Viva Las Vegas

Robert and I decided to get take a winter escape to Las Vegas this past weekend! Neither of us had ever been to Vegas, so we thought we better go while we still can before we move far away. We left for our trip on Thursday evening after I got off work and drove to Cedar City where we stayed at my Uncle Kevin and Aunt Shari’s house for the night. The next day, Friday, we made the other leg of the trip to Vegas arriving just around noon! We stayed at Caesar’s Palace, and we loved it. We would definitely recommend it! We checked in and found that we could get a great deal if we upgraded, so we did since we got our original room for cheap anyways. We were so glad we did! We loved our room; I loved it mainly because it had a jacuzzi tub! We were in the center of the strip (so great location and close to everything), and we were on one of the highest floors, which gave us a great view of the strip.

Here are some photos from our trip:

Beautiful Utah

Almost there...

The jacuzzi tub, it was well worth it after walking all day!

The first day we were there we decided to just walk the strip and visit all of the neat hotels. Our favorite hotels were the Venetian, Ceasar's Palace, the Palazzo, and of course the Bellagio.

The lion exhibit at the MGM Grand. It was awesome! You were able to get so close to the lions because the glass is sound proof. This is a tunnel that we are standing in, and they are laying on top of us. Never thought I would be able to see a lion like this before. This was one of Robert's favorite things we did.

Just relaxing next to a lion.

Another one of Robert's highlights from the trip was getting to see Pete Rose in person.

Trying to win the jackpot :)

While at a classic car show, we ran into Brad Garrett from the TV show, Everybody Loves Raymond.

We got tickets for free in our hotel coupon book to attend this car show, and loved it. It was fun to see all the unique classics. Some of these cars were selling for 1.8 million.

Another highlight of the trip was when I found a nice semi formal dress while shopping in the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace.

Eating at Sensi, a fancy restaurant in the Bellagio before going to the Cirque du Soleil "O" Show.

The beautiful ceiling in the theatre at the "O" show.

The show was unbelievable! The stage was a hard stage at times and a pool at other moments, so we were able to see divers, acrobats, and synchronized swimming. We had a fabulous trip to Vegas. The weather was perfect and sunny. On Sunday, we drove back home, but we stopped again in Cedar City where we went to church and ate dinner with my Uncle Kevin. It is always hard coming back.
