Viva Las Vegas!

In December we took a quick trip to Las Vegas. Matt had to go for work and I tagged along. It's a pretty sweet deal. I should do it more often! The hotel, rental car, half our meals and Matt's flight were all paid for. I justed used a $50 companion ticket and we got a cheap vacation without kids! (Thanks Hoopes!)





We stayed at the Venetian. It's such a beautiful hotel!




The gondola ride inside the Venetian.




The view from our room. At night at the top of the hour,
we could see (and hear) the volcano erupt at the Mirage.




Large hotels have A LOT of elevators! Just to get
to the hotel parking garage we had to take
THREE different elevators.



The Bellagio had Christmas decorations all made from
flowers. Here's a carnation snowman.




What's Vegas without an Elvis sighting?!




I think the highlight of our trip was seeing the show La Reve. It's a little hard to explain. It's got dancing, acrobatics, synchronized swimming, and free falling from unbelievable heights into a small body of water.
Absolutely AMAZING!

Looks like fun! I love awesome, cheap vacations! I am glad you were able to go to with Matt. Sometimes it is nice to do things just you and your spouse!!!
