oh, we had a marvelous time! we were actually out and about every day and was only at the resort to sleep!!

unfortunately, our flight left at 6:40am on June 18th, and we missed it by over an hour! we didn’t expect the San Francisco traffic! oh well…we had to wait until 12pm to take that flight to LA and then to Vegas. We arrived at about 2pm, got our rental car, drove past our resort to get something to eat.

we didn’t check in until about 5:30pm. the 1 bedroom we booked was just beautiful! the furnishings were all comfy and the bed is very comfy. we refreshed ourselves and set out for our first real look of vegas. we also brought along the megallan gps we bought at costco and this thing is a huge help. if we miss our exit or turn, it re-routes us in 2 seconds! whew!

we bought the 2 days vegas power pass ($85.50 per person and so worth it!!!) so we just went in and out of the hotels and tried to do as many of the activities on the pass as possible. with the rental car, it was super easy to jump hotels without walking outside in the killing heat! you can go to each activities per day so on the 1st pass day, we went to everything we could and the 2nd day, we re-visited the things we liked - ie: we went to planet hollywood because we get $20 off a $20 purchase so we got some things for the girls. we went on the eiffel tower twice! once in the day time and again the next night so we saw vegas at two different times from there.

also visited the wonderful madame tussaud’s wax museum. we went on the hoover dam tour on our 3rd day (with powerpass) and it was nice abit way too hot!!! about 115 degrees! we were melting, literally.

we played a few hands of poker and blackjack here and there. i’m happy to say we didn’t lost at all. just won a few dollars here and there to pay for some things we did.

on the last day, we stopped by the wynn and tried out their buffet at $30 a person! it was the most expensive we’ve been to and the best!!! their food selection is just delicious! we had repeated servings of their jumbo shrimps and alaskan king crab legs! i couldn’t really eat much of their deserts but their cheesecake and key lime pie was the best i’ve ever tasted! the buffet alone almost almost warrant its own trip back to vegas! seriously!

vera, i hope you guys have a blast!!!
