the las vegas trip that almost wasn't and then was
So on Monday when we go out to pack up the car and get it ready for our trip, Ben notices that the oil is low and is leaking from the Camry at an alarming rate. We can't get it into the shop til later in the day. Commence freak out. Trip is ruined, there goes the $160 spent on show tickets that are non-refundable.
Ben's Grandparents basically stopped in and saved the day as they are known to do. They let use borrow their Ford Focus to make the drive. So off we went.
We stayed at the Marriott Suites on Convention Center Dr. and basically got the room for $100 off each night. We did a little gambling, did some shopping, a lot of eating, and a lot of walking. We saw Penn and Teller at the Rio on Tuesday, and got their autographs and a blurry cell phone pic of us with Teller. (he talked!) We walked the midway at Circus Circus and played some of the carnival games. Good times were had by all.
We got back on Thursday, and had the car looked at. Luckily it wasn't all the wild scenarios Ben was imagining. It cost about $200 to fix, but it could have been much worse.
Now, I wonder if the top layer of our cake is even edible. It's been downstairs in the freezer this whole time...
