For my early 30th birthday present Adam took me to Las Vegas! It's somewhere I've ALWAYS wanted to go, and he asked me a while back if I'd rather have a big party for my 30th or go on a trip... We left on Saturday morning at 10AM and got to Vegas about 5:45PM (8:45 our time). It was a very long day! We had made plans to go eat and check out some hotels that night but were so exhausted we ate at our hotel and watched tv in bed.
On Sunday, (the single best day I've ever had on a vacation) we checked into Bally's on the strip. Our room was upgraded to a suite with an amazing view! Bally's and the Paris hotel are connected and our room looked out to the Eiffel Tower and the fountains at the Bellagio across the street (they were so close you could hear them)! And it was gorgeous at night! 
After we checked in, we went shopping at Ceasar's Palace, ate crepes in Paris, and went through the Aladdin hotel & shops. After a few hours of resting in our room, we got dressed up and went 
to dinner at the Bellagio. We had an amazing table on the patio overlooking the 
fountains, that went off several times while we ate. We were so close we got wet!

After dinner we got pastries for dessert, walked through the conservatory gardens and then went to see "O" by Cirque du Solei. I've always wanted to see "O", especially after seeing other Cirque shows, it's the show where they do everything in the water. Our meal was great, dessert was great, the show was great, our seats were great, and overall the whole day was the greatest! And that was just the 1st day...
On Monday, Adam went to a bakery in Paris and got chocolate criossants for breakfast then we started our day. We went to the Flamingo where they had 
really pretty pools/gardens, waterfalls and ton of tropical birds! Then we went to Circus Circus, Wynn, a mall for a snack, back to Wynn and then to the Venetian. The Venetian was fun, the canals were pretty, although not as long/big as we thought. We walked around the shops for while, they had some neat stores and art galleries. After that we went into the casino and played nickel slots for a while until it was time for dinner. I won 88, nickels that is. :) We had a GREAT dinner and dessert at sister restaurant of the Cheesecake Factory. After dinner we set out again to see MORE hotels.

We went to Treasure Island and watched the "Sirens" pirate ship show, saw the 
TI hotel, & went to the Mirage hotel. At the Mirage, we watched the volcano 
eruption, walked through a rain forest and saw a really fun aquarium. From there we walked back to Paris and went up to the top of the Eiffel Tower (which really showed how much Adam loves me, he's afraid of heights). We took great pics of the strip and watched the Bellagio fountains from the top of the tower.

pack in the remaining few hotels we hadn't seen before it was time to go to the airport. We went to the Luxor, Excalibur, NY NY, and MGM Grand. We stayed at the MGM for a while watching lion cubs in the lion habitat. The were so sweet. We also went back to the Bellagio to see the conservatory during the day. Then we left for the airport, flew all night and got home at 12:55AM!

Thanks SO SO much to all of you who were praying for me while we were on our trip. I did great! We walked 2-3 miles a day and I was in very little, to no pain at all. The pain was never so bad that a Tylenol couldn't fix it.
