The best thing about this whole trip: Free airfare (from NW Freq flyer miles), free hotels due to players care comps, and most meals free due to comps and or discounted gift cards. Champagne Taste on a beer budget! I spent hours and hours planning and bargain hunting. (And my hubby appreciates it!) If there weren't already tons of books on how to do Vegas cheap, I'd write one myself!

A HUGE Thank you to my parents for taking our 2 boys into their home while we are gone. I =)know they will be in safe, loving hands! They are just as excited to go on the "Grandpa & Grandma Vacation" as we are to go on ours!

Vacations are priceless. Work hard, play harder!!! And sometimes parents need vacations from their sweet children, as children need breaks from their parents. Getaways cleanse the mind, and free the ties that bind us within our hectec daily lives. For a weekend, we can just be "fun people" in a "fun city"....doing the Rockstar thing. Vegas baby! Here we come!
