My Goodness, My Guinness: Vegas!!

Wow, we had WAY too much fun in Vegas. We did not have as much fun as a lot of the people we were seeing around Vegas though, which is a very good thing. Soooo many people were soooooo messed up during all hours of the day! It's such a weird town. We had a blast though, and we did a LOT of walking! On Saturday we arrived in Vegas at around 3pm, and took a cab to The Venetian so we could get all checked in! It was SO beautiful.

Here's a night picture I took of our hotel!

We had a quick bite to eat at The Venetian and then started walking The Strip! It was so fun seeing everything, and witnessing all the craziness that Vegas has to offer. I took a bunch of pictures:

The ceiling at The Bellagio! It's one of my favorite things. If you haven't heard of it, it's a must-see! It's an art installation by Dale Chihuly, and it's all glass! It's so crazy beautiful.

And this was in the Bellagio conservatory area!

Bellagio conservatory also. A cute birdie made of flowers.

The Luxor!

After exploring a bunch of the resorts on The Strip, we ended up at our Cirque du Soleil show! It was hilaaaaarious, and it's really so incredible what those people can do. There were at least 4 times that I thought someone was going to fall to their death during the show, but nope! I am very happy to report that everyone survived. McGee and I were pretty much zombies by the time the show was over though because it was SO late for us and we'd been up almost 24 hours by that point! We made our way back to The Venetian and crashed SO hard.

The next morning we were up decently early (that time difference really messes things up...), and we had a nice breakfast at the resort before exploring more of Vegas! We had an awesome day, and that evening we had dinner at Gordon Ramsay's Steak restaurant! We both ordered the Beef Wellington, it was amaaaaazing. The really fun/awkward part though was that the "steak knives" they gave us were NOT sharp at all... so we were making such a mess out of our beautiful Beef Wellingtons while we were trying to cut them! They still tasted delicious of course, but we were both trying to not look ridiculous while we were cutting our dinners. We were both cracking up about it while we were trying to be sly with our cutting.

After dinner was LIONEL RICHIE!!! That man can put on a show. It was SO amazing, and he's such a good performer! He sounded great, and made the show so fun for everyone. After the show was over, we did a little bit of gambling! We even tried roulette, and we actually won about $70! We'd lost about $50 playing slots, video poker, etc, so all in all we were up about $20! Not too shabby.
