Viva Las Vegas!

Our annual Vegas trip was a total success filled with interesting trials that changed the way we vacation.

We arrived in Vegas on a very rainy Sunday afternoon to learn that the show we had scheduled to see was cancelled.   We had to find a new show to watch.  Bummer.

We chose, "Le Reve The Dream"  It was pretty cool and every seat in the house was a good seat.  Every single one of my siblings showed up for a delicious diner at one of Wolfgang Puck's restaurants in the Bellagio.  

Dinner was great, company was fun, and the show was a hit.  So no real loss.  

We had to move our scheduled cabana day to Wednesday because the weather was not cooperating.  It was rainy and cold all day Monday.  We actually spent the day just hanging out.  We did nothing and everything.  We had no plans and that was awesome. The boys gambled while the girls went shopping.  The girls got a little lost while walking to dinner and ended up walking a mile and half in a circle on the wrong side of the strip.  It was funny and frustrating all at the same time.

Tuesday we had scheduled a spa day at the Aria only to find out Monday night that the Aria decided to re-tile their spa! We had to find a new place to have a spa day.  This ended up working out in our favor.  We called the Encore Resort and spent a lovely day at their spa.  The massages were awesome but more importantly the spa was AMAZING!  It was empty and so relaxing.  We just went from steam room to dry sauna to cold plunge to hot tub to freezing cold plunge to a warm chair with cucumbers for our eyes.  Honestly, it was everything I needed and wanted in a spa day.  

Tuesday night was the BEST!  

We planned a wig and karaoke night.  It was awesome.  I seriously had so much fun singing with my family.  The best part, if we hated a song we just hit cancel and moved on to another song.  It was great.

Wednesday, we had our cabana day.  This was a nice day out by the pool at Aria.  It wasn't as great as other cabana days we have had in the past but it wasn't bad.  I took a nice nap by the pool and just relaxed.  We all sort of took that day to rest.  We ate a nice lunch at the Aria then the girls went shopping while the guys gambled again.  We met up for our favorite dinner, secret pizza!!

Thursday, Stephen and I had a late afternoon flight so we just wondered around Vegas while everyone headed home.  It was a wonderfully relaxing week in Vegas. I always wish we would spend more time in Vegas but as Thursday rolls around it feels like we had done everything we came to do.  

Until next year.
