We're back - Part 2



For the 2nd part of our trip, we left Keira with Mom and Mark and headed to Vegas! It was so relaxing. I know that isn't probably what you expect to hear as a description of Vegas, but we spent 12 plus hours by the pool, so it was great. Better had I been able to enjoy some frozen adult beverages while laying by said pool, but great nonetheless. As you can see, Wade enjoyed himself!



We stayed at the Flamingo, which I love because it's center strip, the pool area is nice, and it's still pretty cheap - all my prerequisites for vegas. We went and saw O at Bellagio. Wade had never been to a Cirque du Soleil show, so I really wanted him to see one. It did not disappoint, though I still think of all the ones I have seen, Mystere is my favorite. We stopped at Margaritaville for some soveniours. Sadly, Jimmy was performing in Vegas about a week ago, I can't believe we missed him by that much!

Can you believe that they put THIS in our room!!!! Seriously, have they not met me? Do they not know that the sprays hit me right in the face and cannot be adjusted down? What were they thinking? Wade said it made a nice hand washer!

We also made it out to the Fabulous Las Vegas sign! One of those things you always see pictures of, but never do! I was pretty happy about the photo op!

We, of course, made our "donation" to the casinos, some of us more than others, but I won't tell who! Though I will say I ended day 2 up by $20! That was pretty exciting ... ha! We played these roulette computers that I thought were pretty cool - basically it was roulette, but you bet on your own on a computer screen and then they had the normal set-up in the center with the wheel and the ball. Wade did quite well on this ... just don't ask him about the black jack tables ;) We went over to O'Sheas for a bit and they were playing Beer Pong there - hilarious!

A great time was had by all! I'll post a few more pics tomorrow from the pool and beach!
