November Vegas Trip

Okay, so I'm a little behind on my blogging but we went to Las Vegas with Justin's brother, his fiance, and mom back in November. It was a quick trip, Thursday night to Saturday night, but I think everyone was ready to get away from the crazy!! We went to a bunch of casinos (but didn't try to kill ourselves to get to all of them).  Flamingo, Harrah's, Venetian, Mirage, Caesar's, Bellagio, Cosmopolitan, Planet Hollywood, and MGM. We KA (Cirque du Soleil) at MGM on Friday night and it was awesome!! It was my first time to see a CdS show in a theater built specifically for it and I would highly recommend going to see one of their shows next time you are in Vegas! We ate lots of yummy food (Cheesecake Factory, PF Changs, Toby Keith's I Love This Bar) and had lots (maybe too many??) of drinks! Vegas is always fun for a weekend and I'm ready for our next getaway!!

View of the "High Roller" Ferris Wheel being built at the quad. When complete it will be the worlds tallest ferris wheel! This was a view from the elevator bank at the Flamingo.

Viva Las Vegas!

Last weekend we went to Vegas to celebrate Justin's 25th birthday. My parents, Justin's mom, and our neighbors Michael and Christine celebrated with us and it was a blast! We gambled at a lot of hotels, ate at a lot of yummy restaurants, went to see the Jabbawockees at Monte Carlo, went to the top of Eiffel tower (I can't imagine going up in the real one...twice as high - amazing!) and had a lot of free drinks! Here are some of my favorite pictures :) I only took my point and shoot because I didn't want to carry around my DSLR.

The Paris...so pretty at night!


Waiting for the Bellagio Fountain Show


The fountains show was to Celine Dion - I almost peed myself!

My dad @ Dig This...his first bulldozer driving experience!


He definitely loved the bulldozer!
 
This is only the beginning of his huge mound of dirt


We went to Freemont Street to see the shark tank/pool at the Golden Nugget

Freemont Street...much less creepy during the day!

Jabbawockeez show was AMAZING!!

On top of the Eiffel Tower!

Amazing views - love the colors!

We got to watch the fountain show from up top - very neat
I had to take a picture - I loved this do not disturb sign...so fun!
 It was a quick trip to Vegas but we had tons of fun and can't wait till our next adventure...San Diego!!
