Las Vegas

This weekend Jess and I went to Las Vegas so I could play in a soccer tournament. The weather was so nice. It was 90 degrees all weekend. Our team did a good job and it was great to finally be playing outside.

Jess and I stayed at the Golden Nugget this time. We usually stay at the Excalibur or somewhere right on the strip but this was nice for a change. The hotel had just been remodeled and the pool are was amazing. It was called "The Tank" because there was a huge fish tank in the middle of the pool with a variety of fish and some sharks. There was also a water slide that went right down the middle of the fish tank. When I went down the slide I tried to go slow so I could see all the fish.
This is a picture of "the Tank" The tube running through the middle is the slide. You could also swim right up to the tank.

While we were in Vegas we ate at a restaurant called the Grotto. It was the best Italian food I have ever eaten. The pizza was amazing and I wish I could make the meat sauce that was on my pasta.
