Heath's Random Thoughts

Vegas, Here We Come!

These winter months tend to drag this time of year so Kelly and I were talking and it turns out she has a couple of company holidays over the next month or so. One on MLK day and another on Presidents day. We thought this might be a great time to get a quick get away in to help fight that cabin fever. After kicking around a few ideas we settled on Vegas. Neither one of us have been there in a long time and it's the perfect destination if you only want to get away for a couple of days. Because if you have ever been to Vegas, its a great time but after about the 3rd day you start to get burned out on it. I know first hand because I spent a week there for work once and after awhile the glitz and glam wore me out!

Since Kelly has a school function the Saturday of MLK weekend that ruled out that time frame which brought us to President's Day weekend, which also falls over Valentines Day. Unfortunately, I don't have that Monday off but I have a number of vacation days stored away so I could afford to take the time off. So we started looking around and came across some decent deals on flights and hotel stays. After we determined we wanted to stay close to the action on the strip we finally settled on staying at The Signature at MGM Grand. The nice thing about this place is that it has nice big suites for rooms with a ton of upgraded amenities and does not have a casino in it. Plus, it is a non smoking facility which is hard to come by in Vegas! But if we do want to gamble a bit there are a ton of Casinos within walking distance. Here is a picture of one the rooms that we will be staying in. Also, we lucked out and found direct flights to and from Vegas that would allow us to leave after work on Friday and return by 3:30PM on Monday. Trust me, this is harder to find than you might think unless you are willing to pay a lot more. Now we have something to look forward to in February. We are both pretty excited. It should be fun!
