Heading to Las Vegas tomorrow for a week long business trip that will also include a number of fun events. I'm most excited about Thursday next week when I'll have a "day of leisure" and have chosen to do some cycling in Red Rock Canyon. The Red Rock Resort and Casino offers a package deal where you spend two nights at the hotel and then test out Lew Racing 880 gram PRO VT-1 wheel set on a Cannondale bike. If you end up buying a wheel set, you get $500 off. Now let me make one thing clear: I do not currently race cycles. I am in fact a mediocre rider at this point. But I am also a hopeless tech junkie, so naturally this offer is appealing to me. So I will do my best to attempt to try these wheels out, and compare them to my current non-racing wheels. I figure that since I've gained 15 pounds since buying my bike in 2002, putting lighter faster wheels on it can't hurt right? Famous last words.

Hotel 1000 Review
A great hotel on First Avenue in Seattle. Pulled up to the door at 3:30 and someone greeted us right away. In fact, they saw Lucy and asked “Is this Lucy?” at which time Lucy of course started wagging her tail and soliciting pats.
Check in was a breeze- Lane took care of the details while Lucy and I hung back a bit. The bellman gave Lucy plenty of pats.
Room 610... they have a cool key system where you only have to get the key close to the door to open the lock. We walked in and there was a bowl for food and water waiting for Lucy. There was also a dog bed that was a bit too small for Lucy, though she didn’t seem to mind.
Nice amenities- great “Hair wash” (this place is way to hip to call it shampoo). The very large tub has an interesting way for water to stream in- it comes via a spout coming out of the ceiling.
The food downstairs in the bar was excellent... we started with two very small crabcake cupcakes, followed by a Mac and cheese appetizer and a grilled gruyere cheese sandwich with Tomato bisque...

Lucy and the Paparazzi
My fiancée and I live with the most camera shy dog ever. The thing is Lucy is the cutest dog ever. No seriously…four out of five dentists actually voted her in. And let's face it the fifth dentist was in the bottom of his class so how smart could he possibly be anyway. And what does he know about dogs? I hope he's not my dentist.
Anyway, Lucy knows when the paparazzi are around and so at the last minute she tends to turn her backside toward the camera. I have more pictures of her tail than of her head.
