This past weekend my husband took me to Las Vegas to celebrate my birthday.
We had a lovely time. We left Friday around 4:00pm. I got out of work at noon, but after picking Erik up from school and dropping 1 car off at home, then driving to my sisters house to drop off the kids, time flew.
We were well on our way to Vegas. It was raining, it was Friday, so the time it took us to get out of L.A. was ridiculous. We got to Vegas around 10:00pm.
We stayed at the Stratosphere Hotel. We had stayed there a long time ago when a friend of the family got married in Vegas. I have to say I liked it better this time. Although it's at the end of the strip, it's a nice cozy hotel. We checked in and then we went downstairs to play a bit on the slot machines. Of course lost money.
Next morning, got up and we had breakfast there at the buffet downstairs. We didn't really care for it, but it filled up our tummies.
We then headed to the Prim outlets right across the street from Whiskey Pete's.
I bought shoes with a gift card that my parents gave me for my b-day. I love shoes and Hector loves jackets. We both can't get enough of each. So of course we walked into Wilson's. He really liked a jacket which the entire store had a sale for 70% off. I told him to get it and that would be his valentines gift. After walking around for a while, we bought a few things here and there. We headed back to the hotel.
He gave me the choice of seeing a show or a night club. We went to the hotel lobby to see the choices of shows. I wasn't all that crazy about them, so decided on a night club.
He did his research and found TAO at the Venetian hotel. It's suppose to be one of the best night clubs in Vegas. So we bought tickets online so we wouldn't have to wait in line. Then we headed to Paris hotel for dinner. That was a very good dinner. Especially their crepes.. mmm, mmm, mmm!!
After dinner, went back to the hotel to shower and get ready to boogie our booties.
Got to the nightclub and we had a few drinks and we danced. We were there for a few hours, then we went back to the hotel. I threw on some pants because we were going to go up to the tower to take pictures, so I wanted to be nice and warm.
I had never been up the tower. It was an amazing Vegas view.
Then they were getting ready to close the tower, so we went back downstairs and played the remaining balance I had on a rewards card. Of course lost that too.
Next morning, we got up and checked out from the room itself.
We then headed to the Rio hotel. That was really good too. If it's one thing I love about Vegas, it's the variety of food!
We had brunch, then headed to the gas station to fill up and started on our way back to L.A.
This time Vegas was a bit more empty. It wasn't as crowded as it usually is. But it was perfect. Perfect food, perfect hotel, and most perfect husband.
We picked up the kids whom we both missed so much.
We were happy to see them. They were well taken care of. So that being said, we will be taking them to Nina and Nino's house MORE OFTEN!!! LOL..
THANK YOU EMMA & HENRY FOR WATCHING THE KIDS. NEXT TIME IT'S YOUR TURN AND WE WILL WATCH YOUR KIDS.
