I woke up on Thursday at 2:53 a.m. and our flight left at 7:00 a.m. The flight was 45 minutes early arriving in Las Vegas. We had beautiful views of the snow covered Rockies and the Grand Canyon.
We were able to check in early to our fancy suite and THEHotel at Mandalay Bay. This whole complex is HUGE. Versus and the PBR have outdone themselves for us. We got some (expensive) food and headed out to the PBR Fan Zone and Marketplace for a little while. We watched Flint interview a couple of people, including Kody Lostroh, on his "talk show."
At 3:00, we met our Versus Contact, Jenn, and went to the VIP pre-party and the Hardrock Hotel in our private van. From there, we were delivered to the Thomas and Mack Center on the UNLV campus for the event. Our seats are great, and we have the same ones each night. A few people texted me when they caught a glimpse of us on television, but it was very brief.
I had 3 out of 5 rides in Round 4, and Kody Lostroh won the round, so I was super excited. We met some more people from the PBR and Versus, and went back to the Hardrock for the draft. It was very cool. I got to pick first, since I came into the second round behind, and of course, I chose Kody. We alternated picks until we each had our team of five riders. We have until this afternoon to decide on our 3 bulls. Then we got to watch the 40 riders as they drafted their bulls for tonight.
We fell into bed about midnight, feeling fairly exhausted, but as you can see, I can't sleep again. Oh well! The photo above is our hotel from the parking lot, and I will post a couple of other pictures from the draft.
