Viva Las Vegas!

Las Vegas!

If you had asked me the second I got off the airplane from Las Vegas I probably would have said that it was "OK." It wasn't until today, three days later.. that I am realizing how much I really did love and enjoy my stay there. Along with the beautiful lights, shows, and late nights. 

The first day was Thanksgiving day and after a long day at the airport we finally made it to our hotel at the Venetian. It is a beautiful hotel modeled after Roman architecture and designs. Once we got to our hotel we took showers and went downstairs to the restaurants and found one that looked nice on the outside. I ended up having their "Thanksgiving Menu" (just the main dish) and it was so delicious. I was happy that I still had my Thanksgiving dinner because I did not realize how much I missed Thanksgiving and all of the food. I also had my first drink in Vegas after turning 21 and it was a mojito! Not too sure why I wanted that, and I only had a few sips, but it was very minty and delicious! 

By that time it was already pretty late but we went sight seeing all over! And everything seemed as if they were never closing. We saw many pretty places that night along with the following day and night. I gambled $20 and lost it to a slot machine within, maybe 5 minutes, so I realized that gambling is not my thing. (But I understand why it is so tempting!). 
While we were there we saw Le Reve which was a very beautiful show that I would highly recommend. I am already thinking about all of the other shows I want to go back and see... 
On Saturday night, though... my mom and I had VIP passes to JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE!

Yes, you read it right. We met some awesome ladies while we enjoyed a free dinner with drinks before the show and we sat in row 10! Not the front row, but way closer than I could ever dream! 

You could actually see his face! He played for three whole hours and was beyond amazing. My favorite song right now is Mirrors and hearing him sing that and being able to sing along at the top of my lungs was a dream come true. 

I can't wait until I can see him again! Maybe this time with meet and greet passes? :) 
In all... I did not get the "crazy" Las Vegas experience but I had a very fun one. I can't wait to go back again to see so much more. It seems small but there is SO much to see and do.
