We had such a great time. We started Monday off kinda low key, went to the Rio and checked it out, and then went for supper at Buzio's. Which is a classy seafood restaurant, that I really didn't enjoy. But oh well, it was alright.
Tuesday we got up and went to Cowboy Christmas (which is kind of like Agribition, has all the booths and such). It was so fun, we got both the kids a pair of cowboy boots, and Dominic got a Cowboy hat. Following that I went with a walk with Jared and Bubba and we checked out the Wynn and the Fashion Show Mall.
For Supper we met up with everyone, and headed down to Freemont St. Which was what I wanted to see. It had a wonderful light show up above (because it's all closed in, like an arch kinda deal). It was just very beautiful. We went for supper at Binion's. It was pretty good. Jared and Bubba got into the Football shaped Margarita's..and wow. They were so strong. Down there, you get what you pay for..I don't think there is a drink you get anywhere that has only one shot in it..it was intense..Needless to say Jared and Bubba were pretty HAPPY by the end of the night. We toured Freemont St for the rest of the night then went to bed.Wednesday we went and got some 1/2 price tickets for Stomp out Loud at Planet Hollywood for that night. During the day we went shopping at the Outlet Mall..and WOW did we ever find deals, it was so so so fun. all the brand names, and ya it was just great, we pretty much finished our Christmas shopping there. Then we headed for Planet Hollywood got our tickets and decided to go for lunch at the Harley Davidson Cafe. It was SOOO cool, and the food was actually very very good. Huge ass portions!
Stomp out Loud was AMAZING. I will rave about it for a long time to come I am sure. If you have the chance see it, b/c I just loved it and was in awe. Afterwards we went to the Paris and went up the Eiffel Tower, which was really cool.
Thursday we headed to Madam Toussad's wax museum, and toured the casino's down by it. Jared and I got tickets to go see Bill Engvall (He's part of the Blue Collar Comedy with Jeff Foxworthy and Larry the Cable Guy). He was so funny, we had a great time at him. Then we headed over to the stratosphere. Some of the group went on the ride , not I though..NO THANKS. We were already up 108 floors, and that was good enough for me.
Friday, all the ladies went over to Cowboy Christmas again for a bit, while the guys played in a poker tournament and then went to the gun range. For supper we went to the Hard Rock Cafe, which was pretty good. We got souvenir glasses from pretty much every restaurant we went to..well ok 3 of them. But even better, they all made it back home!!
After supper, Jared and I went our own way and toured the MGM, coke store, M & M store, the New York New York, and Mandalay Bay.
Over all we had a marvelous time. And I think I am hooked on going on a yearly vacation from now on. I get to stick to that for at least one more year anyways...Heidi is getting married in Jamaica and I am in her wedding..so YA BABY!! We are excited for that!
Take a look at my pics on facebook.
Oh and Tonight is My stampin Up party. I will also be serving some munchies from Epicure (which I sell). Let's get together and have a night together before Christmas.
Sounds like you guys had a wonderful time in Vegas! If you go again, there's a club across from the Hard Rock called The Rainbow Room...we had a pretty good time there! Hope you had fun at your Stampin Up party...who is demonstrating for you?
ReplyDeleteYes I can't wait to move my SU business there. I do mostly classes in my own home...but will have to find somewhere else to demo when we're living in our RV for a year!!! Can't wait to have you do an Epicure party or two. My favorite recipe from them is the Extrorinary Cheese Dip.
