Viva Las Vegas...

This will end our structured schedule for about 4 months, when we will then return to SC through Texas after a rally in Ft Davis, TX.  We will definitely try to do a better job this year in finding cool weather during the summer months.  Altitude will be our friend :)  Believe it or not, we can see snow covered Mt Charleston while we sit at our campsite, surrounded by 100 degree heat.  Guess where our first stop will be :)
We found our way to Las Vegas to see Wendy's first cousin, twice removed, marry the love of her life.  Lauren and Lawrence graciously invited us to their awesome event.  I mean it was AWESOME.  3 days of celebrating, dancing, and eating with, 300 or so, family members and guests left us in need of the next 4 months off :) :)  The food was 5 star quality and always at hand.  Most of the time I didn't know what I was eating but I can assure you it was stellar.  The waiting staff must have been 50 strong and they made sure we were all well taken care of.  The music and performances were of Broadway caliber.  Their beautiful, Jewish, wedding will always be remembered!

Our campsite on Nellis AFB.

Wen caught a pretty nice picture on the way into Las Vegas.  A lot of haze and smoke around so I couldn't do the picture much justice in post editing.

Just a couple shots of downtown...drivers are nuts here as well.

The city has greatly changed, not in a good way, from 1998.

Here is a link to a very short clip of the reception.

The first day was a pre-wedding day meal where everyone got to meet one another.  Wedding day and reception was the following day.  My head finally hit the pillow at 2:30 AM!  And day 3 was the brunch, which was actually a party from 2 PM until midnight.  We only stayed a few hours as we were so worn out from the day before.  I suspect that was probably a good thing!

In no particular order I'll just post 3 days of wonderful times :)

A first for me...sherbet served over a glowing ice cube :)

All who were invited were given a pair of Nike shoes for the dancing :)

And a bottle of wine sent with the invitation.  Ours was sent to our previous residence we moved from in January of 2020.  We were able to retrieve it from the current residents, who kindly called us about it.
