Vegas Baby!

We had a blast in Las Vegas this weekend. We went down there for the Kyani Convention. We stayed at the Hotel where the convention was being held, The Suncoast. I was surprised by how nice it was. Our room was large and the bathroom as well. I was very pleased.

We arrived Thursday evening and had to hurry and get ready for our reservation at MESA Grill. It was delicious, as always. We had some friends going to the convention also, so we met up with them after to play the tables a bit. Rick was super tired so he played a few hands, then headed up to bed. I stayed and played and was up $75 so I decided it was a good time to call it quits.

Rick has done really good the first 2 months of this business, and for that we were invited to the "Presidents Luncheon". I was for the top 10 distributors in the company. That was way fun. It was awesome to be a part of that crowd. After the luncheon was the start of the convention. We listened to motivational speakers and such. It was actually really interesting. I did get tired at the end of it, though. We were in "class" from 4 pm to 11:30 pm. I was so tired that after, we got dinner at the coffee shop and then I just went to bed. Rick, on the other hand, went downstairs to the casino and played this game that we just learned, Paigow. He came back up around 3 am! We had to be at our next meeting @ 9 am, so I was glad I didn't stay up with him, even though he did make a couple hundred.

Saturday's festivities were awesome. It was the last day of the convention and we were totally pumped. Rick got called on stage a few time for his efforts. But, the best part was when they called his name to receive the CRUISE! We both went up and got leied. Only 20 people earned one and we were one of them! It was awesome! We set sail on December 2nd for the Caribbean.

The next part was just as great, even though we were not the ones benefiting. Our good friends, Nikki and Casey earned the Escalade. They were 1 of 4 people that did. It was a beautiful car. Now I can't wait to get ours (in January, I'm thinking!).

After all was said and done with the convention, we hit the tables! I played Paigow with Rick and then a few hours later I hit the royal flush. It paid $750! We were so up at this point that I put away the ammount of money we started with and just used our winnings to continue to play. We went to the Cheesecake Factory with some friends and then back to Paigow. A few hours after that, Rick hit the royal flush too! We were done. We were so up that we payed for our whole entire trip, food, hotel, snacks, gas, everything. We still came home with the money we took and about $600 extra. It was awesome!

All in all we had a great time. Can't wait for the next one in Provo, Utah. At least we won't have to travel far!

BON VOYAGE!!!
