Goes on my Blog of course!!!
Last weekend Joey and I went on Vacation!!! to Vegas!!! with Friends!!! That intro is just way too exciting isn't it? Well, it was exciting. All of it.
My golden birthday was Wednesday (I turned 28 on the 28th) and our friend Lucas' golden birthday was Friday (30 on the 30th) so the universe was in perfect harmony for us and 12 of our closest friends to head to Vegas. Let me tell you a little about the trip...
First... Joey and I flew out on Virgin America Airlines. It was my first time on that airline and trust me, it lived up to all the hype.

Flight to Vegas |
Fancy night club lighting and ALL the Mahjong my heart could desire. This vacation was starting off on exactly the right foot!
Once we arrived in the City of Sin, we headed straight to meet our friends at our hotel, the Cosmopolitan. This is one of the newest casino's on the strip and it was unbelievable. Here's what we saw as we entered the lobby.
|
The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas |
Yeah. Amazing right? The chandelier bar was pretty self-explanatory. I couldn't stop staring at it...
|
Chandelier Bar |
Two stories tall and glorious. Basically a ginormous work of art where you can order overpriced drinks. So cool.
As if the entire vacation weren't already jaw dropping enough, Lucas booked a super sweet two-story roof top pool side suite for us all to hang out in. Don't believe me?
|
Lucas' Amazing Suite |
Yep. Those are stairs. IN the suite. Whoa.
So, now that we were all settled in, we could commence our long weekend of vacation celebration.

Obligatory Prom Pic! |

Out on the Patio of the Suite |
Tons of fun and I believe Joey and I stayed up until 4am on the first night in vegas. For sure an ultimate record for us. The next day we all lounged around in the pool. Correction... Rooftop Pool. Up 14 stories in the sky, we were bobbing eye-level with skyscrapers. It was crazy.
|
Rooftop Pool. Not too shabby |
Followed by a quick gambling session where I won $140 playing video poker. I'm a natural. And very good at quitting while I'm ahead.
|
Bling Bling! |
With enough napping and 5 hour energy, we were ready for another night! But not without some seriously fine dining...
|
Papa Johns! |
OK, maybe not your idea of fine dining but this pizza hit the spot and we could all eat and hang out in the suite before heading out for the night.
|
Me and Hubby. And Luke highjacking the pic as usual. |
|
Love these girls |
That night, we we all eager to go see a show. I mean, when in Vegas.... you know... do as the Vegasians do? See a show? OK, maybe that's not a saying, but anyways...
|
Cary's Awkward Solo Shot |
Cary offered to give me a photo op of the show... Isn't she adorable? Yep! And awkward? Yeah. Kinda.
|
Let the show begin! |
Doesn't this show look cool, and amazing, and exciting? Well, it was. Ask ANY of the girls that were watching. However, ask any of the guys in our party, they will tell you they got the best (and possibly most expensive) nap of their lives. Not one guy stayed awake to see the show. Maybe staying up the night before gambling had something to do with it...
Naps aside, the vacation was incredible. Our first time in Vegas together was a trip we'll never forget.
