Ry and i decided we needed a mini vacation just to get away, so we thought Vegas would be a fun option. We invited our good friend, Greg, and i attempted to find one of my girlfriends to go, but obviously did not succeed. I worked a twelve hour day on Friday and we didn't leave until ten at night, which meant i slept the entire way, good thing Greg was there to keep Ry awake, thanks Greg! I am the worst person to road trip with because i always fall asleep. On our way down we stopped at the point of the mountain to say hi to one of my bestfriends, Steph, it was great to see her, and i was so tempted to just stop there and stay there for the weekend, but we drove on and on and on into the night. We arrived in Mesquite early in the morning and decided to try our luck gambling, i played black jack with forty dollars that Ry gave me, and guess what?! I got up $42.50, wha whooo!!! I was the only one to come up that stop and decided i would just keep my money for shopping.
We finally got to Vegas around nine in the morning on Saturday, but we couldn't check into our hotel until noon, so we parked our car at our hotel and wandered the strip for a few hours. I looked dead, since i slept the whole way down (that would be why there are no pics of me this day). As i was checking in i asked the girl working about all the perks that were online when we booked our room, she acted totally bugged that i even said anything, but she knew exactly what i was talking about. After her rolling eyes and much huffing and puffing we got two free tickets to the show ICE, it's a Russian skating troupe, and two free breakfast vouchers, along with a $250 gas card. I highly recommend checking any perks if your are planning on going down there, every hotel has something to offer!!
Outside our hotel waiting for the ICE shoe to start...
The classic picture of the boys and 'Crazy Girls'... I know the boys would have loved to see that show if i would have let them, apparently it has the seven hottest girls in Vegas.. yeah right.
So excited for ICE!!!!
ICE was such an amazing show full of acrobatics, some of the strongest guys i have ever seen, awesome skating, and you know that skating move that the guy swings the girl around by her feet and her head comes centimeters from the ice?? They totally did that...and TONS more!!!
Sunday was definitely my favorite day,i got an hour massage at our hotel while the boys played craps, and then my cousin Nikki that lives in Vegas came to hang out with us. We had lunch with the boys at this place (i forget the name,) very similar to Tucanos, it was delish!!! After that the boys went to wander back to the hotel and Nikki and i shopped and shopped, it was SO fun!!! Once we were satisfied with all of our purchases we went back to the hotel to get the boys and play on the strip for the night.
Us going down the escalator at TI, formerly known as Treasure Island, they are trying to appeal to the "more adult" audience or something like that.
As we were waiting for the pirate show to start there were these little Asian ladies that were quite pushy, so when they took a pic Nikki and i popped our cute faces into the back of their picture not thinking they would look at it as soon as they were done, our bad, they were talking angry Asian and gave us little evil looks---bah ha but it was so worth it. And the "TI" show, is not a pirate show at all, we had heard it had changed, but were still expecting pirate fights and yo ho yo ho type pirates.... to our surprise a bunch of girls in underwear and big belts came out parading around a ship, yelling at the boys on the other ship a bunch of sexual things, and on top of that they were awful dancers!! I couldn't believe all the kids that were watching, it is not even close to a kid show, i would recommend the Mirage show over this times a million.
Seconds after the volcano show at the Mirage, much better than the pirate show

The only pole dancing the boys got to see on our trip;-)
The boys giving it a whirl...
Viva Las Vegas!!!!!!!!!

I had so much fun with you guys and those pictures turned out really cute!! So did the guys ‘hit it big’ in Mesquite on the way back?
yayy that looks like fun! did you see anyone famous? i always tend to see people there, but they are all D listers like Mike Tyson and Jeremy Pivon :( but it looks like you had a marvelous time! next time its me you kristen and randi going!
Okay I didn't notice you wrote this post until today..
I thought you were going just the two of you? Who's stupid Greg and why did he come and ruin your romantic getaway? I'm sorry that you had to walk the strip before you could relax and freshen up! I HATE that feeling. That's amazing about the perks, it's like they practically paid you to stay there.. I hate the treasure island public strip show, not nearly as good as the other one and so inappropriate! Anyways it looks like you guys had fun but I'm with Dara on this one- it should be us on a girls trip,
Looks like you guys had a blast!
Hooray for Las Vegas! I'm so sad I missed you this trip. Next time you decide to go, we're coming too. I agree with Randy- why did your romantic getaway that was supposed to help you relax and rekindle the flame become a tricycle?
