Mommy's getaway to Vegas

My mom has two very close friends, Jane and Barbara. They've been around since before I was born so for me, they've been my "aunties" forever. This past week we went to Vegas to celebrate Barbara's BIG birthday. (I won't put a number up Barbara. :) ) After meeting up at our hotel Paris, we walked the strip and needed to stop for a quick bite and The Perfect Margarita at Margaritaville. Yum! Sue and her daughter Kelly are at the back of the picture and this was the first time we'd had the chance to meet them. Wonderful girls!

We checked out quite a few of the hotels on the strip and almost every one had some display in honor of the Chinese New Year. These pictures are from the Bellagio, beautiful displays.


Things got a little wild in the tram from Bellagio to the Aria. Sue was showing off her pole moves. :)

That night we had happy hour in our hotel room and honored the birthday girl.

After dinner we got crazy and hit the Wheel of Fortune machines, my favorite! Needless to say, the machines took $20 from me over the three days but I had lots of fun pulling that lever!

Here's the view from our window, amazing! You can even see the Bellagio water show in the background!

The next day we did a lot more walking through casinos and hotels. This is in the Venetian, I love this hotel!

No need to fly to Italy, just come here! :) We had a delicious meal at TAO that night and then went to the LOVE show with Cirque du Soliel which honors the Beatles. It was amazing! Happy Birthday Barbara, thanks for inviting us!!!
