My son Zachary is home for a few week from Japan before he heads off top Oklahoma for the next 3 years (Tinker AFB). We decided to do a father/son trip to Las Vegas for a few days. We had a great time and here are some of the highlights.

On the way we stopped to have lunch at Peggy Sues Diner. Great hamburger place right off of the 15. If your in the area its a must stop




You know your old when your son says "Who are the Blue's Brothers" LOL

We got to Vegas in 4.5hrs which was great. We stayed at The Cosmopolitan. Great hotel! Really clean and the crowd was a little older which was great for me. I upgraded and got a suite with a terrace with a view of the strip. Also you can smoke on the terrace

Pics of the room





Room had a massive bathroom with this 4+ person shower and a nice Jacuzzi bath tub
 
Here's the view from the terrace. We were on the 57th floor


View at night


We hung out at the hotel most of the night and did a little gambling and had a few drinks

The next day we went to Exotic Racing to drive a few exotic cars. If your a gear head you have to check this place out!


Zachary did a ride a long in a Ferrari and I did one in the Porsche GT3.



The driver I had raced in the Formula 1 series. He was crazy. We set a new lap record for the week at just over 54 seconds

Zachary wants to get a bike so we stopped at Euro Cycle. Looks like he's going to get a Triumph Daytona


Went to Fremont street afterwards



Went to the Davidoff Lounge while we were in the area and picked up a few cigars to enjoy before we went home.



We had a great time. I think 2 day's is Vegas was just long enough plus I was broke. I think we are going to do this every year!

    Every 5 year old in Chicago knows about the Blues Brothers, must be a demographic thing.  That looks like an amazing time, glad it worked out!

    Awesome!
    Kind of jealous.
    We love going to Las Vegas.
    It never gets old to me.

    Money can't buy happiness, but it can buy cigars and that's close enough.
