Las Vegas, Nevada: We are terrible gamblers, so the #1 reason we visit Las Vegas is to either attend an event/concert, visit Cory... or to eat. This week we are here for thePac-12 Basketball Tournament, to visit Cory... and to eat.
We are staying at the MGM Grand Hotel because they are hosting the basketball tournament in their massive Grand Garden Arena (Jimmy Buffett also performs here).

While we were having a lazy Thursday morning, Lenny and Lisa took Leo to the zoo in Los Angeles:

We went to the arena to watch the two morning session games - Arizona v Utah and Cal v Colorado.


Then we had a little break before the Duck game, so headed to the Wolfgang Puck restaurant in the middle of the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino. Lenny just loves the house-made truffle potato chips with blue cheese served at this restaurant... so we ordered a batch and snapped tempting photos to torture him via text message.

At six o'clock we found ourselves back in our seats at the MGM Grand Garden Arena for the Ducks v UCLA game. Blue Man Group "sang" the National Anthem... except the Blue Man Group do not speak, so they just "drummed" the anthem. Not my favorite rendition.



After our loss, we trudged out of the arena, searching for food and a place to watch the Stanford v Colorado game on television.
There may have been a little cannibalization happening at dinner... someone ordered duck spring rolls...


Never a good idea.
Stanford beat Colorado 79-58. Match-ups for tomorrow are Colorado v Arizona and Stanford v UCLA.
Until my next update, I remain, your "will we stay, or will we go?" correspondent.
