Thank you, Skins.

It's only for one night, but it's the first time in over 7 years that my wife has been away from the children for more than a night. We're doing it up. First class flight here and back, suite hotel room, top shelf restaurant tonight, and we checked a bag with nothing but premium champagne and wine in it (and a bottle of whiskey for me).

Looks like the Palazzo, my personal favorite. Enjoy and happy birthday to your wife and happy anniversary to you! Is November 10 her actual birthday? It’s amazing how many people I know (or somewhat know lol) that share a birthday with me if so.

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Congratulations for the ten years.

My wife and I celebrated our 20th anniversary fairly recently.

I hope it's warmer in Las Vegas than here in Utah today.

Yup. The Palazzo. Not our first time here. We love the Ventian and The Palazzo.

Her birthday is actually the 11th. Armistice day.

We married in 2013 in Vegas but in March.

Congrats to both!
I'd hoped to be planning a Vegas trip for next weekend, but couldn't score F1 tickets. Have an insider that's involved with the track prep & they didn't get any freebies.

Congrats. We got "re-married" in the little white chapel years ago when we were there. There are a lot of neat things to see/do there without having to gamble.

Thank you, brother.

And thank you everyone else. Got pretty tuned up last night, both my wife and I. I mean really tuned up, after an amazing dinner at Julian Serrano Tapas at Aria. Ended up at The Barbershop Speakeasy at The Cosmopolitan afterwards somehow. Really have no idea how that happened, but it was a good time.

To top off the trip, I just won $600 at the Three card poker table. Hit a straight flush. Haven't done that in over 8 years. The wife is now taking a nap. I'm getting food to go and having a nice stiff drink. Really good time. Appreciate the well wishes.
