Vegas


My company Christmas party was at Tabu in the MGM Grand. After a nice 2 hour delay for deicing, Skippy and I were on our way there Friday morning. Thanks to Skippy we saw Celine Dion on Friday night! I had seen the track list on the album before the show and had heard she does a few new songs but wow she did an almost entirely different set list! I had told Skip some of the songs I had hoped she'd sing and she sang almost all of them including two of my favorites by her "All The Way" and "Seduces Me". She only had seven more shows after us so she talked about ending the show which was fun to hear.

We stayed at the MGM Grand and I swear we couldn't find an American in that hotel to save our life. The boxing match was the same time as our party and one of the fighters was British and evidently brought over his whole country for backup. We'd go to breakfast at 7 am and they'd be asking for ANOTHER drink in the casino.

The actual party was a lot of fun. There was amazing looking sushi but there was wasabi right on it so I couldn't have any. You'd think the skinny beautiful people that work at those clubs would be snotty but they were actually very nice to us. Meeting my coworkers for the first time was fun and they adored Skippy as people always do.

Sunday morning we had the most amazing brunch ever at The Wynn. A nice walk back to the MGM Grand helped walk it off (they are on opposite ends of the strip) and then we were off home.
