Viva Las Vegas!, Part 1

Matt sent me to Las Vegas with Katy.  Without him.  How dumb is he?  Anyways, we had a blast!  I would recommend to anyone to take a trip out West and enjoy with Las Vegas has to offer.  Which is a lot.  Ours was a 3-day trip and the main reason for the mini-vaca was to see Celine Dion.  Yes.  We can pause for a moment in honor of her.  She was the first CD I ever owned and I think I've honed my Celine Dion station enough of Pandora throughout the years that I only get good songs.  Obsessed.  Here is a recap of the highlights!

Our hotel.  It was awesome!  We even had white robes in our hotel room.  I stripped down and put one on anytime we were in the room for more than 20 minutes.  The tag on them said you could take them home with you - for a $125 fee.  Before we left Matt reminded me what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but the bills do come home.  The robe stayed.

Us in front of the New York New York hotel and rollercoaster.  They had all the skyscrapers and Statue of Liberty.

We had lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe and had a really good salad.  After that we made our way to the M&M store and got our picture taken with the crew.

You can actually eat dinner up there on the top of the Eiffel Tower.  If I ever get Matt to take me again - we're dining there.  He'll never have to take me to the real thing.

Katy didn't pose the way I wanted her to.  If she had, it would've been a lot more inappropriate, but a lot funnier.

This was inside The Venetian. The ceiling is painted like a sky and the store fronts are supposed to look like a little Italian village.  You can do gondola rides inside or outside.  We chose outside because the line for inside was a lot longer (no line for outside) and it was really nice outside.  

Us on our very romantic gondola ride.  They actually sing to you in opera-style Italian.  Who knows what they're saying... it's still amazing.

The Bellagio minus the fountains.  I've got pictures for nighttime, too, and the fountains are very impressive.

WELCOME TO THE MAIN EVENT!  Right before the concert.  Can you tell we're excited?  Can you tell we might be peeing our pants a little bit?  Just look at her!  Not Katy, Celine!  The concert was awesome and she sounds just like her CDs.  Which means her voice is amazing.
