Good thing we managed to get lots of hiking in before arriving in Sin City because it has been party time since then. We spent Friday afternoon with friends Dave & Penny at Margaritaville and then the PBR (Professional Bull Riders) Rock Bar where we watched some of the world finals on their TV's and some other partiers trying their luck on the mechanical bull. Lorne & Sue arrived in time to join us for dinner at Wolfgang Puck's.
On Saturday Rick & Joanne joined our group for the concert pre-party at the Flamingo pool area. At 1 pm when we arrived, the 'Loungin at the Lagoon' celebration was already packed with thousands of other Parrot Heads and the party was underway again. It was amazing to see the costumes and headwear choices that people had made the effort to design and wear. There was live music all afternoon and it was a fun place to be. We then went back to R&J's MGM suite for a few more refreshments and some food before heading over to the Jimmy Buffett concert. Jimmy walked on stage, kicked off his sandals, and his familiar tunes started to roll with the crowd standing and singing along. It was a great day. Another item knocked off of Rhonda's bucket list.
Yesterday we took it a little easier. The boys went over to the LVH Sportsbook, the largest in the city, to watch and bet the NFL games and some horse races. The ladies relaxed around the MGM pool. We all hooked up for dinner at the lovely home of new friends, Brian & Jennifer, for a great meal and a dip in their hot tub.
Today we are going to take it easy at the MGM pool area (4 pools plus a lazy river), in preparation for a return visit to a wonderful family-run Italian restaurant, Casa di Amore, 5 miles from the strip. We had quite the party there 3 years ago with our group and our entertaining waiter, Tony, and we are looking forward to an encore perfomance.
