This is my second trip to Las Vegas in less than a year. The June 2024 trip was with Naveen to see Dead & Company and while it was a lot of fun, this adventure was more my speed and my sensibilities.
Saturday - Feb 1 - Fly in to Las Vegas, uber to Host2Suites, chatted with Dave for an hour, grabbed a Falafel wrap for dinner at the hotel bar
Sunday - Feb 2 - Woke up at 5:45 to get cleaned up and meet Dave in the lobby of the hotel to walk to Convention Center. Warmed up, finished Hyrox in 2:15:35, met up with Priya, checked out of hotel, uber to Park MGM, relaxed, read a book and had dinner (shrimp fried rice) with Mom at La La Noodles
Monday - Feb 3 - Woke up, headed to hotel gym to get legs moving on the bike, grabbed breakfast with Priya at Starbucks, went for a 900 yard swim at the Nomad pool, live action at Aria, busted out of Aria poker tournament after first break, Panino sandwich at Eataly, went to FountainBleau Hotel at had dinner (veggie burger and fries) at Tavern Bar
Tuesday - Feb 4 - Woke up, uber to Dragon's Lair for upper body pump, uber back to Park MGM and grabbed a coffee at Starbucks, played live action at Aria for a couple of hours and then had pizza for lunch at the Aria food court. uber to the airport and everything went smoothly
It was fun to spend time with my Mom and Priya. It was super nice of Priya to come out to my race, but frustrating for her that she could not find me on the course. We enjoyed chit chatting, I followed them around while they played Pai Gow and slot machines. I was not playing poker particularly well, but I was playing disciplined and got knocked out on a coin flip JJ vs AK. I really liked the Dragon's Lair gym as that was one thing I missed last trip. I did not miss hanging out at the pool, lounges, or fancy dinners. It would have been nice to take in a show.
