Getting Lucky in Vegas

Tess (cousin) and I arrived in Vegas Monday afternoon after flying most of the day away. As I look back at Monday I think I should have bet the bank that night. It started after we arrived in Vegas, I was relating to Tess, as we were waiting for the luggage rack to start up, that it would be great if just one time our luggage was first. Not even a minute after I said that the conveyors start up and here comes our luggage, Wow that was easy! We walked outside bought a ticket on the shuttle sat down to find out we were pretty much the last ones and took off, from the sounds of it the others had been waiting for quite awhile for it to fill so they could leave.

A short while later we arrive at Mandalay Bay and walk into the main area and need to go up a level to check in, I walk up to a set of eight elevators and point at one and say that one is our ride, and ding it lights up and opens. Wow now that is power, this must just be a fluke! As we check in the guy behind the registration desk tells us that they overbooked so we would be getting upgraded and before he finished his manager walks up and tells him to change that and he looks over at us and tells us we are really getting bumped up. Cool, that works for me! We hop back onto the elevator and ride up to the 21st floor and walk around the corner to the hall that leads to our room. We are both curious about what type of room we have or if their suite really is just a nice name for a normal room. By the way these hall are freeking long! We are walking and walking thinking boy this figures they say we have a nice room and they send us about a mile from the elevators. Two hours later as we are nearing the end of the hall I am wondering where are room is, then all of a sudden I notice that hay we ran out of doors on each side... wait there is a door in the wall ahead of us and hay that is our number well cool I guess we are all the way at the end of the hall.

So we enter our room and all thoughts about how far we had to walked went out the window. One of the five eight foot wide wall to ceiling windows that are in our room. We have a huge living room which has two tv's one large screen and one normal with a stereo. Off each end of the living room is a master bedroom one for tess and one for me! Each master bedroom has a master bathroom all marble with a jucuzi in each. Wow well Tess doesnt have to worry about my snorning keeping her up, I could shout from my room and she wouldn't hear me all the way on her end. We literally take up the entire width of the hotel wing. If you look at the first picture we are the full wall and the bends on the side are our rooms.

Not only that but we have a perfect view down the strip and right across the way is the luxor pyrimid. I call it my night light because I cant bring myself to close the windows on such a cool view and if you are not aware the light on top of the luxor is so bright it is viewable from space! We decided to check things out and found that every time I called which elevator would open that one would be the one to arrive. We moved on heading down the strip checking out the sites and picking up our tickets for Ka. We had a great night followed by a long soak in the tub, the next day I would regret not stopping at the black jack table, I was on fire!
