Album: Las Vegas Grand Sumo Championship - Oct 2005 | Back to album list
70 images in this album
Description: We drove to Vegas on the weekend of October 8-10 to see the Grand Sumo Championship, featuring the top-ranked rikishi from the actual top-division sumo league in Japan. Great fun was had by all. Donovan handled the drives to and from Los Angeles easily (although he didn't sleep quite as much as our first trip to Vegas with him). We stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel that lives INSIDE the Mandalay Bay Hotel. We got to see two great days of sumo, eat great food at Emeril Lagasse's Delmonico Steakhouse inside the Venetian, and generally live it up.
