Las Vegas Getaway

Thursday night, Greg and I went to the airport for our flight to Las Vegas. Greg had been many times before, but this was my first trip to Sin City. When we arrived at the airport, WIVK was there doing a promotion for the airline. (We were on the "maiden" flight for this airline from Knoxville to Las Vegas.) Greg registered to participate in a contest of craps to win $5,000. He was competing with other contestants to have the best roll with giant dice labeled with the letters V-E-G-A-S. No one won the $5,000, but Greg did have the best roll and won two airline tickets to Las Vegas, which means----we're going back! Our flight left late and we got to LV around 9:00. We rented our car in the airport--a spiffy little mustang convertable--and headed to the Bolder City Hotel and Casino where we were staying for our first night. By the time we got there we were exhausted, we had both worked that day and it seemed to us like it was 1:00 a.m. (it was in Maryville) but it was only 10:00. When we woke up the next day, the weather was wonderful. So we headed to Hoover Dam. PHOTOS
