Vegas Baby!

Our trip to Vegas was so much fun, it was so nice to actually go on a vacation without the kids (thanks Mom and Dad!). We went with my sister and drove down, we got there around 2:30 pm, went down to the buffet and ate, then started shopping!!! we stayed at T.I., which is right across the street from Fashion Show mall, which for me was perfect! We shopped for 4 hrs there! Kurt was quite pooped by the end of it, but he did great, and didn't complain once. After shopping we met up with some of my sister's friends and went to dinner at Maggiano's, its an amazing italian place, the food was amazing!The next morning Kurt and I walked down to the Paris hotel and ate breakfast at Mon Ami Gabi, this little french restaurant right across the street from the fountains at Bellagio. It was a little too cold and windy to sit outside, but we got the next best thing, they sat us right next to the window. We had an amazing view of the strip, and to top it off, our crapes were delicious! Then we met up with my sister at the Miracle Mile shops at Planet Hollywood and shopped for several more hours. I was most excited to shop at H & M since we don't have one in Utah, unfortunatly the store was packed, but I did manage to find some cute shirts and jeans, for way cheap. That evening we ate at an amazing Mexican restaurant at T.I. called Isla. It was so much good food, we totally could have gotten away with just appetizers, because by the time, out entrees arrived we were stuffed! Then we headed off to go see Daniel Tosh. He is one of my new favorite comedians. He was great, and even his opening act, a guy named Jasper Redd was hilarious. It was such a fun night, I really didn't want it to end.Sunday morning we decided to skip breakfast and just have an early lunch. So, we drove down to Mandalay Bay and ate at the Burger bar. This place was SO, SO good! They had the most amazing burgers and fries and I ordered a twinkie shake, it was so yummy, its sounds like such a weird combination, but it was so delicious! Then we headed over to the Premium Outlets. I found such amazing deals at the Kenneth Cole outlet, I so wish we had one here in Park City. I would be there every week! By the end of shopping here we were all pretty shopped-out! We went back to the hotel and took naps. For dinner that night we drove down to MGM and ate at the Grand Wok, Dani and Kurt wanted sushi and they also had great Chinese food for me, then we walked down to the fountains at Bellagio. We were all completely exhausted by the end of this trip, but we had a ton of fun!
