Girls Weekend

A couple of weeks ago my friend Melissa asked if I wanted to go to Vegas for a weekend with her & our friend Becky, my response was yeah let me clear it with Mark. Once we had the house schedule covered it was official I was going on a girl weekend getaway. We left Thursday afternoon, drove to mesquite & spent the night. Friday we finished our drive to Vegas! We arrived in the heat of the day and checked into our hotel Golden Nugget. We got suckered into a promotional tour that afternoon, which kind of sucked but not completely because out of it we got tickets to the Bodies exhibit at the Luxor and tickets to the Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur for $36 a piece! It was awesome! Friday night we had dinner at the Rio world buffet. After that Melissa took us to the casino floor so we could see the sky parade, it was pretty cool. During the planning of our trip Melissa kept saying she wanted to go to a nightclub while we were there, okay so those of you who know me know I have issues with people I don't touching me so I wasn't so upon this idea or paying $20 buck to be shoved around by strangers. We ended up getting free tickets to club Vodoo free from some chic. So we decided what the hey, not only was it a club (which made Melissa happy) it was on the 50 & 51 floor of Rio casino (on the roof!)

Saturday we decided to spend sometime in the awesome pool! It has a giant aquarium in the middle & the waterslide goes right through it. Once the heat really started to hit, at like 1130, we headed inside to get ready for the day. We spent time sight seeing on Freemont street, did some outlet shopping than headed to the strip to see the Bodies Exhibit & Tournament of Kings. The Bodies exhibit was pretty cool, kind of felt like I was in a giant quiz for work but other than that I enjoyed it. We had a little time before the show so we headed to M&M world and the Cola~Cola building. M & M world is great, so much chocolate and who doesn't love coke!! The tournament of kings was AMAZING!!! Didn't really get great pictures but I tried. After the show Melissa & I decided we were cool enough to wear crowns just like all the other girls we had been seeing so we bought some with a reinissance flare! We spent time seeing the strip at night, always an experience for more reason than one.


Sunday we slept in, checked out of our hotel & headed to see the Bellagio fountain show. It was pretty great, even if it was a flash back to junior high with the song My Heart Will Go On. We decided we should probably see the Welcome to Vegas sign, so we headed there on our way out of town. Followed by what was suppose to be a quick trip to In-N-Out burger, didn't end up so quick 25 minutes after pulling into line for the drive-through we hit the road north. When we finally arrived home at 11 I was so glad to see Mark. I had fun with my girlfriends, but corny or not I missed Mark!
