Vegas Baby!

When Lyns graduated we decided to go on our own Senior Trip. We wanted somewhere cheap, close, but so so so fun. What place meets all of those requirements? Vegas! I love Vegas. It is so great! I love everything about it. I love the people. It is the best place to people watch. I wish I could just get a camp chair and sit out on the strip and watch people walk by. I love the food. I love the shows. I love literally everything.

Lynie was really tired on the way to Vegas apparently.

Once we got there we didn't waste anytime hitting the strip...

In front of New York New York.

In front of some weird statue thing.

This was my favorite restaurant ever! It was this delicious mexican restaurant in Planet Hollywood. Mmmm!

Of course Vegas wouldn't be Vegas without something naughty. This huge statue was right next to the yummy mexican restaurant. We definitely had to get pictures with it.

Lyn and I in front of some cool flowers.

Kiele, me, Jules, and Lyns in front of the flowers.

This is our favorite way to take pictures. It looks so cool.

Now at our favorite place in Las Vegas... SeReNdIpItY 3.

We really wanted to get a picture with the tree shaped like a sundae. We had multiple people try to take the picture and none of the stupid people could get the sundae in the picture for some reason. I think they were all retarded or something. This is the best they got.


Here we are waiting for a table. This was the second time we tried to go to the restaurant. The first time we waited for a table for a half an hour before someone had the courtesy of telling us they were closed. If the food wasn't so good then we would not have went back. The service is absolutely horrible. But the food is soooo worth it!

Deep-fried oreos! Need I say more? Serendipity is the best place ever. If you've never been there I definitely suggest trying it. And not only is the food the best... It is probably the cutest restaurant ever too. All pink and orange. Adorable.

These are our "WE LOVE VEGAS!!!'' poses and expressions. We went to Cirque Du Soleil's Ka this night and I am sad to say that it was lame, lame, lame. Mystere is totally where its at. We were pretty disappointed. Especially Julie and Lyns because we had built it up so much for them. Ha. Oops. I really do love Vegas so much and am so glad that it is within driving distance for us. I am ready for another trip there I think. I love that we literally slept til noon, layed out in the pool for a good 5-6 hours and then when it wasn't quite as unbareably hot at night, hit the strip and ate. My kind of vacation! Thanks girls for making it so much fun and thanks Lyns for letting us tag along on your senior trip.

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!
