Vegas Baby!!

Sorry in advance for the LONG post. This incredible trip had to be documented with lots of pictures!!
 
The second week in May I went with 3 of my good friends from college, Becky, Stephanie and Sheena, on a girls trip (no kids) to LAS VEGAS!!! We had such an amazing time.  After being a single mom and everything else this trip was sooo needed, and so worth it. We seriously had so much fun, and relaxed as much as possible. It was great.
 Just sitting outside my house waiting for my ride.  All packed and ready to go, just chillaxing in the sweet springy/summer sun. I'm never packed and ready to go on time, it was so nice to just chill for a minute, knowing I was all set for my trip... awwwww!
The lovely ladies!! Our adventure begins!


 Oh the joys of road trips!!  I love girl talk. Feelings, mommy moments, lots of sex talks and I mean  A LOT of sex talks, so funny!


 (yes, I did steal a few pictures from steph, I hope that's ok?)
 Have you heard of Little Acorn? Ya, neither had I. But Becky needed her fix, so we took a small detour to get some yummy grub. And we weren't going to argue with the pregnant lady. Ha ha, love ya Beck!
I will give a prize to anyone who can guess what we are doing in this picture.  Any takers? Ha ha ha!!


Awwww........... so amazing! Just relaxing by the pool EVERYDAY!! Sleeping in, reading, listening to my ipod (your love is my drug!), eating pineapple out by the pool, catching some much needed rays, no rules, no deadlines, no time frames, just calm peaceful un-interrupted relaxing. (and an old lady's butt, can you find it? ha ha)







This was bright colored bathing suit day, and I really need a tan, sheesh!

 


That night we went to Chili's for dinner. I know, exotic, right!? But it was really good. I split food with Steph.  We got our own cups of chicken enchilada soup and then shared the southwestern egg rolls the the Blondie Brownie with ice cream. YUM!!


 Then we hit up a new hotel/casino M Resort at the south part of the strip. It was such a nice casino. Pretty new so it didn't smell of smoke that bad. I found out my friends liked to gamble, a little... I got lost for a while that night playing Jacks or Better a video poker game. I won $10, then cashed out. When I caught up with my friends they said they were going to come and find me, but they were too into their game of Roulette.  Ha ha ha. 4's going to hit I just know it!!! Ha ha ha. It never did.  We met a fun couple. She was hilarious, and he was nice, older and a little creepy. But we had fun playing for about 4 hours. He cashed me in for $100 and I played for a while, was up and down and when I got back to $100 I cashed out. So I was up $110. Ha ha not too bad. I think my friends were out some. But we all had a ton of fun.
 
Day 2 - More pool time!  Black Suit Day!!

 


We got tubes and went in the lazy river. I only got in the tube for the picture, ha ha. I just liked laying out on in the chairs.  I did take a few laps around just swimming though. Nice and refreshing.




So when I went on my cruise 2 years ago, I can't believe it's been that long, but I fell in love with the drink Miami Vice. Strawberry Daiquiri and Pina Colada. So yummy. If they have them, I get them most places I go now.  What's better than an ice cold beverage while your laying out in the hot hot sun? Nothing.



Gotta love shots like these in the elevators. Becky got us tickets to see Phantom so we got all dolled up for a night on the town.



Strike a pose!





  At the show, right before we got in trouble for taking pictures... ha ha ha oops!




What a fun show! I've never seen it live. AMAZING!!  A lady we met at the show showed us that on our tickets there was free admission to the Tao Night Club. So what are 4 dressed up hotties going to do on a Saturday night? Duh!! Dance Club!!  I love love love dancing. I could dance all night.  We ran into a little hiccup, however, Becky only had her temporary ID so she couldn't go in.  We felt way bad she couldn't come, but we decided to go check it out anyway, since we were there, it was free etc etc. It was awesome!  We also gathered up all the tickets we could find on the floor of the theatre and sold them for $5 off the admission price. ha ha ha. And then gambled it all away, ha ha.




We had a ton of fun dancing and even got a private table area to get our freak on. But we couldn't stay long because we left Becky gambling.  So we needed to get back.


This is my, 'what?' face.  Ya, I'll work on that. ha ha ha kidding, but we had so much fun!!!  I did get a weird stomach ache though from something I ate that night, but it went away pretty quick so I was glad.

We thought this sign was pretty funny. We left Sunday, no sinning for us. ha ha ha. Good bye Vegas! We will miss you!!
Thanks Becky for planning this awesome trip and thank you beautiful ladies for so much fun!!!
