Vegas: The Final Post

So Sunday night we wen to see Rodney Carrington and those tickets got us half off the Monte Carlo buffet for the next day- so we woke up and met everyone over at the Monte Carlo- it was cheap and you could tell- compared to the MGM Grand Buffet this one was sub par. Whomp whomp! However, it filled us up and we planned out our day. Justin and I were going to finish up seeing the casinos while everyone else went to the roller coaster (no thank you). I really wanted to see the new casinos and they were so pretty. Justin thought they were extravagant- I used the word- glamorous.

the Cosmo

this store front was completely made of old sewing machines- from  floor to ceiling- it was really cool. I thought it was something my grandma would like

The Cosmo Lobby- with everything else in the Cosmo their lobby was disappointing

The Bellagio

We walked through the lobby of the Bellagio and looked at the flower display they have. It was gorgeous!  I read somewhere that they have 3 full time gardeners who work 140 hrs a week keeping everything looking tip-top.

It was beautiful. 

From there we walked on to Caesars Palace- walked around, played some slots, took my picture in the lobby : ) By this point I was regretting this whole picture in every lobby- my legs and feet were killing me. But I was determined now.

We walked to our hotel where we had a smoothie and waited for the Treasure Island show to start. We walked all the way down there, stood and waited for it to start (cause they tell you to get there 30 minutes early) only for them to tell us that due to the winds the show was cancelled. HMPH! So we went and won some money on some slots and took my picture outside (their lobby was a regular hotel lobby- boring)

 We walked back to hotel and met up with Ragan and Brad for our last night in Vegas. We decided we would walk along the shops in the Venetian and just enjoy each others company and people watch. They are having a "carnival" and people are all dressed up in French costumes and singing. It was neat. We convinced the boys to take us on a gondola ride to end our night. It was a fabulous day and evening. 

After walking around- it was time for our ride.

It was late after the ride so we headed up to bed while Ragan & Brad adventured around some more. We decided that our last day we would lay out for a little while, go to the mall and then head to the airport. So we did just that. We had late checkout so Ragan & Brad came over to our room and the boys went and gambled while Ragan and I went to the pool. It was quiet and nice. It was the perfect end to our vacation. 

We laid out then went up and took quick showers before checking out and dropping our luggage off. We then walked over to the mall. I really wanted to go to H&M (I've never been to one) but I had the wrong shops and they didn't have one. Whomp Whomp! It was okay though- we shopped anyways. : ) 

We realized as we were checking out I hadn't taken my lobby photo in the Venetian which is where we stayed. 

 Outside the mall- with Wynn behind us

 the closest we got to the "Las Vegas sign"

 Successful trip

On our way back to hotel to catch a cap and get back to real life. It was a wonderful trip and we could all hardly wait to see our babies. We facetimed with Ascher and they skyped with Kinley & Avery. All three children could care less about us they were having so much fun. Made us all feel good. We didn't get back to Houston until after midnight. It was a long day of traveling but I am so glad we did it that way. 

Viva Las Vegas!!
