Las Vegas

Spring Break 30 something style!!!!!! We stayed at the Vdara, the non-gaming sister hotel to the Aria. It was originally built to be condos, so if you're looking for a place w a full kitchen, washer & dryer, studio style to stay, this is the winner. It's on the end of the strip connected to the Bellagio. Speaking of the Bellagio, how stunning are the ceilings? Not only are the ceilings beautiful but the Napoleons at the breakfast buffet. OMG!!!!  Since Vegas is Damon's favorite he usually has a checklist including Metro Pizza (vote LV's best pizza 8 years in a row) & a trip to Red Rock Canyon for drinks at the Yard House. We ALWAYS hit Hash House A Go Go for our FAVORITE gourmet breakfast (as seen on Man vs. Food). The brown sugar banana pancake is as big as your head & totally to die for!!!

We've never gone into Madame Tussaud's but they've always got to stars out front you can take pics w for free. This time it was Johnny Depp & Gwen Stefani. While Damon & Bryan had their list Tony & I had ours, as we always do...We were most excited to spend the day at the pool. We rented a cabana at the Aria & it did not disappoint. With the help of several sugar free red bulls & vodka it was an awesome day. YIKES.Second on my list was seeing The Beatles Love, but I screwed that all up. 

Disclaimer: Red Bulls & Vodka.  Damon can't be mad because seeing Love is on my bucket list, which means we have to go to Vegas again sometime:) Lastly on the list was dinner at Sage at Aria. I had lamb & truffle gnocchi. It was DELICIOUS!!!!!!! Then they charged my card my card the entire $1500 bill (there were 17 of us) because the server refused to split our checks. That was not so delicious. The trip  was pretty short since Wesley is still so little. Both kids did great & were totally spoiled by Tachee, Pop Pop & Nana.  

Happiest Birthday to my sister in law Moe & our friend Missie. Check out the Hash House Pancakes from our last trip to Vegas here. During our last trip we rented a car & drove to Zion National Park. Pics here.http://lizbonj.blogspot.com/2009/09/vegas-baby.html
