Exhausted

My best friend Katie and I headed to Las Vegas for a long weekend. Just a time to get away and have some R&R! It was a blazing 113 everyday!!!! Now that isn't bad considering it is dry desert heat right.....wrong. It was humid and hot which with that combination was UGLY.

We arrived on Wed morning bright and early and got checked in to Caeser's hotel. We didn't do too much but walk around, play some slots and lay by the pool. We were a bit tired.

Bellagio on the left and Caeser's in the background.



The new Hard Rock Cafe is coming to the strip. The hotel is off the strip for the Hard Rock but I guess they figure that they can make more money with having another restaurant on the strip. I think the guitar on the outside looks pretty cool!





On Thursday we spent the day at the pool and then headed over to the New York New York. We went to the dualing piano bar and sat down for a few hours and a few Miller Lites and Lienenkugels! After a few hours of singing and drinking we were a bit on the tipsy side. What better way to get rid of that than to go eat at P.F. Changs!




On Friday we hung out at the pool all day and then headed up to the room to get ready to go see LOVE (a Cirque du Soleil show). It is based on The Beatles and was FANTASTIC! It is a must see and I would go again!!!! The choreography was wonderful and a wonderful show.













After the show we went to Joe's for a wonderful dinner and a fantastic Banana Cream Pie with candied walnuts and fosters sauce (my mouth is watering thinking about it)!

Saturday was another day at the pool and a lot of drinks. It was blazing hot that you couldn't even sit outside the pool for more than 5 minutes. We had quite a few drinks there that by the time we left I think we had had enough drinks for the whole night too. We went back down to the NY NY for the dualing pianos and some Mexican food.
A few night shots of the strip.


Sunday was up early for our flight back.
Katie won some, I lost some but all in all it was a great trip. Got a bit of color (not so pasty white as my brother used to call me while living in England) and now I need to catch up on some sleep!
