Weekend in Las Vegas

Kathy, Lisa & I tagged along with Jeff, Glen & Jesse to Las Vegas this past weekend. The guys had some conference meetings so us girls went to play.


We stayed at the Bellagio hotel. I love how they always change their gardens every few months. Of course being fall, it was themed that this time.


This tree would look around and raise his eyebrow at you. It was kind of neat.




Jeff had a nice win playing in the casino...so since I won't gamble (i'm just toooo tight to even lose a quarter) I figured I may as well enjoy his win. Kathy, Lisa & I went shopping. I figured since Jeff is the one who won it, he deserved something. So I bought him these cuff links to go with 2 different ties he bought last month. Then I headed over to Brighton Collectibles and got myself a cute necklace.


And seeing as how I am a handbag freak, I of course couldn't pass up one of my favorite brands and just had to get this bag. I LOVE the color! And after all my shopping was done, I still had enough leftover to pay the babysitter for the weekend and still brought about $500 home! Thanks Jeff!


We went to see Cirque Du Soleil "O". It was AMaZinG!!! But what Cirque Du Soleil show isn't amazing? I have seen Mystere and Ka and they are both incredible. "O" was amazing because most of it was in water. Amazing diving and acrobats! Here we are after the show with some of our friends Tony and Sarah.

Glen, Kathy & I went to Madame Tussauds. I have been there before but it is always fun to see again. Here Kathy & I are with Jamie Fox

The "Rock"

Glen with Cameron Diaz

Doesn't Jessica Simpson look so real?

So does Princess Diana

Whenever I am in a hotel with a long hall, I always think of that creppy Stephen King movie, The Shining. I had to take a picture to show you. Can't you just see 2 ghostly girls holding hands and saying, "Come play with us Danny. Come play with us!"
