Vegas Update #1

Apparently my video poker skills are limited to my laptop. Financially, the trip was a bust. But fun-wise, over the top!! On our first day we got giant margaritas and walked around the mall (whoever had this idea is a genius! Seriously. It is way too easy to spend money when you're a little margarita-tipsy), then we had dinner and saw an OK magician, Steve Wyrick. He took himself a little too seriously for my taste. Next day (Anniversary!) we sat by the pool, visited the Forum Shops at Caesar's (always a fave), drank more giant margaritas on the long, HOT walk back to our hotel, saw Love (Beatles/Cirque de Soleil combo and GREAT!) then split a giant piece of cheesecake at the Carnegie Deli. Yesterday we visited the Hard Rock Casino, then the M&M's store right outside the MGM to get gifts for the kids. Sat by the pool again, then headed over to Rio for a wonderful dinner and saw Penn and Teller. They are SO cool! The restaurant had a photographer walking around and Husband and I got a halfway decent shot of us together after 15 years. Not bad. Got home tonight and headed straight up to my parent's house to pick up the kids. Daughter was not finished being adored and spoiled and didn't want us to come. Son was thrilled to see us, but probably missed the PlayStation more.

Ladies, I don't mean to brag, but Husband plans the best trips! I am one lucky girl. Well, not at video poker.
