Back from Sin City

Just got home from Vegas today. Danny and I went up on Thursday night, after work and stayed at the Palazzo (love it there). We happened to get something in the mail from the hotel for his birthday for 2-4 free nights, so we decided to go.

We checked in a little after midnight on Thursday and went to sleep. After all, we had been up and at work all day long. Some rest was necessary.

Friday morning we woke up and decided to walk to TI for breakfast. So much food, we couldn't even eat it all. That didn't stop us from hitting up Sheridan's Frozen Custard in Henderson for lunch. Then we decided to go to Red Rock Hotel and check it out. After getting lost, we finally made it there. We walked around the hotel and saw that they had a bowling alley. We decided to bowl a game. What a huge place - there were 60 lanes, PLUS a private VIP area for private parties. So big. Then Danny played a little blackjack, while I watched. Afterwards, we came back to our hotel and relaxed and got ready for dinner. We went to Michael Mina's Seablue Restaurant in MGM Grand. Very tasty. I had scallops with steamed spinach and chick pea rice, and Danny had some fish that I cant really pronounce or spell. It was Loup de Mare or something like that. Everything was really tasty. Afterwards, we met my mom at our hotel and Danny played some more blackjack. Then it was bed time.

Saturday morning was nice. We slept in past 7:00 a.m., which was nice. My mom picked us up from the hotel around 11:30 and we headed to this restaurant called Gardunos in The Palms. Once again that was another huge meal. While we were there, we saw that the Backstreet Boys were doing a show there at Pearl. So, Danny decided to ask if there were any tickets available - there were. He bought 2 tickets in a box on the side of the stage and they were pretty great seats. We came back to the hotel and watched The Strangers on Pay Per View. We cancelled our dinner reservations for that evening and had some italian food in the Venetian before the show. We headed over to The Palms and saw the concert. It was alot of fun. It's too bad Nick couldn't sing any of his parts though. He had the audience do the majority of his singing, which was a little annoying to me. But, whatever. It was still a good show. After we left The Palms, we came back to our hotel and decided to get some dessert at Grand Lux Cafe. I had a Candy Bar Pie and Danny had Boston Cream Pie. Oh my word...they were so good, but WAY too rich for a before bedtime snack.

This morning we met my mom at The Original Pancake House at Green Valley Ranch Hotel. Had some breakfast and then hit the road. Got home around 2:45 and I have been relaxing ever since. Now it's back to work tomorrow, but luckily its a very short week. Yay! Only 2 1/2 days of work and then its Turkey Day. I love Thanksgiving and this year we have 2 meals to go to. One at 3:00 and one at 6:00. I better bring some pants that expand in the waist. Hahaha.

Anyway, sorry for the lack of updates, but life has been hectic. I will try to update more often. If I don't get to update before next week, then I hope you all have a very Happy Thanksgiving.
