).  

After that night, we woke up and headed over to the Coor's Brewery. On the way, we stopped at the red rock ampitheater, which is literally a theater that has been put into the side of a mountain. It was quite the site to behold.  From there, we headed over to the "Biggest" brewery in the world.  It was interesting, though the audio tour dragged on at several parts.  We got some free samples, but the guys had too much beer the night before, and the girls don't drink much beer, so we ended up only having a couple samples each.   From there, we headed over to Wash Park, where we enjoyed margarita bottles and played some Boccie ball.  I won, of course.  After that, we went to Casa Bonita to realize a dream of mine since it was shown on my favorite show of all time, South Park. Well lets just say that SP kind of exaggerated how awesome it was. And by exaggerated, I mean they lied to me. The food was really bad and we had to buy a dinner to get in. The divers weren't that great, and Black Bart's cave was pretty lame. Overall, it was disappointing, but we were with good friends, so it wasn't too bad. 

This morning, we grabbed breakfast with Alina and Kenny before we started the long drive to Vegas.  We did 3 hour shifts, so it wasn't too bad, but Utah is freaking lame. There is literally 100 miles between food and gas places. It's just alotttttt of mountains and plains, which get old pretty quick.  Once we got into Vegas, we got stuck in really bad traffic, and after moving a quarter of a mile in half an hour, we hoped off and took surface streets to our first In n Out in a month. mmmmmm. After that, we checked in to suite in MGM Grand, which we got thanks to my players card. And it is niceeeee. The shower is huge, and there is a TV in the bathroom mirror.  The bed is also nice, and the set up of the room is awesome.  We went down to New York New York, where we did some gambling. Kristal ended up down 40 on the session, and I was down 60. Going to put down some Super Bowl bets tomorrow. Thinking the Bengals at 22/1, Texans at 28/1, and Packers at 8/1.  I'm not sure though I might just bet on teams to win the AFC rather then the SB. Gonna check those odds. 

Tomorrow, we head home. Its been a wild ride, and you can expect a lot of lists of the favorite things we have done, eaten, and various other wrap up type posts. Thanks for reading!
