Vegas countdown...

In July we are Vegas bound, but this time with the kids. This time we are going for FIVE days, which will be the longest we've ever stayed there. For the first two nights we are staying at the Mandalay Bay and then we are moving to the Hyatt - Lake Las Vegas for the remaining three nights. The Hyatt has a "kids club" that should allow Shireen and I to escape for some gaming for a few hours, so that will be nice. If only we could skip the drive...flying isn't that expensive, but we need a car anyway to drive out to the Hyatt and it's just easier to take your own car.

The pre-brewing sample they gave me to taste was really not at all like the beer I ended up with, so I'm thinking either it was mislabled or ...
