Back to Vegas: Part III

The main reason for our trip was so Roy could participate in the World Series of Poker One Drop hold'em poker tournament.  He played for 6 hours or so.

Last official meal at an AYCE Korean BBQ place. Yummy.

 

Until next time, Aria!

Road Trip to Wedding Part XI: The End of the Beginning

It's been over two months since we got married so this post is way overdue! Here are the photos from our first day in Las Vegas (Wedding Day Eve). We left Torrance a little after noon and stopped at In 'N Out in Rancho Cucamonga for lunch. I love that place.

Heading to Vegas from California

We dropped off the rental car at the airport and a driver brought us to Aria. The check-in line was super long.

But since we were staying in a SkySuite we had a separate check-in area and lounge. Behind that wall is a snack bar with free beverages.

The room was pretty nice. 

Our wedding package included a ride to the courthouse to get our marriage license so we did that after we settled in. We got to the Marriage License Bureau at around 5:30, paid $60 and each filled out a simple form. There wasn't many people there at that time. Easy peasy Japanesey. Our package also included a dinner at Social House which we reserved for 7:30 that night. We invited anyone who wanted to go with us.

Daeho and Irene flew in from MD the night before. Our entire group couldn't sit together so Roy's family is at the table behind Daeho.

The cousins flew in from PA that day.

Remember Liz and Steve? Our San Fran friends flew in the day before.

Adam and Kathy flew in from PA that day also. Reunited and it feels so good.

Daeho and Irene got us sashes to sport on our last day as non-married people.

Angela and Jess sitting in the pigeon chairs outside the Aria Lobby. After dinner we took cabs to the Stratosphere. Our friends came with but they decided to head down to Fremont St.

We went up to the top of the Stratosphere. Someone was about to do the SkyJump.

It costs like $200 jump down. I think someone would have to pay ME to do that and a lot more than $200.

We rode the Big Shot instead. It was pretty fun.

After Stratosphere we headed back to the hotel. We got to our room and housekeeping was already changing the blankets on the bed. We hadn't even slept in it yet! She said she was changing it to something more comfortable. I guess this is normal. They clean the room twice a day if not more.

I didn't want to stay up too late because I wanted to get some beauty sleep before the wedding the next day. That didn't really happen though because we were up til 2 hanging out in the room.

To be continued...
