Vegas Vacation…in Edmonton

It’s been awhile, hasn’t it? Well, I’m not dead. Frankly, I just haven’t felt like blogging. Can’t say I’ll be back to my regular posting frequency, but I haven’t given it up. I’ll still post, just probably not as often.
Onto today’s post, though…
I’ve been talking about going to Las Vegas for my birthday this year. November isn’t exactly the busy season, from what I understand, so I’d probably be able to get a good deal, especially if I waited until the last minute to book it.
Now, though, I’m not so sure, for a number of reasons. First, I don’t know that I can justify the expense of flying to Vegas for the weekend, even if I do get a great rate on a flight + hotel package. Second, I know for a fact that a significant number of my friends wouldn’t be able to join me, either because they can’t afford it or because they aren’t able to get the time off.
What’s the point of celebrating another trip ’round the sun if the people who make the trip worthwhile can’t be there to celebrate with me?
With that in mind, I’ve decided with about 99% certainty that I’ll be celebrating my birthday in Edmonton. No fancy vacations for me this year. Just good friends, good food, and copious amounts of alcohol.
I am, however, thinking about turning it into a mini-Vegas vacation of sorts. Perhaps a trip out to the River Cree Resort and Casino. They’ve got 2 bars, a nightclub, a restaurant, a casino, and a hotel to crash in after partying until the wee hours of the morning.
Of course, that’s not exactly an inexpensive option, either, if I do decide to book a room at the hotel.
But, my birthday is still several months away. There is plenty of time to figure out what I want to do. And, really, as long as the people closest to me can be there to party with me, it will be a good birthday.

You’ll have to let me know what day you will be celebrating on as Bryan and I are going to celebrate our 6 month anniversary by booking a cabin in Hinton for the weekend in November, probably the 14th and 15th.
good to have you blogging again.
It’ll likely be the 28th or the 29th…the weekend of my birthday.
