My apologies for not being more diligent in blog updates as of late, as I've been celebrating (mourning?) my 30th birthday on November 6th. Some friends and I spent some glorious, fun filled days and nights, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
I won't bore you with the vacation artinerary but I did want to post a couple of pictures which I find pretty amazing. The first here was taken from "Mix" which sits atop "the Hotel" a part of the Mandalay Bay Casino Resort. Mandalay is at the South end of the Strip and provides some amazing views... and here is one:
Another is something that most tourists, and locals, don't ever see in Las Vegas. It's from the Neon Boneyard on the very North end of the strip past the 'old' casinos of yesteryear like '4 Queens', 'Golden Nugget', and 'Fitzgeralds' which sit along Freemont Street. Here, a very dedicated group of individuals attempt to preserve Las Vegas history by saving and refurbishing the signs of establishments long since gone. A permanent museum will soon be under construction but I'm glad we had the chance to see the 'Boneyard' as it is today...

It was so fun, and I'm so pleased I could celebrate with you. Double down, Chad.

Too funny Chad, my wife just turned 30 and we were in Vegas for that - at the same time. It could have been a GM convention...
