Vegas, Baby, Vegas!!!

I spent the 8th through the 11th of June in Vegas with my sister and best friend. It was really fun to have some quality girl time without the presence of kids or husbands (although they were missed...). One of the first things we did was get a pedicure. Here are my cute toes afterwords!

One of the places we hung out a lot was at the Forum Shops in Cesar's Palace. My best friend, Melinda, works in a store there and we spent a lot of time wandering the many shops. They have some pretty amazing statues. I bought Lee and little version of the Venus De Milo. Here is there version of the statue David, and another statue that spanned several floors that I thought was cool.

We checked out the gondola rides at the Venetian, but they were pretty pricey for such a short ride so we decided to pass, but it looked cool.

A surprising place that was tons of fun was Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. They had lots of famous actors and actresses and you could use their props and join in the pictures. I took a ton of pictures there but here are some fun ones...

Melinda and I couldn't decide on what to have at the Rain Forest Cafe inside the MGM Grand as our final meal together in Vegas so we decided to go out with a bang! This is brownies and ice cream and the waiter came out singing at the top of his lungs. This is all we had for dinner that day.

I've been to the Bellagio before but it is one of my favorite casinos with the water show and flower gardens.

The absolute best part of the trip was the Cirque Du Soleil: Mystere show that we went to. We weren't allowed to take pictures inside but it was amazing. It had humorous audience participation, some interesting parts that someone had to have been either dreaming or stoned to create, and some amazing circus-type performances. I highly recommend that show to anyone going to Vegas in the future!
