Vegas Baby!

Garrett and I had been looking forward to this Vegas trip for months!  As you can see, we saved up and were ready to hit the tables!  We were driving out to meet Garrett's mom and step dad as well as some of their friends and relatives.  And we were going with no kids!!!  Thanks to Grandma Judy and Shauna, we were a free couple for the weekend!

After we got settled in our Flamingo hotel room, we headed down to Margaritaville for drinks, snacks and an impromptu show right in front of us!

It was a wild night to be had in our kicks! :)

Matt and Garrett got right back to their crazy antics!

And Brian and I got our crazy on too!  Everyone did really well on this black jack table and we had a fun dealer.  I'm usually too intimidated to sit down but she was so nice and helpful, made it fun!

Then we headed to an Irish place, can't remember the name of it, where they had a live band and the boys did a little more gambling.  And drinking of course.

Matt kept buying these crazy big cups with fruity drinks in them, hilarious!

And the night appropriately ended with two slices of pizza in our hotel room. :)

The next morning, after a very expensive stop at Starbucks, (everything is twice as much there!) we headed to Planet Hollywood where they have a large shopping mall.  We wanted to grab a few things and chill out.

After a lazy day, some gambling, and a nap, we headed to Hole in the Wall Batistas where they have delicious Italian food and the cutest old accordion player!

Then we hopped on the city bus and headed to old downtown at Fremont Street.  They covered it and put a show up on the ceiling every hour.  Pretty cool!

I caught a picture of all the boys together, kind of.

How many times have I seen this cowboy in movies and I'd never seen it in person!

The next morning, after a breakfast buffet, we headed to NYNY, where I enjoyed my favorite slot machine, Wheel of Fortune!

And I won!  You can't see the amount here but it was $100!

Garrett and I bought passes to the CSI experience since it's my dream to be a CSI, thanks to my favorite show.  It was fun, we had to figure out a mystery from the scene of a crime and piece together the evidence to find out that it was twins! :)  Aha!

All of Garrett's family kept betting at the video poker machines at the bars since you get free drinks that way, so we decided to hit each casino on our walk back to the Flamingo and try our luck.  And we did pretty good!  I think I lost over all but Garrett won and we both came out with at least 4 free drinks each!

This is about when we decided to get that tattoo we'd been wanting...

What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas!

Best trip ever!
