Keeping up with the Swope's: Cody's 30th in Vegas!

Cody just turned 30 on the 19th and on your 30th Birthday you should really do something great!
So I decided to take him on a trip to Las Vegas! We are not big gamblers, but Vegas still has a lot to offer to the non-gamblers.

We stayed at the new Wynn property called "Encore" Steve Wynn has an amazing hotel called "Wynn" with a fabulous golf course!

Last time we went to Vegas we stayed at the Wynn and this time we thought we would try the Encore. It just opened in January and it is Gorgeous. The architect and designers of these two hotels blow me away, everything is perfect down to every detail. The way they use colors, textures, and arrange everything is just unbelievable. They bring the out door elements in. You feel like you are in a garden the whole time and it is just Beautiful. We got in on Thursday evening and had a great dinner at one of the hotels restaurants called Botero, they also have a really neat restaurant called "Switch" and every 20 minutes the walls, lighting and decor all "Switch" to something different, it is really a neat concept and experience.

On Friday we played golf. This is an excellent course and Cody wanted to play last time we were there, but it is some what difficult to get a T-time, so we planned ahead on this trip to insure he would get to play.
Steve Wynn has been thinking about doing away with the golf course and expanding the hotel. Our Caddy was giving us the scoop on the possible up coming plans. The property alone for this course is worth 250 million per acre. Sounds like Mr. Wynn invested pretty well huh?

We saw a few shows while we were there. We love Sirque Du Soleil and we caught
"LOVE" The Beatles show. it was way to cool, and if you are a Beatles fan like myself you will really enjoy it! I highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful and relaxing time and Cody had a great and memorable 30th Birthday!
