Rich and I were lucky enough to be able to take a trip to Las Vegas recently, kid free and all! Although I missed my girls, we had a great time. We got a really great deal and we were able to stay at a really nice hotel on the strip, The Venetian. Last time we went our hotel wasn't that great so this was a big improvement. We got to the hotel around 12 and there was a big check in line, so we went to eat instead. When we were done we went back to check in and the line was just as long, so we figured oh well, we'll just wait in line. Well right when we got in line, an employee came over and let us and a few people in front of us go to another part of the hotel, where there was no line, to check in. We had a really nice desk clerk, and I was feeling brave so I slipped him $20 and asked for an upgrade. And an upgrade we got LOL. He put us in a 1500 sq ft suite, on the 30th floor, with a view of the pools and mountains. Best $20 we spent there I'd say. Some other things we did on our trip included going downtown to Fremont St. to see the light show, riding the Gondolas at our hotel, going to Madame Tussauds wax museum, went on the Nascar ride (not my thing lol), Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay, saw Sirens of TI at Treasure Island hotel, saw a comedy-magic show, lounged at the pool, and of course ate a lot! We had a couple meals in some nicer restaurants, and it really reminded us that we are just not fancy people LOL. Next time we will remember that! Here are some pics from our trip...
