Viva Las Vegas

We just returned from 3 nights in fabulous Las Vegas....What a crazy place! As the time grew closer for us to leave we were very worried about being away from the girls...but it turns out we had an amazing time and very much enjoyed our vacation alone so we could reconnect and take a break from all of the events that left us housebound throughout the last year or so. Mimi and Papa had the girls for 4 days while we were gone and it sounds like they had a great time! Though I did hear several times after we returned "they really keep you busy don't they!" We are so thankful that we have mimi and papa to help us out so we can get away.

We stayed in the MGM Signature - which was very nice condo within 10 minutes walking to the Strip. The highlights of our trip included an evening performance of the Phantom of the Opera, which was incredible! We also had a romantic dinner at Olives which is outside on a balcony right next to the Bellagio fountains and with a beautiful view of the Eiffel Tower....perfect!


Of course we tried our hand at blackjack and some slot machines and did not walk away any richer. All in all we had a great vacation but decided our next trip is going to include the girls and probably involve a sandy beach :)
