Las Vegas!!

This past Monday, the 20th, Laura and I took our free trip to Las Vegas that we got by sitting through a 90 minute timeshare presentation, well worth it. We got tickets to stay at Circus Circus for 3 nights, and we only used 2 nights because school is pretty important. It was a great opportunity to get away for a little bit and have some fun. So Monday morning we took off from Cedar and drove through a piece of Arizona...


and then into Nevada, (I like taking pictures of the state welcome signs, while I'm driving).

When we got to Las Vegas, a few hours later, we visited with Lindsay Butterfield and her boys and had some awesome peach cobbler... mmm. So we got to our hotel and we thought we were going to be in a little room in the motel section out back. Instead they put us up on the 19th floor with a King size bed and everything. It was pretty awesome, although the view wasn't exactly the greatest, but much better than if we had been in the motel part.

After we checked in we decided to walk for a while and got down to the strip to go walking and seeing the amazing casinos there. We walked a lot in Planet Hollywood, then we headed over to the Belagio Fountains to watch the water dance.

That was pretty sweet, and it happens every half hour, with different music and motions. We went into the Belagio to look at the shops and we bought some Gelato, or italian ice cream, it was sooo good. Very soft and creamy. We also saw their flower room or whatever you call it, that was pretty cool because it was this gallery of cool designs, like some kind of enchanted forest, inside the hotel.





We ate dinner at the Planet Hollywood Restaurant, (We had a $40 coupon and spent $39.74 of it haha).





Then we decided to travel the world; we saw Paris, Rome, and Italy all in one night. Which may be one of the coolest parts of Las Vegas.





This all happened on Monday night, Tuesday morning Laura flew out to a dental school interview at USC, while I stayed in Las Vegas, trying to stay out of trouble. j/k I went and walked around for a while, ate at ESPN Zone, which is inside the New York, New York hotel, across from Excalibur. that was pretty awesome, I showed up some Aussies trying to play a football game in the ESPN arcade. I thought that was cool. I picked up Laura later that night and we went to Applebee's and had dinner using our gift card, so another free dinner for us ;-D

That was it for Tuesday, Wednesday morning we woke up and Laura studied BioChem while I studied for my insurance exam. We went home after that and that was it. The trip was pretty awesome and on the way home we got pulled over because my foot got heavy and we were going a little fast, but the guy let us off with a warning. So that was a relief. lol The first time I've ever been let off with a warning! I hope you enjoyed this. see ya later!
