Seven Days in

Sin City - Las Vegas

(July 2004)

Alex's Camp Darryl Basketball Academy squad played their last tournament of the year in Las Vegas. It was sponsored by Reebok and was called the Big Time Grass Roots basketball tournament. More information about the tournament can be found on Alex's web shrine. Kathy, Alex, and I went to Vegas as part basketball and part vacation. Below is the VACATION aspect of our trip. I hope you enjoy the photos as much as we enjoyed SIN CITY!!

Wandering the strip! The view from the top of the Effiel(sp) tower was awesome. Alex didn't think so much about the glass elevator though.

Hanging out poolside at the LUXOR!

Lunch at New York New York's ESPNZone.

The Belagio and MGM Grand were two of our favorites.

"The Strip" at night truly is the center of the universe.

Lake Mead and Hoover Dam were a short 30 minute car drive from downtown Las Vegas and well worth the trip.

The Shark Encounter at Mandalay lived up to it's billing.

If you ever go to Vegas don't miss visiting Red Rock Canyon and don't forget to bring your camera, sun tan lotion, and hiking boots.

Oh, and there was some basketball played too at the 16s went 2-2 against national competition!!!

Dinner and a show (The Blue Man Group) at the Luxor helped close out our vacation with a BANG!!
