1/2009 Las Vegas: Finally a real vacation to somewhere warm (which was great because it was arctic weather in NJ). Courtney

and I took a trip to Las Vegas to attend one of her friend's wedding, we also took a side trip to the Hoover Dam. We stayed

at the Excalibur hotel at the south end of the Strip.
