Vegas Baby Yeah!

In morning, we were able to both sleep in, which hasn't happened in a long time. Dan & I usually take turns getting up with Bella so we knew this trip was going to be different for sure. 3 days of pure fun. I handed Dan his card that let him know what shows that we were going to be seeing that night.

We looked at the things that we wanted to do that say and where we wanted to go first. So we were off to Caesar's Palace to eat at our best friend, Bobby Flay's restaurant, MESA grill. It was sooooo good.

BIG TUNA

We did some sight seeing of the different hotels and then we took the Monorail to the MGM grand where we saw the Lion Habitat and walked around the block to go to M&M World. 4 floors m&ms chocolate, in every color, and tons of souvenirs. We got Bella a cute little pink backpack, a cup, and some ornaments for our awesome friends.



It was time for us to get going to our first show...THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA.



Dan had seen the production before a few times in San Fransisco, but I never had so we had to see it. Which I'm glad we did because Dan said it was the best Phantom he has ever seen. They have this show in The Venetian where they built a $40 million opera house that is staged just for this show. AMAZING!!!


The Phantom's Box

All of these people were wax!


After the show we walked around The Venetian...
got some gelato, very good by the way, and got ready for our next show...sitting in the poncho section for the BLUE MAN GROUP!!!


This was an awesome show. Dan was hit with jello and some banana. Then he was also spotlighted to sing the National Anthem at the beginning of the show. Just a bit they like to do. =)
We got to meet them after the show and also some of the band.

The day was ended by getting room service, TV, and sudoku....good day!

Wow, what a fun day! It sounds like you got to fit in a TON of fun things! And to see a blue man, well I hope you got a glimpse of Tobias Fünke in the background! ha ha

I like the photos of you in the ponchos, the theater for Phantom looked really neat too. And do you wear glasses now?

That plate of food looked yummy. We'll have to go together to Vegas sometime!
