Where we've been, What we'll see...: October 2009

So the picture's are kind of out of order, but basically Brent took me to fabulous Las Vegas to celebrate my 21st birthday. This time around we did vegas right, it was such a blast. Brent and I and two of Brent's coworkers drove down in our fabulous rental car....a Toyota Prius! Got a speeding ticket even with a radar detector. (Luckily Brent and I weren't driving, but I still feel bad for his coworker.) We got to Vegas and went to the VIP check in at the Flamingo. Brent had the hook up as he worked with the (now former) manager of Donny and Marie. We got discounted, SUPER nice rooms. That is what a vegas hotel room should be, wayyy better than the Luxor. The room was complete with a tv in the bathroom mirror so you can watch from the tub or shower, (or toilet i guess).
We also got free tickets to the Donny and Marie show. We headed there and saw that the four of us were by far the youngest people attending to show. But we had really good seats and it was all still fun even though none of us have ever listened to Donny or Marie. Our parents were jealous of us. :)
Next Brent and I put our money into the slot machines for the first time in both of our lives! And of course we didn't win anything and realized the slots were pretty much a waste of time. Brents coworkers lucked out though it was just us that kept losing. After that we left the Flamingo and walked around the strip for awhile. We watched our friend play some roullette, and finally went back to our hotel room for the night.
The next day we did some more site seeing and browsing. Saw the lions at the MGM grand, went to an Arcade and saw Sonic the hedgehog, went to the Coca Cola store, then rested up for Brents big birthday surprise.
We had dinner at the rainforest cafe before heading over to the Hard Rock Hotel for my surprise. Brent tried to cover my eyes as we drove in because there was a huge bilboard with Dane Cook on it. My baby knows what I like and he knows how to spoil me! We enjoyed Dane Cook's Isolated Incident show as well as two comedians who opened for him who where actually really funny as well.
After the show brent played his first game of roullette as I looked on. I watched as some people next to us lost a LOT of money and I watched a lady win a good amount. I finally peeled Brent away while he was ahead 30 bucks. Brent was proud of his winnings and would proudly express that he had "beat the house" for the rest of the night.
we headed to margaritaville for kicks (in our friends cases' for drinks) When the bouncer handed back my ID he told me happy birthday. We watched all the drunks an the crazies below and I started getting the feeling that it was getting close to being time to leave. After awhile vegas makes me feel a little depressed for humanity. Two days was enough time.

It was a great vacation and it was an AMAZING birthday present. My husband knows how to treat me and show me a good time. :)
