A couple weekends before school started back up, Dalton and I went up to Vegas to watch the races (and also, for an official Vegas birthday trip for Dalton). It turned out to be about 112˚F while we were up there, so we stayed away from the races until later in the afternoon to avoid boiling out blood.
I have no idea how everyone else survived out on the track all weekend...being on all that asphalt already makes it so much hotter at any race! :/
We stayed in New York New York, a hotel on the strip we've never stayed, and also right in the middle of all the action.

The first night, since it was just practice night at the racetrack, we got some dinner at this delicious steak house in our hotel and went from a night walk on the strip for the usual people-watching entertainment :)
Gallagher's Steakhouse...now those are some big hunks of meat!

The next morning, I guess there were delicious breakfast foods everywhere, because I have may pictures ;)
GIANT donuts
But even better...strawberry banana waffles! MMMM! But I didn't get any :(
Since it was so hot outside, Dalton and I mostly stayed indoors and tried our luck at gambling (which I really don't like!) Turns out Dalton was pretty lucky! I think he ended being up $100+ at the end of the weekend!
After we got bored of the New York New York gambling, we wandered around the casinos nearby until it was time to head over to the track to watch the races.
In the morning, Dalton just had to spend one last dollar on the mega size slot machine, haha :)
i'm glad you had a fun weekend in vegas & that dalton went with you! I'm so sad it didn't work out to see you :/ I'm sorry... It really was a horrible time though, Jordan and I had many late night cry sessions & I;m glad you didnt have to witness that. Jordan took it so hard, that I didn't know what to do anymore. :/
