Viva Las Vegas!

Neil gave me the most wonderful birthday trip to Las Vegas! I have always wanted to go, so Neil made arrangements for us at the MGM Grand the weekend of February 15th. We left on Friday and arrived in Vegas that evening. We spent the trip seeing the sights, eating fantastic food at MGM's famous resturaunts, checking out MGM's lions (yes, they have lions) & sleeping in each morning; something we haven't done in a long time with a puppy in the house & weekday 3:45am alarm clocks. We walked thru multiple casino's; Ballys, NewYork NewYork, the Venetian & Bellagio with the help of the strip's Monorail, which travels up & down the strip up until 3am (only in Vegas, babe). An extra surprise was my celebrity sighting of Clinten Kelly, who stars on TLC's "What Not To Wear". I spotted him in our hotel near the Ka theatre & once I pointed him out he smiled & waved hello. It was so cool! Here I am living in California & I spot someone famous in Vegas. Neil surprised me with tickets for Ka, a Cirque Du Soleil performance at MGM. It was the most amazing thing I've ever seen & the stage, costumes and set were Broadway quality; totally awesome! It was a wonderful surprise (even better than my Clinten encounter)!

I first heard of them when some co-workers went to Vegas on a business trip. These fountains are the reason I wanted to visit Vegas. We had such a great time and can't wait to go again.
