Back in November, we took a trip down to Las Vegas for our Birthdays. We had a great time together. It was kind of a "last" trip alone before the babies arrive next year. We got a great discount from a friend at the Springhill Marriott just off of the strip. (You know who you are friend -- again, thank you!)
We left home Wednesday November 10th and drove down. We arrived in Vegas about 3:30pm. We got ready, and then went and found parking at the Bellagio, took a look at the botanical gardens and then we headed down the strip to the Mirage where they have Siegfried and Roy's secret garden and dolphin habitat. Now... for those of you who know me, I LOVE DOLPHINS! I could have sat and watched them all night long! We were kind of rushed to see everything in there cause they were closing, but we got to see some great tricks from the dolphins!After the Mirage we walked around a bit through Caesar's Palace and a few other places, just site seeing. Then we went back to our hotel room to relax. Our hotel room had a balcony at the very top of the building which had great views!
We stopped at the MGM, and watched the lions. They were sleeping and the trainers, were just sitting there. I thought it was really cool!
Later Thursday night we went and saw Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian. HOLY COW! That show was fantastic. I recommend it to anyone going to Vegas. We got a great deal on the seats so we couldn't pass it up (Again, thank you to our friend for those too!) Even Justin liked the show! He hates musicals. But the special effects were the best! We loved the show!
Friday we went swimming at the hotel, and then we got ready for the day and went out for some more sight seeing. One of the places we went was Madame Tussades Wax Museum. That place was really cool! We had a great time taking pictures there! Here are some of them:
On Saturday, we were running out of things to do. I think we finished some last minute things we wanted to do on the strip like watching the pirate show at Treasure Island, and little things like that. We also got tickets from Justin's aunt to go see a comedian at the Fitz. It was a funny show! After the show we went to Freemont street. It was SO cool! I've never seen it! They do some awesome things, and the light show they do in the dome is really cool!
We had a great time in Vegas! I'm glad we got the chance to go down there!
