For my non-AU friends reading this, Auburn’s theme this football season was AUBURN FAMILY- ALL IN. The AU family came together once again to pull on our AU Tigers in Glendale. Auburn & Oregon were both allotted only 17,000 tickets each, but there were at least 50,000-60,000 AU fans that made the trip. It was AMAZING to say the least. I would say the AU to Oregon fan ratio was 70/30 orange, with hints of obnoxious green and yellow here and there. We decided if we were traveling this far for a game, we might as well make it an ALL OUT vacation. So…here is part one- VEGAS!!!
Our flight left early Saturday morning from Memphis. I was amazed at the # of AU fans in the Memphis aiport…I can’t imagine what the airports were like in ATL, BHM, & MGM?? It was a beautiful day and I’m very thankful we beat the ice/snow storm that came on Sunday. We met up with our friends from Montgomery, Robby & Mary Frances Spaeth in Vegas and had a grand time!! We stayed at the MGM Grand on Sat. night and made the 4.5 hour drive to Phoenix on Sunday….that drive was absolutely GORGEOUS by the way. Here are some highlights of the 1st part of the trip.....

We met this crazy Oregon fan when we first got to Vegas. I was pretty impressed with his homemade duck mask :)
We had a wonderful dinner at Emeril's Delmonico in The Venetian. The food was fabulous!!
Leaving Delmonico stuffed and happy!!
The Bellagio...so pretty at night
We went to see the JABB AWOC KEEZ...does anyone remember them from winnning America's Best Dance Troop?? We were all pretty impressed with their show!!

On our way to Phoenix we stopped at The Hoover Dam- AMAZING!!
Jason and I both forgot our sunglasses....we will probably be squinting in lots of pics
Tons of AU fans were at the Hoover Dam as well
I never realized it, but the Hoover Dam is on the AZ/NV state line
