VEGAS!!!

We survived Vegas. More like, I survived Vegas. I had been there once before so I knew what we were getting ourselves into. I am definitely a beach-type girl vacationer. Remember? We were supposed to go to Mexico but due to the drug wars we changed it to Vegas. Also, the majority of friends were giving me hell for changing my vacation from Mexico to Vegas. I kept telling them that I was just afraid something would happen the week before we were supposed to leave that would keep us from going. My head was on the drug wars, never expecting Swine Flu to hit America and Mexico. I am soooooooo glad I changed it to Vegas. But, if it's up to me, this will be my last time to Vegas. I'm just not really a big gambler, although Morgan likes it. He's pretty good. I just hate sticking money in the machines and it being gone in 2 minutes. Or putting $10 down on black and it turns up red. That's my luck. We did hang out by the pool. The Wynn has an absolutely gorgeous, relaxing pool. They play the most relaxing music. If it was up to me, we would've stayed out there ALL day, but Morgan wasn't having it. He wanted to go see everything. We went to most of the hotels. We walked every where we went. I was exhausted. Completely different from our honeymoon in Jamaica. We decided that when, if ever, we go back we will stay at the Venetian. It's such a beautiful hotel AND they have a food court. Here are some pics of our Vegas trip. We took over a 100 so here's a select few...



I took this picture the first day we got there. I really don't have many of us together because I always hate asking complete strangers to take a picture of us. Although, most seem more than happy to take it for us.
We stayed at the Wynn. Absolutely BEAUTIFUL hotel!!! The casinos in the Encore and Wynn do not get any nicer than these. The decor in these hotels is amazing. The food is really good, but WAY too pricey. These hotels are definitely for the rich, which we most definitely aren't. Most of the hotels, including the Venetian, have food courts in them, as well as restaurants. Ours only had restaurants. They did have one place called Sugar & Spice that served hamburgers, etc. They also served ice cream. I fell in love in Vegas with Chocolate & Oreos ice cream. I had never had it before but I had it EVERY night we were there. It was so yummy!!!


We went to the Paris hotel and went to the top of the Eiffel Tower. The view of the Las Vegas strip is so pretty from the top. The Bellagio water show is so pretty from the air. I wish I had more night pictures but my camera has issues when it comes to taking night pictures.





I love New York. I have been there twice so I had to take a picture of the hotel. I hope some day I can take Morgan there. I'd love to see New York through his country boy eyes. I think we would have so much fun together.

We said that we wanted to see one show while we were there. Ever since I have heard of the Beatles Love Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas I have always wanted to see it. So we did. It was so worth the money. Keeps your attention the ENTIRE time. The only problem is that they serve these ridiculous LARGE amounts of beer/mixed drinks in these HUGE glasses and have a HORRIBLE exit strategy when the show is over. I wish I had a picture of everyone crammed together and everyone needing to pee so bad! It was pretty funny, although Morgan didn't think so.
This is in the Wynn sitting at a bar and looking up. The decor there is so bright and cheery.

These are the waterfalls outside of the Wynn. So pretty!

These are the waterfalls at night.

This is the HUGE waterfall that is outside the Lobby of the Wynn. You could sit out there and have drinks. So peaceful.

  1. Las Vegas is where we honeymooned 30 years ago. I really enjoyed it, but it was a lot different then. I wouldn’t let myself pay anything other than the nickel slot machines, back then it required only one coin. I could play all day on $10.00 and not feel bad if I lost. I’m glad you had a good time, but I’m with you on New York – we’ve been there 2 or 3 times and never made it out of Manhattan and I want to go back. KH
