What Happens in Vegas.

This is a way overdue post BUT... Here it is.

I finally made it out to Las Vegas!

I have been wanting to go for forever...And this trip was perfect.

My dad and his girlfriend had planned to be out in Vegas from the 5th-12th, and I told him I'd try my hardest to be there.

None of my girlfriends could go.  So Matt went with me :)  

We surprisingly had a really fun road trip there and back.  Did I mention we finish each other's sentences all the time and then hysterically laugh about it afterwards?  It makes my day.

 Matt and I visited from the 7th to the 9th.  We stayed at the Luxor Hotel, and we had overall a good experience.  On Monday, we went out to a fun Irish pub/restaurant called Nine Fine Irishmen in the New York, New York Hotel.  Their chicken pot pie...To die for.  Ahhhh I still have cravings and dreams about it.

On the 8th, we wandered the strip.  I was expecting it to be straight sidewalk, kind of NYC-esque and was pleasantly surprised at how it was set up.  It was awesome, minus the crazy people trying to hand out crazy fliers.  That night, we went to Cirque du Soleil's "Le Reve"- All performed in a million gallon water stage.

I can't even explain how beautiful and breathtaking it was.  It was an experience I really will never forget.  (Side note - I looked up behind the scenes stuff - there are scuba diver stage managers guiding the performers and giving them oxygen while they're underwater - How cool!).

I lost about $40 on slot machines.  I watched Matt win a couple hundred/lose a couple hundred in roulette, but I get anxiety just looking at those dealers and serious gamblers so I didn't participate.

On Wednesday, we wrapped the trip up but had a way fun time with my dad exploring.  The highlight was definitely riding the rides at the top of The Stratosphere.  Absolutely hilarious.

My dad looks like he's having a heart attack.  I love this picture so much.
