Vegas Picture
I don't have my connection for my camera to my computer. I hope to have more pictures up by the end of the week. Here is me outside the Lucky Brand Store in the Eiffel Tower.

Vegas
Vegas was aMaZiNg!
Day 1:
Our first day we decided to get the timeshare viewing over with. After three hours of hassling we finally got our free show tickets. Afterwards, we did some gambling in our hotel (the Excalibur) then ventured over to Hooters. On our way back to our hotel we decided to do some walking through the Luxor. We got lost! Overall it was a good day. Very tiring and so much to take in. We were in bed by midnight.
Day 2:
After waking up early, Chris & I decided we would walk to some stores down the strip. Our first stop was at the M&M Store. What a neat place! Four levels packed full of everything you could think of. The one thing I want to mention that was pretty neat was the third level that had a walk through of how m&m's were made. This was no boring factory type thing. They treated us as though we were the m&m going through the making process. VERY NEAT! Anyhow, Chris is not a chocolate fan & I ended up settling for a regular sized bag of peanut butter m&m's. The bulk m&ms were just too expensive. I couldn't believe all the people that were paying $16.95 per pound for m&m's! After the M&M store we continued down the strip going in and out of various places. Sometime in the afternoon we finally made it to the one place I really wanted to see. The Eiffel Tower! Its a bigger mall than the one here. I love how the ceiling is painted/lighted like a sky and how the flooring is old brick. We did go into alot of stores however never bought anything. After the Eiffel Tower it was time to get back to our motel for the Tournament of Kings dinner show. Our seats were amazing! Front row right in the middle! I definitely recommend seeing this one. A lot of audience interaction and a good dinner. Good thing we didn't eat all day because they gave us a small whole chicken. It was a three course meal that was worth the price had we paid for our tickets. After much excitement and being so full we decided to gamble a little at our motel before heading off to bed. What an eventful day 2!
Day 3:
By day 3 we struggled to wake up early but we managed. Our main mission today was to see the free shows we had heard so much about. Basically we walked all day making stops into hotels and gambling a little at the casinos. That evening we went to Lance Burton's magic show. I am not much of a magic fan, however, it was Chris' choice. I must say the show was actually good! It kills me to not know how they do things though! After the magic show we headed down to the free pirate show. Due to high winds the pirate show was cancelled! I was so ticked not to mention my feet hurt so bad! It was all the way at the end of the strip opposite of our hotel! I did get to see an old classmate (Mysti Vogt) who was there all dressed up doing a photo shoot for a commercial. She is Miss Montana 09 and had alot of events going on in Vegas before the pageant -which was actually on the 19th of April. On our way back to the motel we got to see the free volcano show and the free water show at the Bellagio. They were so beautiful at night! I wish I would have taken more pictures! Everything was so overwhelming that the last thing I thought about was my camera. Anyhow, about a block from our hotel we decided to get a bus pass and go to old downtown LV. If only we discovered that the few days before. EVERYTHING really is cheaper! And BETTER! The freemont experience show was so cool. I will post the pics I took. It was a chopper show with music. AMAZING! We made it back to the hotel around 3 am.
Day 4:
This was our last actual day :(. First thing we did was sit by the pool and drink margaritas. The best relaxation ever! I loved how they had an adult pool away from the three other family pools. I couldn't help but laugh at the looks we got while on our way to the pool. People seriously thought it was cold out. Us Montanans love the 70/80 degree weather! After relaxing at the pool we got ready and rode the bus to old downtown LV. We did some gambling and drank our $2 coronas. Did I mention everything was better here? We ate at the Golden Gate (1st hotel in downtown LV). Our food was cheap and the best we ate the whole time we were there. My mouth is watering just thinking about it. Anyway, we did some shopping. After many coronas we decided to head to bed for our early flight out in the morning.
Day 5:
Waking up before 5 a.m. is awful! Especially when you are hung over. Why did we chose the last day of all days to drink? I think others were worse off than we were. I heard this snoring out in the hall. Some drunk guy passed out in front of his hotel door. Another drunk guy had just came up from gambling and was banging on every door because he had no clue where his room was. Then another drunk guy decided he needed to mess with the passed out guy who he did not know. Who knew so much excitement happens on the 9th floor at 4 a.m.??
So that sums it up. Our wonderful Vegas trip. So fun! I cannot wait to go again!
Oh and I've had some people ask if we won any money. Lets just say Chris was losing money as fast as I was winning it :)

Finally Friday-(the upcoming week of Vacation/Vegas)
I have never been so thankful for Friday!!! Right now my brain is going a hundred miles per hour. All I can think about is our trip to Vegas this Sunday. I have soo much to do before then (mainly at work).
As some of you may know, the company I work for moved locations three weeks ago. I finally got my OWN office. Yipee right? Well, in the middle of moving we fired the receptionist. In the last three weeks I have been trying to figure out what the past receptionist had going on on top of training new receptionists. Our first trainee didn't quite work out. We are now on our second and I am praying she is the one. Dealing with the front desk work from the move and trying to juggle my own job is quite the task. Right in the middle of all this, I found the time to study and pass my licensing test!!! What a relief!
Okay, enough about work stuff. Onto what i'm sure most of you are wondering.....Why are Chris & I going to Vegas? I didn't realize taking a vacation together would cause such talk. Maybe its the location? Or could it be because people run off to Vegas to get married?? To clear things up, we are NOT getting married in Vegas. There has been no discussion about marriage and we are not even engaged. Chris booked this trip a month ago as my birthday present (What a nice boyfriend right?). It was perfect timing. I have never been to Vegas and the flights were so cheap how could we resist? If you couldn't already tell, I am SUPER SUPER EXCITED!!!
So there it is, an answer to some of your questions. Stay tuned for my next blog full of pictures!
