Dan and I threw together a quick Christmas Trip to Las Vegas at the last minute. Both of us have been working hard this year and could use a few days of frivolity in our favorite city. We got an offer to stay at Mandalay Bay for $89 a night with a lot of extras including free admission to the Shark Reef exhibit. We used a couple of free tickets on Southwest courtesy of their Rapid Rewards frequent flyer program.

For those who are unfamiliar with our trip reports, we do sort of a "he said/she said" kind of report with both of us adding our $0.02 where appropriate. So you don't get totally lost, I put Dan's comments in a different font. Enjoy!
