Viva Las Vegas

Babbitt was sick while we were in Las Vegas for all of the wrong reasons! He was feeling fine when we drove across the Nevada border, stopped at a couple of casinos on the outskirts of Sin City & realized desert temperatures were quite different than mountain temperatures in the evening (sleeping in The Rig at Wal*Mart was quite toasty.)  The next day we ran some errands before checking into our hotel & that is when his food poising set in!  He was a real trooper though, made the best of a bad situation, as you can see below & most importantly we left winners!

The Excalibur Hotel & Casino
We decided not to splurge while in Las Vegas & opted to stay here...
it could have been worse & it could have been better

The O'Babbitt's at The Excalibur Pool
On our first day Babbitt rallied for poolside libations, but by the time we had
dinner at Rice & Company he was in bad shape, so we called it an early night

The next day we decided to take advantage of some freebies & attended a timeshare program
Our salesman, Jon Henry was great & we actually ended up having a decent time...needless to say we did not buy

Babbitt Totes Vomming at More The Buffet At The Luxor
Even with food poisoning, Babbitt still mustarded the strength to eat two buffets while in Vegas,
in his defense this buffet was comped by the Grandview Timeshare along with $100 in table play

Babbitt read quite a few reviews before deciding to eat at the Bacchanal Buffet at Caesars Palace,
Once he saw that USA Today voted it the #1 Buffet in Vegas, he was sold

Our only celebrity sighting while in Vegas was also at Caesar's, where we saw tiny
Kevin Hart in the lobby, yelling out Gabriel Union's name in an attempt to distract onlookers

This Motown Revue was everything we expected,  just one former Motowner was missing... Michael

Babbitt with James Caan at the Mob Attraction
We were on the fence about going here, but decided we had to see it for Bob
In the end, we loved it...the attraction includes live actors, holograms, a museum & a KILLER finale
