Las Vegas

Awhile back Josh and I decided we needed to go on a trip just the two of us.  We haven't been on a trip longer than a day or two since the kids were born and Clay is 11 this year.  I was so excited when he mentioned it and ran with the idea.  We decided to go to Las Vegas for a week.  I really wanted to stay somewhere nice, plus I found a really good deal on a ticket plus room combo to stay at Trump Towers and it was a suite facing the strip to boot.  It was GORGEOUS! I mean, posh on crack gorgeous!  Full kitchen and living room and dining room plus 2 full bathrooms and one of them was ofcourse huge with a TV within the mirror!  Part of the mirror, not lying, don't know why you'd need one in there, but I turned it on the 1st day and watched the news while getting ready and the bedroom, awww, just didn't want to come home and sleep on my lumpy bed after sleeping on a cloud for the last few days....  But really we didn't spend much time at Trump Towers.  We walked all around the strip several times, So much to see and ofcourse so much to do...

The 1st night there we took a shuttle from Trump to Caesar's Palace and walked around, there's basically a mall inside the place and so we walked around there and over and around looking at all the lights, and people.  The next day we walked around again, all over the place and in the afternoon we went to Fremont St which is basically the old strip.  It was really neat too, but you had to take a taxi to it, it was too far away.  There we went to a murder mystery/comedy that had Josh and I in stitches.

There were only 40 people there and dinner was served as well and during the dinner the people in the audience died/murdered...  So you didn't know if you were sitting next to a cast member or an audience member, imagine interactive Clue.  After that we got tickets to a comedy show and he was hilarious too.  He claimed to be a telepathic comedian and dang if he didn't have Josh and I convinced that he just might have been by the end of the show.


The next day we walked the entire strip down all the way and back and that was quite a ways, we did a lot of walking this week that's for sure.  That night we went to the Stratosphere and went up the tower to see the overlook all over Las Vegas for miles and miles and miles.  Gorgeous...

















The next day was our last so we went the other direction from the strip and found this fun casino called Circus Circus and in it there was a large arcade area (imagine if you are at the circus x 20) and we thought it would be fun to take all these random photos of us "playing" arcade games and send them to the boys telling them we were having so much fun without them.... they were so jealous!  haha, and then I got a water massage, and then back to the room, rested and then to the free shows,















 We saw Treasure Island boat show where the 2 boats shot to eachother and there's fireworks and then over to the Mirage to see the volcano erupt and then finally the Bellagio to see the water dance to music (my favorite). 

Ofcourse we gambled too.  I just gave money to the slot machines... Josh actually knew what he was doing and made some money, then lost some money, then made some money, then spent some money, then lost and you see a pattern here... but we had so much fun... now it's back to reality and to children and responsiblities...and apparently back to my lumpy bed...
