Las Vegas May 2013 by Danielle Ortiz-Salazar

kevin and I were so excited to 'get away' and had been anticipating this vacation ever since i booked the room way back in december!!
 
We DID NOT win thousands of dollars while in Sin City ...in fact, we left a small deposit, but just the same...we kind of expected to.
 
we "hurried up and waited" at the airports....nonetheless, we  were so thankful for quick and easy security checkpoints both leaving and coming home.  thank you bossman for the southwest tickets!  
 
as for the vegas weather... surprisingly enough, it was quite windy and chilly at night.  during the day, it wasnt bad...and after walking up and down the strip it got warm, but not unbearable. 
 
We booked our shows in advance.  Here was the line-up:
 
Monday  -- Le Reve at the Wynn  (SO beautiful!)
Tuesday --  Jersey Boys now at Paris  (3rd time seeing this show, but it's that good, lol)
Wednesday -- Rock of Ages at The Venetian  (hilarious, full of your fave 80s rock songs)
Thursday -- Human Nature at The Venetian  (4 good looking aussies singing motown, lots of audience interaction)
 
all the shows were fantastic, and i was glad i preplanned (and prepaid) all the tickets so that we had something spectacular to dress up for and enjoy each night.
 
the pool was so/so at planet hollywood.  it was shaded in the mornings, and the lay out section was too far from the poolside.  we only laid out a couple days because of the chill factor, and it was rather noisy with some construction going on nearby.
 
the rooms were cozy and newer.  id love to stay there again as it  was  located  at  the center of the strip.   
 
we met up with my oldest best friend and her hubby one night, as they live in las vegas.  took them to dinner at gordon ramsey's burgr and caught up with one another.
 
every night was friday night, and there's still so much more i have to cross off my checklist.   
 
i hope this link works...?  here are some photos...wish i was better at remembering to take photos.  it seems i just 'live' in the moment rather than capture it!  haha   (for your sight protection, all nakedness has been omitted from this album)
