What happens in Vegas...

Last weekend Alyssa, Kiele, and I went on a road trip to Vegas! It was so great! We left on Thursday night and stayed in St. George. We had planned on leaving at 8:30 and somehow we didn't get on the road until 10! But we were so excited to get on the road that it didn't even matter!
Here we are looking oh so beautiful Friday morning while we are eating breakfast at the world famous, or maybe just Utah famous, Bear Paw Cafe in St. George. Then Vegas here we come!

We went to eat at the Grand Luxe restaurant at the Palazzo Hotel on Friday night. I didn't love my food but I just made Alyssa share hers with me. Everything else was so yummy! Thanks Jenn for the suggestion!

We went to Phantom on Friday night. While it wasn't nearly as entertaining as Wicked, it was still really great! The Phantom's voice was absolutely amazing!

Kiele was really feeling Phantom-ish after the show and kept hiding behind things making us take pictures. This was one of the better pictures.

After Phantom it was off to see the lights of Vegas, the water show at the Bellagio, and Captain Jack Sparrow!



Saturday we woke up really early, around noon, and spent the day at the pool. It got me so excited for summer!


Before we left Steph told me she read about a restaurant called Serendipity that looked really cute and was famous for their frozen hot chocolate. So we decided to try it. It was THEE cutest place I had ever seen! Everything was pink and orange and it had like an old fashioned soda bar inside. It was so fun. And so delicious. I got this Asian Chicken Salad and it was probably the best salad I have ever eaten. Everything else looked really good too but this was the best.



Here are Lyss and I with the giant frozen hot chocolate!


After dinner we went to Mystere and I am pretty sure this was one of the most amazing things I have ever seen! They are so strong it is unbelievable. I could have watched for hours. Now I want to go back and see every single show that Cirque du Soleil puts on. I couldn't have loved it anymore! Ha ha.


We decided that we wanted to watch the pirate show at Treasure Island. We all remembered it being pretty cool when we were little so we thought we'd stop and watch it. We waited 40 minutes for the next show to start and it was so lame! It was pretty much sluts on parade. We watched for about 3 minutes and decided not to waste anymore of our time. But we did take some pretty great pictures of ourselves while we were waiting. This is just one of the many!


After watching the really great Treasure Island show we went back to Serendipity to try their dessert! It was a little embarrassing when the hostess recognized us. Oh well. On the menu there was a sundae that cost $1,000. We were debating on getting a couple of those but ended up choosing something else.


Just posting this picture makes me want to go back for more of their dessert! We got a deep fried oreo sundae, the frozen hot chocolate, and a strawberry cheesecake sundae. I could not have loved them anymore! They were without a doubt the best dessert I have ever had!

Kiele and I were obviously very excited about our deep fried oreos.

And this is us after we have eaten all that we possibly could of the dessert. We did pretty good. We were so so full though. Miserably full in fact.

Sadly all good things come to an end. Vegas was great! We really need to go again soon! Thanks girls for the fun trip!
