It’s May 19th, and we’re headed down to Las Vegas, Nevada for a guys’ weekend trip for some of the guys’ birthdays and a bachelor party. A few guys were already there a day before but the majority of us will start trickling in that day, all day, from morning until late at night. We stayed at the Flamingo until Friday night when the group decided to split in two, with the other group going up to Fremont, the old Vegas, and the other half staying at the Flamingo on the Strip. Towards the end of the weekend, the guys will slowly trickled out of Vegas and back into their regular lives just as slowly as they trickled into Vegas to begin that weekend. All 15-17 of us. It was a fun weekend and you may notice that there aren’t too many photos…because what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas…right?
Trip dates: May 19th, 2016 – May 22nd, 2016

Just me, myself, and I on the way back to the airport early in the morning for the trip home!
Waiting to board my flight home at the airport.
Next time I’m in Las Vegas, I think I’m going stay out towards the suburbs and then just drive in if others want to hang out on the Strip or on Fremont. It’ll also allow those who want to go on day excursions to be able to do so without too much hassle.
