WelComE to VeGaS!!!

VEGAS BABY!!!!!!!!!!!
I took this from the walkway over the street. Let me just say this picture does not do justice!!!
Where to start I don't even know.
We Stayed at the Luxor hotel. Which was a cool hotel, but not one of my favorites!! Which was okay because we really weren't there much. We saw so much stuff I can't even tell you it still makes my head spin. The first night we went to Excaliber for their dinner show. It was really good food and a really good show. We cheered for the villian, it was really fun. And yeah to boot we sat right by a wedding group. The couple had just gotten married, and by the end of the show we were listening to them yelling at each other. I guess you can't go to vegas without that experience. Or we couldn't!!!
The next day we went out and walked ALL DAY!!!!! No joke all day. I had a goal to hit all the hotels on the strip. Let me tell you I really couldn't do it there is just too much to see. We did go to a ton of them though. We went to the MGM and saw the lions there. If you have never been there you can walk in a tunnel area where the lions are all around you. One of the nice lions had a great time peeing right above our heads. But she did let me get a really good picture of her.We

ended in the MGM for a couple of hours without even realizing. WE got suckered into rating a tv show which we were hoping would be cool. Yeah not so much we got stuck watching the price is right. We also tried the CSI experience. Interesting is all we have to say!!!





We headed down the strip after that as we were making our way to The Venetian. We went to the M&M store, which is huge and has so much stuff. WoW!!! As we were walking we went to this little area that was a hawaiian market. It was really fun because two twin brothers were singing for everyone and an older lady was just up dancing. Very entertaining and the lady had a great attitude!! this is in one of the pictures above.
We continued to make our way down the strip looking at different stores and hotels. We went to the Flamingo and we stopped at the Pearl Shop. It was really cool because Aaron got the choose and oyster for me that was guarenteed to have a pearl. She he chose we we did the ceremony that they do to say hi and goodbye to the oyster. They opened it up and it ended up being a blue silver pearl with a pink hue. A blue silver pearl is only found in 7/100 oysters. So it was a more rare pearl that he ended up choosing. She had us hold holds with the pearl so that our oils were the first on the pearl. It was really and I am excited to possibly make it into a ring. It was really sweet that Aaron wanted to do that!!
One of my favorite hotels was the paris. I loved feeling like you were walking in the streets of paris. So amazing.... We had crepes while we were there and they were huge, and really really good!!
WE finally made it to the Venetian later that night. Yes it took all day to get to the venetian and our feet hurt so bad but it was well worth it!!
I love the venetian. I think it was by far my favorite hotel. I loved the area where you walked through and it was made to look like the sky above you. They had gondala rides which we wanted to do but just didn't have time for. While we were there we saw Phantom of the Opera which was really really really good!!! I loved the special effects and it was a really good performance.





The next day we headed out again. However, we learned out lesson and took the monorail as much as we could. We saw the mirage with the tigers and albino lions and the dolphins. We also saw mandalay bay where we saw the aquarium and ate at The House of Blues. Really good.
We really saw a lot more of New York New York. Which is also really cool inside!! That night we saw our final show at Treasure Island. But before hand we at dinner at the Big Kahuna. It was amazing food. And the presentation was just as good as the taste!!


After a great dinner we went as saw Mystere cirque de solei. That was my favorite show that we saw. And it was amazing and the side show was really funny. I really want to go back and see this show again. Aaron and I both really loved and enjoyed this show.
On our way out of the show Treasure Island was just getting there outside show started that is called the Sirens.
It was a memorable experience that was amazing. I had a great time having a whole week of my husband to myself!!! I can't wait to go on other trips like this one. Amazing.
Oh and on our way out of town we also stop and of course shopped at the outlet malls. It was a must!!!!
