I've never planned Valentine's Day *this* early beforeFollow

So I'm sitting at my desk this afternoon actually doing real work if you can believe it, when the intercom rings at me. Meeting in the conference room now -- everyone get your *** in there. Wondering what the commotion is about, I hike on down, take my seat and await the announcement:

Last year at the annual company meeting, the owner joked that if we hit a sales goal this year, our next annual meeting would be in Las Vegas. Amazingly, we hit it and he's keeping good to his word and we're going.

Three days, two nights at the Mandalay Bay in Vegas, paid for by the company, with airfare. We have one dinner party/company meeting we have to attend and the rest of the time is ours. Spouses & significant others are invited and the ladyfriend has already agreed to go.

The first day out there is St. Valentine's Day. It's going to be a fun holiday

Woohoo!

GFY! Joph, Good For You!

Everyone gets a free trip to Las Vegas Except me.

Congratulations Joph! That's really cool!

Congrats! If you get married in Vegas, do it here.

I love Las Vegas. I used to go at least 3-4 times a year when I lived in San Diego.

Very romantic thing to do is take your sweetie on a Gondola ride through the Venetian. Pricey, but very romantic.

Make sure to go on the Big Shot at the top of the Stratosphere Tower. It's quite the rush (think Giant Drop, only going up). Oh, and don't blow all your cash at the tables. At the very least, make sure to save some for EQ subscriptions and the like.

Yeah, I read a review saying Mandalay attracted a lot of too-cool-for-you hipsters and the like. Bully for them; there ain't enough hipness in any living soul to override my thoughts of "I'm here for free! HA!"

Congrats! Hope you and your "ladyfriend" (I keep hearing Will Ferrell's "Ron Burgundy" when you use that term) have a great time!

Remember...what happens in Vegas....stays in Vegas!

You have made me uncomfortable. I suggest you leave now.
