Message: [QUOTE="ChrisCourt, post: 5190318, member: 8344"] Ok, here's my thoughts and two cents, for what they're worth. Last Tuesday, I work from home per a normal Tuesday for me. The wife comes home from work, earlier than normal. I say hey what's up? Mind you, this whole time I am thinking that we are going to drive to MD for a wedding of one of her friends, so that is where my mindset is and was at. She says: change of plans, were not going to a wedding. me: puzzled and say: huh?? She then says there is no wedding, and I'm like oh what happened? Did the groom bail?? haha jk She then says no, we are going to Vegas. I said, saaay what?!? She says yes, and we are going to the game also, in a suite! I said NO WAY!!! SWEEEET!!! She goes, go pack your bags, we are leaving at 5:30! This was Tuesday night. So, we fly out to Vegas Tuesday evening. Connecting in Charlotte, eat the usual airport grub, and grab some snacks for the plane. We get to our hotel in Vegas (We stayed at Mandalay Bay) go to our room, and it's masssive! Very impressed. Wednesday, we chill all day by the beach pool, in a day bed, which was fantastic! We drink some pricey drinks, but they're amazing and so what! LOL we do a little slot playing, and lose cash. Not shocked there. We then go to the Bellagio that night for some more gambling, and to catch the water show. Which was great as well. Eat dinner at Michael Mina's restaurant, which was VERY pricey, but overall good. I'm more of a burger, beer & wings guy!! Thursday, is set up to be the same thing as Wednesday, just a chill day. To my surprise, my brother and his wife show up also, and say surprise!!! Now, I'm like WOW!! We again, eat and drink poolside. They really take care of you, once you're poolside, no question about it! We then go to the Sphere, great Earth show, but after the show, my take away is that humans flat out suck, and we truly should take better care of this planet! But otherwise, the Sphere is amazing! Game day - we get up, eat come bagels, coffee cake & have coffee at a place called Citizens. Small diner-ish place but it was perfect. We then grab lunch & then proceed to get ready for the game. We make the trek over to the stadium, not a bad walk at all, but by then the drinks are hitting us all pretty good, LOL. We get into the stadium (finally) and head up to the suite we were in. The buffet and drink setup, was amazing!! We were told that for NFL games, this suite costs average around 25K. WOW!!! The game, I can't say enough about Coach Brown and the players, we came to PLAY and play we did!!! The energy was electric from the SU side! Zero voice after the game! UNLV fans were pretty good, but I was asked how much did we pay the refs off, and I say it's about time we get a call in our favor! ;-) We basically party all night long at the House of Blues, which seemed to turn into the House of Orange!!! We then relax all day Saturday, poolside again for recovery efforts! Plenty of H2o to be drank! We ate at a steakhouse called Stripsteak and it was impressive, VERY good!!!!! I simply love the fact that so many SU fans turned out for the game, it was shocking. But in a great way! We got back last night, and to think it's now Monday... ugggghhh. Definitely have the Monday blues... On to NC State! Bring on the Wolfpack! GO ORANGE!!!!! P.S. [B]HUGE[/B] Thank you to my wife, who had this arraigned for several months as a preview to my 50th birthday, which isn't until February. I won the wife lotto folks........ [/QUOTE]
