Andy and I started off on our adventure to Vegas, to meet Ashlea and Jarred, wide-eyed and bushy tailed ready for our complementary drinks on our flight only to find out our coupons were discontinued. The trip could only get better from there, right? And it did!
Night one we decided to keep it pretty low key. Once we all got to our hotel, Planet Hollywood, we decided to test our luck in the casinos. Lets be honest, the games are pure luck and the only upside are the free drinks.
The next day we did the touristy side of Vegas and just walked The Strip and took in the people watching!
Andy met a Transformer and was beyond thrilled.
We took a nice couple picture in the front on the MGM.
And got a sore neck riding the roller coaster at the New York, New York.
That night Andy and I had a date night and went to Peepshow. Peepshow is the burlesque fairy tale inspired show featuring Playboy Playmate Holly Madison. The show was entertaining to say the least. There were AMAZING dance numbers and some that made you wonder, "how is it even possible to bend that way?" I'm not saying the show was an A+++, it could definitely use some improvements. 1. The story line didn't really make sense, but with there being lots of boobies and Playmate does it really need to make sense. For me? It would be nice. 2. The singers were horrendous. The only good singer was the Peep Diva. You can tell the Holly Madison's name and celebrity makes the show. I would recommend it if you're a big Playboy, Girls Next Door of Holly Madison fan.
After the show we met up with Ashlea and Jarred at a FABULOUS piano bar. Definitely must see if you love good classic covers with a twist.
The next day we FINALLY got to watch the Bellagio fountain show and walked the other end of the strip. We went to Caesars in hope of scoring Elton tickets, but he didn't have a show until Valentine's Day :( After conquering that end of the strip we made our way to The Freemont Street Experience. Freemont Street is a LOT different than the Strip. It is very old school. While there Ashlea and I did the zip line which was a lot of fun!
Our last day in Vegas we went to the Hoover Dam. We decided to take a detour before going to the Hoover Dam and did a little off roading in Arizona. Impromptu adventures are always fun, but can also be a bit scary. We made it all the way to Lake Mead, which was gorgeous. It is amazing how beautiful our country is.
After surviving our off-roading adventure we made it to the HOOVER DAM! It is quite breath taking. I can't believe the knowledge and engineering they had back then. Beyond amazing! We did the full fledged tour, seeing the Hoover Dam from the inside out.
All of us in front of an air vent that is in the Hoover Dam.

Then FINALLY! I got In-N-Out Burger! It was the one thing I HAD to get while in Vegas. And it was well worth it.
The perfect end to a wonderful trip!
