Our quick trip to Vegas was a lot of fun. It is crazy that in those two full days we
walked a total of 22 miles! We didn’t do
a whole heck of a lot but we had a lot of fun.
On Tuesday when we flew out of Boise, the
football team was flying out 10 minutes ahead of us on a charter flight at the
gate near us. I was wearing my new BSU
jacket, which ended up getting me through TSA really fast as they thought I was
with the team.
We booked a fountain view room at Bellagio, which
was awesome. It was a comped deal since
Kenyon plays the My Vegas game and we are also MLife rewards members. It was amazing to be able to see the fountain
so frequently. If anything, I took it
for granted and wished I had spent more time in the room. Maybe we can get this deal again in the
future.
Our first night in Vegas, we rode the bus to The
Park, which is by New York New York and Monte Carlo and where the new T-Mobile
Arena is. There was a Golden Knight
hockey game so there was a lot going on.
I had wanted to have a beer at Beer Haus but sadly, we didn’t stop
in. From there we continued to the South
Outlet Mall where I found stuff to buy at both Kate Spade and Vera Bradley.
The Bellagio Conservatory did not
disappoint. It has been changed over to
their Christmas display and I think this was my favorite yet. Since we were staying at The Bellagio, we
were able to snap photos early in the morning before it got crowded.
We got the 24-hour buffet deal at the Total
Rewards casinos (Planet Hollywood, Flamingo, Harrah’s, and Paris) and when we
made our way to the Flamingo, we noticed the habitat exhibit we’ve not been
to. It was so neat to see this oasis in
the middle of Sin City.
We both did pretty well at the slot
machines. I put on my Vegas Jamberry
nail wraps just before I left and I think it brought me luck. Kenyon and I played off our winnings the
entire weekend.
We rode the bus to the Hard Rock casino, which I’ve
wanted to visit because they have various memorabilia to look at. Despite getting off the bus at the closest
stop, we still had to walk a mile or so to get there.
We signed up for their casino club card for $15
in free casino free play. I swear to
you, our waitress was lucky. Each time
she came around to ask if we wanted a drink, we would suddenly start to
win. And once, Kenyon won $300! We cashed out after that and caught the
shuttle from the hotel back to the strip.
We needed a break from gambling because we didn’t
want to lose money after we finally won some back so we headed to Cowboy
Christmas as part of the National Rodeo Finals.
It has grown a lot since we’ve been there the last few years.
We ended our night at Buca de Bippo for some
pizza. We had a coupon so we got a large
one. Boy was it large!
I’ll miss this view…and the warm temps!
