Back from SIn City

Yeah, it ain't my 1st trip to Sin City believe you me, but it was a fun one.  Needed this trip more than I realized, a little R&R does not hurt anyone.   Tho, the drive out there is a little long, but hey I can handle 4hrs, what am I a weenie baby (as my hub's would say) or something of that nature?  Naw, my butt and lower back can handle it...sure, no problem.......

Luckily we get to Vegas and our room was ready by 1:00 instead of check-in time of 3:00, yay!  This time we stayed at the Bellagio. 
Very nice indeed.  The bathroom was ginormous in this hotel room.  Like big.  Can I like say BIG one more time?  Yes, I think I can, this is my blog after all.  It was frickin big!

When you are in Vegas you must walk, and walk, and walk some more, which is really no prob, but I saw some peeps having quite the time with the xtra bit of exercise they were having to muster up.  So note, to Brian...yes dude, I got in like several workouts in a 24hr period and we won't even go with the personal workouts---doh!  It's funny tho, cuz Vegas is one of the only cities where it is legal to walk and carry an alcoholic (opened) beverage down the streets.  Oh, and the almost naked, tattoo'd girl dancing on the corner and the holy roller preacher man with his megaphone right next to her was sorta interesting in a weird sorta way.  Tho, as you know, when in Vegas....anything pretty much goes and then some.

We weren't in Vegas to see a show.  My hub's and I just needed some quality time.  We had booked a reservation at a 5-star restaurant in town.  Craftsteak, which if you are privvy to watching Top Chef, Chef Tom Colicchio is owner of this establishment.  What can I say?  The food was deeelish!  Pricey, but hey, it is a 5-star eatery after all, but well worth the money spent.  The steak, scallops just pretty much melted in your mouth, and the sides were very good.  Props to Craftsteak, the meal and the service were mucho appreciated.

I wasn't expecting to see a show mind you.  Our hard earned $$ was being pretty much used up for eating, sleeping, and romping.  Hub's had other ideas as I found out after dinner.  He kept teasing me about seeing some musical called "Menopause," yeah right Mr. frickfracksomethingsomethin, come to find out he had bought me a ticket to see The Thunder From Down Under. 
OMG!  It was a little weird not going with GFs to see a male venue type of show, but I made friends pretty fast at my table.  Hey, I was even offered a freebie jello shot....gotta luv it!  All I can say, is the dudes were pretty spectacular.  That's it.  You will have to go see it ladies.  Yeah, LADIES.  The Aussie dudes have a little bit of a prob with men coming into see their show.  I get that.

Ok, the rest of my shinanigans stops here.  You know the saying, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas."  Does it ever!!
