Viva Las Vegas!

A long overdue trip for two! Finally a vacation ...what better place than Vegas Baby! Eric has never been to Vegas so we had lots to do and see in a short amount of time. We did lots of walking up and down the strip and checked out about a dozen of the great hotels and casinos. We stayed at Excalibur, which is located in between the Luxor and New York New York. It had a great pool area, nice rooms, good location and a large food court with a 24 hour McDonald's, which sure does come in handy at 3:00 am! I also found my new favorite sub shop which is located in Planet Hollywood. The Earl of Sandwich, I will have to say it actually might top Pot Belly! I also found my new favorite drink; it's the Red Raspberry Martini from The Cheesecake Factory! I can't wait to go to Edina to have another, so yummy!! We rented a car to check out Lake Mead the Hoover Dam and the new bridge that is being built over it. All very very amazing! We were able to spend an evening with our friends Chad and Becky who were also in Vegas. We knew they were  somewhere in Vegas the funny thing is I actually spotted them in a restaurant! Needless to say they were totally shocked to see our faces planted up against the window! We ended up having a great night of cocktails and dancing with them! We also learned how to play roulette which is now our favorite, we didn't win big but had fun trying! The weather was ok...a little chilly one day, and very very windy but for the most part nice. A few hours in the sun each day was just enough for a much needed nap! Out trip for two was great, hopefully we don't let another 3 years go by before taking another!
