Since thousands of miles separate the Austin and Portland Saffire Offices, any chance our team has to spend time together is sure to be filled with excitement and fun.
With such a busy convention schedule, most of our free time was spent having yummy meals and playing various casinos.
While we didn’t hit the BIG jackpot we were all hoping for, we settled for a few mediocre slot machine wins on Top Dollar and Lucky Larry’s Lobster Mania.
If you know much about this team, you know we might be are foodies. We had the opportunity to eat at some new finds and old favorites while we were in Las Vegas.
We made two stops at the new Cosmopolitan Hotel, which was right across from the Paris Hotel where we were staying. This trendy, new hotel was home to Holsteins and D.O.C.G. At Holsteins, we enjoyed the Gold Standard, which was voted the best burger in Las Vegas, and various “Bam-Boozled Shakes.” As for D.O.C.G., well we’re just glad we didn’t set more than the menu on fire. Oops!
After about 24 hours away from Texas, the Austin office was in serious need of some Mexican food. So we headed over to Planet Hollywood to have some burritos and fajitas at Yolo’s.
Since Wednesday night was our last evening together in Vegas, we had a team dinner at a Saffire favorite: Tao. A few specialty cocktails and lots of toasts later, we had a delicious meal and enough laughs to last until we’re together again.
Our team really is a family, and it was great to spend time together in Sin City. Viva Las Vegas!
