Arriving in Vegas, the atmosphere was tense. Valerie and Kayden were highly strung, and we were all doing our best to support them. Two black limos were waiting on the tarmac for us. The drive between McCarran Airport and Caesar's Palace took us less than twenty minutes.
I'd never been to Vegas before, but it looked like an Adult Disneyworld as we drove through the night toward the strip. Everything was larger than life. The Presidential Suite in our tower looked out over the Bellagio Hotel Fountains and gave us an amazing view down the strip as far as the eye could see. Valerie hadn't even seen the room before she'd dumped her bag at the check-in desk and headed off to finalize the business end of our trip.
