We woke up Christmas morning and had lots of fun and good times with Mason, Great Gram, Auntie and Grandma. The very last gift Anthony gave me was a bag with toiletries, a Vegas Magazine and two boarding passes. My response was "We're going to Vegas?" followed by "When are we going Vegas - this week?" I proceeded to pull out the two tickets and looked at the date and shockingly said "We're leaving for Vegas tonight???" I was off to pack my bags and we left that NIGHT!
I didn't know whether to cry hysterically or laugh and be excited about going away. With having no time to prepare mentally or even physically, I was left laughing and crying as we said goodbye and left Mason for a few days. He was in EXCELLENT hands with Auntie, Gram and Great Gram but that didn't make it any easier.
Anyone who knows me well is probably wondering how Anthony got me to leave Mason for a few days. Let's just say he didn't do it easily. I had gotten myself so worked up about leaving that our trip started like this-GROSS!!!!
Once at the terminal I was feeling much better but saying goodbye and missing out on a few days with the family made me sad and obviously SICK at first!! Poor Anthony-he was a wreck!
We checked in at our hotel, Treasure Island, grabbed a quick bite to eat and crashed once we got our room. The next day we started off our morning learning how to play Craps! We'll call it a learning experience since it didn't really go that well :)
~Good Morning From Fabulous Las Vegas!~
Had to make sure to get a shot with the Zoltar Machine from "Big".
Grabbed a bite to eat on Freemont Street. Hugo's Cellar had an old school feel with GREAT service. They greeted the ladies with a rose. :)
Stopped at Toby Keith's Bar and Grill. Had a few drinks and shots. Probably the most we drank the whole time!!
We did a lot of walking and monorail riding, got to take in a ton of the different hotels, and taste some amazing dishes as we tried a few restaurants. The Wynn was by far our favorite hotel; it was absolutely beautiful and since we got there on Christmas everything was decorated for the season. We snagged a few pictures but they don't do it justice. Our favorite dinner was at SWITCH in Encore - the decor changed every 20 minutes with swapping walls!
Mosaic Tile Art! The vibrant flowers were at the Wynn and butterflies at the Encore.
Real flower balls!!!
The ceiling was beautiful at the Wynn!
The real flower balls from a distance! Just GORGEOUS!
Drinks by the Lake at Wynn before heading to dinner at SWITCH!
We did some gambling and also got to see a few shows! Here is a picture with Anthony and Mr. Jerry Seinfeld who was HYSTERICAL!

We got a chance to see the Volcano Eruption at the Mirage which was also beautiful and kept us warm for the whole five minutes it lasted!!! |
Yummy Frozen Hot Chocolate at Serendipity 3!!
Had lunch at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant in the Paris hotel. Yummy food and a GREAT view of the strip!
A lit up Strip on our way home from Zumanity --the CRAZIEST & MOST SENSUAL Cirque show!
At the Venetian, we took some pics by the beautiful fountain and stopped by Bouchon Bakery for some Gluten Free Macaroons!
Finished the trip with the morning at the Oleksandra Spa (AMAZING) and one last stop at the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign!
Thank you to the most wonderful husband for such a FANTASTIC surprise! Although I thought it was VERY CRAZY at first, we ended up having such a great time! I cannot thank you enough making sure I had absolutely no WAY of turning down out little getaway! We all know that if asked for permission... I would have NEVER agreed!!!
I love you today, tomorrow and always!!
Christine
