I got dinner at the El Diablo Cantina at Luxor while I was waiting for my buddy's flight to get in.

After picking up my buddy, we went to South Point to gamble and watch a comedy show.  I love playing Gold Fish slots.  This is the new "Feeding Time" version.  I had some bonus spins here.

The Dirty at 12:30 is a complimentary comedy show at South Point every Friday night.  It was not bad.

My friend and I went to Palms the next day for their champagne brunch at the A.Y.C.E Buffet.

A.Y.C.E had lots of good choices for brunch items.

The crab legs and cocktail shrimp were great!

It looked like there were more invited guests for the private Zac Brown concert over the Kane Brown concert a few months ago.

Zac Brown did all their great hits including Homegrown and Chicken Fried.

Carolina Jones recently joined the Zac Brown Band.  I was hoping she would do her hit, Gulf Coast Girl.

I saw my nephew the next day and got to play with him.  He asked me to help him refill his Pez here.

Even the Skeleton is having a good time!

    MGM Rewards invited me again to a private concert in the spring of 2023.  This time, Zac Brown Band was doing a private concert for us MGM Rewards VIPs!  Since Joy and I had so many travel plans in May, she opted out so I invited a buddy of mine to join me in Las Vegas for the epic concert.  I booked the Luxor Tower for the two nights of accomodations.  Unfortunately, our trip was slightly delayed that Friday night since there was an issue at the airport for most flights.  However, once my buddy arrived, we departed for South Point to gamble and attend an adult only "dirty comedy show."

    On Saturday, we enjoyed the Palm's A.Y.C.E. champagne brunch before gambling there.  The champagne brunch was awesome, and their desserts are great!  I love the gelato flavors they had too.  Afterwards, we checked out the Pinball Hall of Fame.  This place had lots of classic pinball games including those baseball themed games too.  I loved the baseball ones a lot!  After enjoying the pinball games, we met my old high school buddy for dinner at Lawry's The Prime Rib for dinner.  The prime rib was amazing as usual.

    The concert started promptly at 8:00 PM like the Kane Brown private concert did back in October of 2022.  Our seats were pretty close to the stage.  Zac Brown did all of his hits, and I loved how he called out the media for dividing us when he did that one verse on Chicken Fried that says to salute the brave men and women who gave their lives for us all so we could enjoy our chicken fried and a cold beer on a Friday night.  I was very impressed with the concert!  The best part was that the concert was a private complimentary concert for MGM Rewards VIPs!

    On Sunday, I got to spend qualtiy time with my nephew at my brother's house.  We had a fun time building things and hanging out.  He gave me a nice hug as I departed for the airport.

    The weekend after the concert was an epic Cinco de Mayo party at my friends' home in Redding.  These friends host the most amazing parties, and they got an actual photo booth too for the party this year!  We loved all the tequila as well as the great catered Mexican food.  The group of friends we have in Redding are very cool!
