Las Vegas!!






What a weekend is all I can say. I certainly needed a weekend away and boy did I let loose. Wendy had 12 of us go out to Vegas to celebrate her 40th birthday. We stayed at the Mandalay Bay and what a beautiful hotel it is. The pool area is like an amusement park. We arrived Friday night and met Wendy, Chris, Deb and Mike by the pool. They had been there a majority of the day, so I felt compelled to catch up with them with the beverages. I had 2 margaritas and 2 shots of Patron within a 45 minute period. That didn't include the shot of tequila I took in the room before going to the pool and the other shot I took when we got back from the pool. Needless to say I was feeling no pain (until the next a.m.). We then got ready to meet everyone for dinner at Rum Jungle for dinner. I heard the food was delicious. I couldn't eat my $85 plate of food (drank too much). We then ended up at the club at the very top of the Mandalay Bay called the Foundation Room. You have to be a member or guest to get into it. Our friend Deb got us all in some how and that was loads of fun. By 12:00 midnight I walked myself out of the bar into my wonderful bed in the hotel.


Here are some pics of us.

I awoke and met the girls at 10:00 a.m. in the lobby to go shopping at Cesars Palace and have lunch. I window shopped as there was no way I was buying anything in those stores YIKES! The other gals had fun making purchases and I enjoyed watching them. Lunch was delicious. We ate at Spagos. At around 4:00 we met the men around the pool for drinks (ugh not me). I drank lots of Diet Pepsi (yuch I hate pepsi, thats all they had). Then we all got ready for our Birthday dinner with the gang. We ate at Smith and Wollenski. Wow is all I can say. We had a private room in the kitchen. It was a glassed in room where you could see the chefs cooking. The whole crew in the kitchen were such good sports. They joked around with us a lot with some of the funny things we were doing in there (not that bad). Chris bought us all (12 of us) dinner and wine.
