Vegas!

So I have been trying to put this post together for several days now. Had the pictures all downloaded and blogger wouldn't post them to the blog...so frustrating. Well anyway, here are what I have but I may have more when everyone else posts their pictures but this is what I got for now! LOL

So I got there on a Thursday night, got to the hotel (The Tropicana) and got ready for dinner. Now let me tell you the Trop may look okay from the inside but the rooms were crappy. They weren't any better than a Holiday Inn. Met up with some friends and we went and had dinner at the Rainforest Cafe in the MGM hotel. If you have never been to a Rainforest Cafe, you need to, it's really cool. After dinner, we went out on the strip for a while and then back to one of the guys suites for a party. It gotta pretty interesting there since there was a hot tub and alcohol was flowing. So much so that one guy actually got naked in the hot tub, lathered up, and proceeded to prance around the suite in his birthday suit. Unfortunately I didn't take my camera for fear of breaking it, so unless someone posts pictures of the evening, I don't have any right now.

This is the Tropicana where I stayed

On Friday morning, my friend Jess and I got up early and went to see the Hoover Dam. That was really cool.

Walked all the way across from Nevada into Arizona...lol!

Lake Mead...me and Jess...the white on the rocks shows how far down the water is...they have been under a "drought" for the past 6 years

Friday night, I got to get dressed up and go see the live show Phantom of the Opera! Way cool! And then more walking on the strip. We also went and saw Fremont Street which is the old strip.

Inside the hotel...looks so real!

Saturday we went shopping and walked up and down the strip...it's a long way! My feet ached!

Saturday night was our formal dinner at $55 a plate and we celebrated two of our friends birthdays. One of them was so wasted he doesn't even remember dinner or throwing his part of the cake across the table.

My cool dress I bought for the dinner!

With the gang on the strip on the last night!

Sunday morning got up packed my things and went to one last lunch at Toby Keith's bar and grill restaurant. Good food! and then it was back to the hotel to pick up luggage and head to the airport...of course I proceeded to do a bit of drinking in the hotel and was a little tipsy when I boarded my plane to head back to the freezing temperatures of KY...brrrr!

Anyway, there's your pics, at least the ones I had....hopefully more to come when my friends get theirs up!
