Las Vegas!

Wayne and I spent the weekend in Vegas! Wayne was there on business a few days before, and I flew there to meet him. We left Nathan with Mama, Papa, Aunt Carrie, Uncle Chris, Cookie, and Otis so he was in excellent hands! From what I heard, he was completely spoiled :) I actually started my vacation on Thursday because even though my flight wasn't leaving until Friday morning, mom and dad thought it would be easier if I dropped Nathan off Thursday afternoon instead of early that morning. Sounds great to me! So after dropping Nathan off, I got my hair cut, ate a fattening dinner, packed, and watched my trashy reality shows :)

I had a great flight, although it was kind of strange traveling by myself. With Wayne not there, I thought I better leave early just to make sure I knew where to park, get checked in, go through security, and still have a little time left over. Well, it only took me 45 minutes to get from my house to the gate...I still had an hour and 15 minutes to kill! So I bought some magazines, got Starbucks, and relaxed.

When I got to the hotel, I got Wayne and I a margarita, and then met him in the room. We relaxed for a little while and then headed out to explore. We went out to dinner at Caesar's Palace, and then walked up and down the strip. There were lights everywhere and tons of people! I loved it! The next day, we slept in, ordered room service for breakfast, and then walked around the strip some more. We walked into all of the casinos and ate lunch at New York, New York. It's so neat how all of the casinos have themes! Here are some pictures of New York, New York:

There's even a roller coaster outside of this hotel/casino!

Wayne loved the ESPN Zone. There were probably 40 tvs with different games on each.

I played a few slots and won a whopping 2 dollars!

After exploring all of the casinos and hotels, we made our way back to our hotel. It was so hot, so we changed into our suits and laid out at the pool. Boy was that a good "people watching" site. I think Vegas is the least modest place there is! We actually saw girls in tiny thongs prancing around! What was crazy is that although a lot of the people did look good, there were plenty who needed to cover up a bit...very interesting :)

After enjoying the pool (and a few more margaritas) for a while, we took showers, got ready, and then headed to the Luxor for dinner and a show. The Luxor had an Egyptian theme, and was very fancy. We ate dinner at a night club themed restaurant called The Cathouse. The food was amazing, and the atmosphere was like a sophisticated brothel! We loved it! Afterwards, we went to the Cris Angel show. He's an illusionist and combined his tricks with a Cirque de Soleil performance. Even thought it was 11:00 when we got out, the night was still young! We went back to the hotel, got more drinks, and gave the casino our money! We we were having so much fun that before we realized it, it was 3:00 in the morning! This city never sleeps! There were still tons of people up and since it's dark in the casino, you have no idea what time it is. I finally went up to the room at 5:00, and Wayne stayed up playing roulette until 7:00!

We got a few hours slept (we actually overslept) and raced to the airport the next morning thinking we were going to miss our flight. But we got there just as everyone was boarding. We had the most fun and definitely want to go back!

I wish I had more pictures to show you, but you all know...what happens in Vegas, STAYS in Vegas!
