Las Vegas!!

This past weekend from Wednesday the 18th to Sunday the 22nd I went to Las Vegas with some girlfriends, and we had a blast!!

Here we are at the famous Las Vegas sign.

Emalia, Me, Aubrey, Jana, and Kirstin

First thing we did when we got down there was go dancing at some clubs. It was fun to just go with girls and have a fun time dancing and laughing.
This was looking down at the dance floor of the LAX club in the Luxor Hotel. We could barely move while we were down there. It was crazy!

The next couple days we stayed and laid out at the pool. The condo we were at had this cool lazy river and we made this chain with our tubes. Everyone at the pool loved it even random people were taking pictures of us. It was kinda silly cause we didn't think we were doing anything special. Someone even offered to take this picture for us. haha



while shopping in one of the many malls Las Vegas has to offer I found this Buddha and I had to document me rubbing it's belly!




The last night of dancing we went to Tryst at the Wynn hotel. It had a dance floor that lead into a 90 ft waterfall that fell into a Lagoon . It was awesome!

After dancing for a few hours and burning a lot of calories :-) , We were ready to go to bed. I think every night we got to bed between 2am and 4am. We would then wake up to Aubrey making breakfast around 10:30 am. It was so great!


On Saturday, the night before we left, we had the amazing opportunity to see Phantom of the Opera at the Venetian Hotel. It was so amazing!!!! The stage alone cost 35 million dollars to construct. It was a condensed 95 min version of the musical but it was spectacular. I have seen Phantom 4 times now and this was by far the best. They had a real Chandelier that seperated into 4 pieces and was lifted to the top of the theater at the beginning of the musical. Later it was dropped right before hitting the audience, the props were huge!, there was fireworks and balls of fire shot on stage, at one point Raoul jumps 20 feet down into a trap down on the stage. It was insane! It was so beautiful that I was crying practically during the whole thing! I recommend everyone who has ever liked the Phantom of the Opera musical on stage or the movie to come see it performed like never before in Vegas!


Here is what the theater looked like, and yes, that is the chandelier that falls dozens of feet! It was so cool! I had so much fun on this trip! I think I actually lost weight from all of the calories I burned laughing, dancing, and just having a blast! This was a much needed girls trip and I hope we get to do it again very soon!!

P.S. on the way home I did have the opportunity to go buy Twilight at Target and watched it on Aubrey's DVD player in her car! I recommend the Target version of Twilight cause it has the 3 disc special edition.
