Viva Las Vegas!

Even though Jason and I were just there in Jan.  We were back in Vegas last weekend for my wonderful sister-in-law's (Jill) 40th birthday!

Jason and Jill drove up on Wed. to spend the night with thier dad - then Robyn (other sis-in-law) and I flew up on Thursday morning - EARLY!!!  Some other friends met up with us later that day!

After they picked us up at the airport - we went to Denny's (on the strip) for some food - starving!  And -Jill had a piece of birthday cake at 9 am ;0)  OH well...  We stopped by Larry's (Jason, Jill and Robyn's Dad) office to say Hi.

Robyn, Jill, Larry and Jason

Then we headed to the outlet malls for some shopping!  Jason was a trooper and seemed to really enjoy helping us shoe shop!  Oh yeah - and Jill was rocking her birthday "outfit". 

Once the shopping was done - it was off to the Hotel to check in and have a little rest before we went out for the night.  We had to make it visit to the "Las Vegas Sign" and then drove down to the M Hotel and Casino - it is way off the strip - but worth the drive.  We had a wonderful dinner at ??? .  It is on the top of the hotel and has a great view looking back at the strip - however the pics did not turn out at all ;0(

 

Part of our dinner...the Mac and Cheese was to die for!!

After dinner we headed to the Imperial Palace for the "Diva's Las Vegas" Show - it is a female impersonator show, definatly adult - but still lots of fun.

Friday was the "big day".  Once we were up and moving, we hit the strip for a while

Fun at M & M World

All the ladies

Yummy "lunch" at New York New York

Then, after another round of naps - we were off for our night on the town.  We started at the Outback for Dinner - and Jill's amazing cake (made by a friend of ours who works at the Aria)

Then off to dance the night away at "Tryst" night club at the Wynn.

Cool falls over the lake at the club

The dance floor

Nuff said

It is fun to be married to a guy with long arms ;0)

We did not stay at the club long - just not our "scene" - so back to the hotel for Jello shots.....

It has been a long time since I saw 3 am...and it did not involve feeding an infant!

Whew - sorry - this is the longest blog ever ;0)  On Sat (or Recovery day for some)...a few of us ate breakfeast at Hash House a Go Go - lots of fun and huge portions!!

Chicken and Waffles

Me and my plate - that is a biscut with a sprig of Rosemary in it...

The rest of the day was just hanging out and shopping - then Sunday - the dreaded drive home...next time - I am flying both ways ;0)

Anyway - we had a blast and Jill had a wonderful birthday trip!!!
