Las Vegas 2014:
Day 1
Day 1
 |
Thursday, February 13: We left Indy after work and arrived in Las Vegas at 7:00 PM. It had been 10 years since we had spent a long weekend in Las Vegas. |
 |
We got our rental car and made a beeline for Winchell's Donut House. Previously thought to be extinct, Debbie had recently discovered that a few specimens still existed in the exotic land of Nevada. |
 |
Oh my. Look at that display of goodness, including exactly two French crullers, the ultimate donut. Back in the day, a junior high shopping trip in Minnesota wasn't complete unless it ended with a Winchell's French cruller. |
 |
We checked into the MGM Grand where we had a Tower Spa Suite. |
 |
It was a huge room with separate bedroom and living area plus windows all along one side. |
 |
The bathroom was enormous, ... |
 |
... and the garden tub put the "spa" in Tower Spa Suite. |
 |
Once settled in, we finally got to eat the Winchell's goodness. Yes, the cruller was just as delicious as Debbie remembered. That chocolate donut was crazy delicious too. |
 |
Our friends were staying in a suite on the top floor of the Signature at MGM Grand, so we headed over there to spend some time with them. |
 |
This is the only photo of this event. Check tomorrow's page for photos of both the friends and the suite. |
 |
It was about a 15-minute walk from their suite in the Signature to our suite in the Tower. We were staying at the very end of this very, very long Tower hallway. |
 |
Here's the view of the airport from our room. Not very impressive, but very, very green. |
