When I watched this year's NRL season opener held in March that was held in Las Vegas, my mind went into overdrive as I thought, Mark turns 40 next February, what a surprise it would be to take him to Las Vegas to watch the NRL. Little did I know that a couple of months later our own Super League team, Warrington Wolves, would express an interest in being part of the event during 2025.
I’d been closely following the media and rumors for weeks, and it was clear something big was about to happen. I knew we had to be there, but with the Warrington Wolves potentially being involved, I realised that keeping it a secret would be impossible so i made the decision to tell Mark what I was thinking and his eyes lit up like a Vegas slot machine.
Las Vegas is obviously known for it's nightlife and casinos but it has so much more to offer. When i visited about 6 years ago, it was much quieter than i imagined and there were lots of families and children so we discussed taking the boys with us and decided that we had to do it, This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to watch our team Warrington Wolves and the NRL at the Allegiant Stadium
We had been pricing up flights and hotels but couldn't book anything as no dates had been confirmed by the NRL. Then this week Warrington Wolves announced they’d be taking on Wigan Warriors in the heart of Sin City, so we immediately went back to the best deal that we'd found and booked. You can see more about the Las Vegas deal that we found here.
When we got home from work, we were so excited that all we could talk about was Vegas. We toyed with the idea of surprising Charlie at Christmas but we knew that we couldn't keep it a secret, plus if we told him now he could enjoy the planning with us so we decided to tell him.
While Charlie was at Rugby Training I printed off a poster, the only plan was to give him the poster as say look what we've booked BUT Mark being the prankster that he is, has to take it one step further and almost gave Charlie a heart attack, watch the hilarious reveal on our TikTok or our YouTube,.
