Hodes and Israel in Vegas

Yesterday was a long day for the two of us.  We left Chattanooga by shuttle to Atlanta on a private wheelchair accessible van, real easy drive.  We arrived on time and were herded onto the plane.  We felt like cattle being loaded onto a plane.  The flight was a little bumpy and long, but a great move “A GOOD YEAR”, and appropriate for those of us in the real estate business.  We arrived in Vegas around 4:35pm on our new time.  We loaded onto a shuttle bus which took another hour out of our lives, our driver was a little wacky!  We arrived at the hotel, checked in and came to our room.  We were very hungry by this time, airline food isn’t what it once was in the glory days of air travel.  We left our room and went to check out The Burger Bar at Mandalay Bay.  We only had to wait about 20 minutes, so we both got a drink.  The burgers were spectacular and the onion rings and sweet potato fries were also fantastic.  (The Burger Bar is unique since the burgers range in price from $8-$60 for a Japaneese Kobi Beef Burger.)  So, after dinner we decided to do a little gambling and some more drinking.  Andy is up $10 in poker.  We went to sleep around 10:30pm, which was about 1:30am Chattanooga time.

Today we got up and went to breakfast at the Luxur Buffet, much more expensive on the weekend.  We walked and rolled through the Luxor to the Excalibur where we played a little skee ball and I whipped Andy’s butt in Air Hockey.  We are meeting friends who moved here from Chattanooga in a couple of hours to visit downtown old Vegas and hopefully see some cheap gambling tables.  We also decided to purchase tickets for Elton John tomorrow night.  We are very excited and look forward to a dinner at Delmonico’s at the Venitian Hotel and then Elton John at Caesar’s; not to mention everyone arriving from Chattanooga KW tomorrow.  I met some KWI staff in the elevator and I introduced myself and told them we are looking forward to the convention.  Well, gotta roll, I will try to keep all KW family not joining us for this fantastic event up to date on our activities.  Please feel free to respond and comment.  I look forward to reporting on our educational and fun experiences over the next week.
