Matt and Andy

I had a couple high school friends in town this past weekend. They are two of my favorite people in the world and on a very short list of people I keep up with from high school. I didnt have any stress to show them a good time despite one being a first timer to vegas and the other hasnt been here since he hit puberty. They are laid back and easy to entertain.
After I picked them up from the airport we grabbed food and caught up a bit. After a short rest we went out to Red Rocks which is my favorite place in Vegas (craps table is a close second). After a long hike we loaded up on meat and grilled out. The next day the memory of good meat clouded out minds and we needed more so we grilled out again for lunch. I took them to the strip just as my buddy was getting heads up in a Bellagio tournament. They were nice enough to walk around by themselves and let me play a short session. On the way back we hit up Veloce which is a good sushi restaraunt on top of the M casino. A few rolls and a bunch of drinks later we were ready for bed.
We woke up and drove to the Grand Canyon because its something that everyone needs to see. We hike around for a little bit and called it a day. We woke up early to go hiking all morning. We found a sweet little trail along the wall. There was no one else in sight and we took in some great views. We drove back hitting up In-N-Out for lunch (another must do). After we got back and relaxed we decided to eat more meat. Morgan, Cody, and Renee joined us at the steak joint in the M. After a terrific meal and some drinks we headed back to my place and played pool till we couldnt stand up.
We took it easy on their last day and headed to the strip for dinner and so the boys could walk around Vegas at night. It was a fantastic visit and cant wait for me to go visit them in Raleigh.

I have been playing poker and will get to some recaps on the next blog, but I am running late for Bellagio's 5K today.
