What happens in Vegas, gets stuck in Vegas

How true this is.

It all began one early Friday morning.

At 4am.

{God help me}

We woke up to go to the airport.

But not before Chris got drenched with sprinklers taking the trash out.

We were headed to sunny, 90 degree weather, pool time,

Las Vegas!

He got over the sprinkler thing.



It was warm, sunny, and enormous.

If you have never been to Vegas, imagine a very large building, and then times that by 2.7 million, and you will have the size of approximately one wing of one hotel.

Since this trip was for Chris' 30th birthday, he decided he wanted to stay at 3 different hotels for our 3 nights to be able to get a good "feel" for the different areas of the strip.

{I needed more grace for that many hotels, I received the grace I needed, and went along with it}

Hotel #1:

Hotel #2:

Hotel #3:

Hotel #4:

Hotel #5:

Wait.

1. 2. 3. 4? 5?

We were only staying 3 nights.

Whathe?

Like I said before,

Yeah, we got stuck. Didn't get on a plane. Didn't pass go.

We Did collect $100 from some random guy that won $1000 on a slot machine next to us!

But all in all,

Vegas was great!

We laid by the pools:

(yes, plural)

At our many different hotels.

We walked a lot and visited other resorts:

Chris needed his afternoon nap

Not really...he was just looking at this:

We walked some more:

Charity hung out with Elvis

We hung out in the "real" Ceasar's Palace

Chris saw Dick Butkis

We walked even more

Chris took one in the face by Rocky

And we kept on walking

Charity with the MGM Cougar...I mean, Lion

Yeah, we did a lot of walking.

In case you're unaware, Vegas is in a desert, and with all that walking, we got hot.

 In his hotness, Chris decided to take a dip and cool off.

AKA:

Getting in the fountain at the Bellagio!

Yeah, you're not supposed to do that. But he did.

Then we kept walking.
Nice and cool.

 We're cute =)

Chris bought a new car

Chris wishes he bought a new car.

So we walked more and saw more!

We saw a circus show and played circus games!
Chris won a horse and Charity won a peep.

Oh geeze.
Anyways...

As if we didn't have anything else to do, we also went to a
Cirque du Soleil Show called "O"

It was probably the most amazing thing we have ever seen.
Can you say, magic stage that is water and in 2 seconds is dry land?

You should see it.
For real.
Watch the video below.
I'm not joking.
Push Play.

 These are flying horses in the illegal picture we took.
"Sir, put your phone away. Now."
{oops}

After a lot of walking, glorious pool time, and a couple extra (unplanned) days of vacation, we finally made it home!

Jackson was happy to see us.

Goodbye Vegas!
