We tore it up...Vegas style

We’re officially back from Vegas. We made it through…I was seriously concerned Ash & I needed a vacation so badly that we might not come back alive. It was really really fun to spend so much time with my brother & sister too…we hadn’t all gone on vacation together for 7 years!!! And late October seemed to be a great time to visit…it was still warm enough to sit by the pool and not that busy.

Some highlights from our trip:

--The rides on the top of the Stratosphere are AWESOME. Very scary and not for the even slightly faint at heart…the best part was my brother’s friend Brandon FREAKING OUT when we were riding everything. But he was a good sport. It’s really entertaining to see a guy with biceps 4 times as big as mine scream like a girl and pray to god at the same time.

--Celebrity sightings: My sister met Holly Madison from The Girls Next Door at the Palms. (I missed the encounter for reasons I can’t admit to on this blog). She also saw Criss Angel with Holly Madison and swears they are definitely dating. Jess & I also saw George Maloof, the owner of the Palms and he even said ‘Hi’ to us. Here’s a sweet pic of my sister retelling the story of seeing Criss Angel…who she said was the freakiest person she’d ever seen.













Her impression is pretty dead on, don't you think? :) Oh, and she hadn't been drinking at all when we took this picture.

--My brother-in-law Justin saying inappropriate things to every single taxi driver we encountered. My favorite (taken completely out of context, but really funny…) “I’ve got a super snake!”

--I’m going to play trip review now…
Best club we went to : Moon at the Palms
Best meal we had (and also the most expensive): Fix at the Bellagio
Casino I wasn’t so impressed with: New York New York
Most Ghetto Casino we went through: The Sahara…only to get to the monorail. But they did have Fat Tire, so that was a plus.
Casino with the best shops: The Wynn. I actually touched a Manolo Blahnik.

I'll try to post more pics soon. Oh, I wish I had more time to blog. :)
