Viva Las Vegas!

Last week, Heath and I took an early anniversary trip (almost three years!) to Las Vegas. Heath had never been before, and I had been once for a tradeshow when I worked for Nokia, so we were so excited to go and experience some of the Las Vegas fun. The weather was absolutely perfect- a very dry 85 degrees during the days, so we got a lot of pool time. One of our favorite things was the "Water Ballet" at the Bellagio. If you have ever seen Ocean's Eleven, then you know what I am talking about. We loved the show we went to see, KA. It is a Cirque du Soleil show at the MGM Grand. I have honestly never seen anything so amazing. Las Vegas is such a cool city. We had a great time (although Heath never did get to hang out with Paris Hilton like he had hoped. Apparently she was not in town. Sorry honey, maybe next time!). But of course, by the end of the week, we were ready to get home to our little guy! Thanks to all the grandparents who helped keep up with him while we were gone. Here are some of my favorite pictures from the trip:



Water Ballet
Our Hotel- great choice with a great pool!
Hot stuff;)
Paris
Dolphin at the Siegfried and Roy Habitat- you could walk right up to the edge of the pool...


New York, New York
Fountains at Caesar's Palace
Looks like the tiger got Heath, too!
The Wynn- one of the most beautiful hotels I have ever seen!



Pool at the Mirage
Beatles' Revolution Lounge
Headed out to dinner
The ENORMOUS lion at MGM



Freemont Street before the light show




During the light show





This picture cracks me up. Our hotel had a replica of NYC's world famous Carnegie Deli. We knew they were famous for big sandwiches, but did not realize how big. This is half of the sandwich. There were literally 14 ounces of turkey on it. For the record, we do not eat that much lunch meat at our house in a week! Ha!
