A little bit about what we've been up to...

Alluring Sights & Vegas Lights

This was a trip of a lifetime! The IGLTA FAM/Symposium invited our Owner, Ahna, to go see all that Vegas has to offer from April 4, 2010 to April 7, 2010. She stayed at the lavish Encore Hotel and Casino and that was just the beginning! She did site inspections at the Palms Hotel, Tropicana Hotel, Trump Hotel, The Wynn, The Monte Carlo, The Golden Nugget, Planet Hollywood, Aria, The Bellagio and much more. She boasted about the Vegas sign (not to mention, she won an official light bulb off the sign to take home). She also experienced Freemont St., (where the newly renovated Golden Nugget, has resided since 1946) and she viewed an enormous overhead screen with a light show at night that changes to music for everyone to enjoy. She was blown away by the Vegas show playing at The Wynn called Le Rêve, and she had an amazing lunch at The Bellagio which was in a magnificent dining room that had a breathtaking view of the water show right outside. Also, her visit to The Red Rock Hotel and Casino had her in total amazement. This child friendly spot includes a bowling alley, a movie theatre, and (surprisingly enough) a daycare facility so parents can go experience more mature destinations freely. There isn't enough time in the world to tell her whole tale of Vegas’ attractions...is there a more fascinating place to visit? She's not so sure...

Medieval Madness Dinner Show

What a fun trip back in time! Old Dominion Tours and Virginia Destinations, Inc. sent two of our employees (Jessica & Alicia) to see the Medieval Madness Dinner Show in Alexandria, VA over this past weekend, Saturday June 5, 2010. We experienced a wonderful show while eating delectable cuisine in a time where so many things were delightfully different. The wenches sang to us, the jester humored us, and the Duke and Duchess entertained us with hilarious gossip and serious issues that were very real in their society. Even the audience was indeed very much a part of this show. To top it off, we experienced a real sword fight, and we participated in judging the winner. This is truly a gateway into a noble and honest time in history. A special thanks to the Crystal City Marriott, for the lovely accommodations, Tom Booth (the Duke), Karla (his beautiful Duchess), Benjamin Corey Feinblum (the Jester), and all the cast for the "madness" we enjoyed so much.
