44 Hours

What to do when you only have 44 hours to spend in Vegas over Thanksgiving?

1. Eat.

Steak 'n Shake at South Point is always our first stop

2. Eat some more.

KJ Dim Sum and Seafood Chinese Restaurant at the Rio

3. Check out the fountains at the Bellagio.

Dancing to Elton John's "Your Song"

4. Catch a show.

The boys loved Blue Man Group at the Monte Carlo!

5. Lose money. But get breakfast comped.

6. Win some money back.

7. Watch the Illini easily handle Indiana State at the Las Vegas Invitational.

From our comped suite at the Orleans Arena! Woohoo!
Thanks to my high roller brother-in-law!



Illinois 88
Indiana State 62

8. Visit relatives. R and K's uncle and aunt live in Las Vegas, and two of their cousins were in town to spend Thanksgiving with their parents.

9. Eat Thanksgiving dinner at the casino. Prime rib for me - turkey is overrated!

10. Play a family game of Hearts.

11. Sleep. 'Cuz when you have to hit the road at *7AM!* to get your son back in time for an afternoon basketball game, a 4.5-hour drive home when you're completely exhausted is no fun!
