Why the MGM Grand?
For those of you who didn't read my Facebook status update recently, I would like to publicly endorse and promote HOTWIRE.COM--seriously. That is the reason why we're now staying at the MGM.
Let's rewind a few nights: Dad, Shazza and I were in St. George looking online for hotels on the Strip to stay in. We tossed a few names around and looked at places that we could get the best rates. Early on, we came across Hotwire and nearly made a purchase on their 'lucky dip' type system. You select the area and rating--then you don't find out where you're staying until after you've paid. An intriguing prospect.
However, we really wanted to make sure we stayed somewhere nice and Hotwire doesn't make any promises. So, we went to another website and nearly booked a room at MGM for $80 per night. Once we got to the final payment page, unfortunately, we were hit with the ugly truth. Hidden costs = $110 per night. Really?
Discouraged. We went back to Hotwire and decided to take the risk. It paid off. After making final payment, we received our MGM booking confirmation number!! Woohoo. Needless to say, we were very excited and now I swear by Hotwire. Do it! You never know--you could be staying here too.

An update from the MGM Grand.
I have not been on here for a very long time, and, to my avid readers, I apologize. I hope that I will be able to redeem myself a little later--especially now that I have a lot more time. Anyway, right now I am in Las Vegas with my Dad and Shazza (his partner), and we are on our way down to LA in a few days.
I've had a great time since school was over. At this point, I can't believe that it's over. My Mum made it over from New Zealand and so did my Aunt and Uncle from Hawaii. Also, my Stake President and his wife were here from NZ because Alex, their daughter, got into BYU. Pretty neat. Here's a pic of most of the crew:
Good times. I'll be sure to update more later.

Mormon Notes: Testimony of the Book of Mormon
I have had the opportunity to meet Jeffrey R. Holland a number of times. He really is the man. I highly encourage you to listen to this message from him!
