Mini Vacation – Las Vegas

July 28th, 2009 at 11:29 am . Posted in My Life .

Within a few hours of leaving for Las Vegas, I received an e-mail saying we’re now homeowners and that we could pick up the keys. We stopped by the house on the way and met my parents there. I left the keys with my parents on purpose and jokingly told them, “just in case you want to get us something and surprise us!”

We arrived Las Vegas after midnight. The humidity there was horrible. This definitely makes me appreciative of the dry heat in Phoenix. I literally shed off 5 pounds from all that sweat!

When Meg checked in at the Luxor she told them we were deaf and they provided us with a TTY and alarm clock. None of us have seen and used a TTY in years!

Things can make you do crazy things in Las Vegas… such as a fake proposal. We were curious of the reactions we would get but not a lot of people were paying attention around us anyways. We saw one 40 year old woman laughing and crying so hard that she peed herself in the middle of the sidewalk.

We can kind of say we’ve been to Paris now. Looks like a huge Paris hat we’re wearing.

Gambling! I loved the Pleasure Pit wheel! Unfortunately Tyler and I didn’t win!
I hung out with the boys while the girls paid $110 to take a nap at a cirque du soleil show (O at the Bellagio)

Me and my girls! It sucks we live all over the place: Ohio, Boston, Texas & Arizona.
Hopefully we’ll have yearly reunions!

Okay, you saw someone PEE THEMSELVES? I would have been back on the plane after that lol That qualifies as too much Vegas for me.

Glad you had what looks like an amazing time!

Can we please address the shirtless guy in the paris picture? OMG!

This even makes me more excited to go next week. I’m heading there with 4 of my girlfriends for 4 days.

@Nancy Haha, no they didn’t. They’ve already helped us more than enough. Although my dad did work on the yard a little bit for us. =)

A girlfriend of mines just visited Las Vegas this weekend as well. You’re both making me so jealous! I’m glad you enjoyed yourself. Vegas is a very beautiful place.
