Ah, Vegas. Thanks to anyone who offered rides and/or assistance. In spite of the breakdown and some pretty shady treatment by one mechanic, we were pretty well taken care of by AAA(and Merckx' mom!).
Rough week for sure, but like most things, we can look back and laugh about it. I've never been a huge fan of Vegas, but I always seem to find myself there once or twice a year at least. I think the only thing that has changed due to this trip is that I will never intentionally go there in the hotter months again.
I'll try to come up with a report later tonight or tomorrow. Football is on.
