Vegas and "stuff"

So Allen and I just got back from Vegas! We had a great time. The trip was only from Friday through Monday morning but honestly, that is enough time in Vegas. On our first night there, we had tickets to O!, which is one of Cirque Du Soleil's shows. It was pretty amazing. The stage alone must have costs millions to customize. They are pretty serious about cameras not being allowed in there, so I could not take any pictures!

On Sat. night, we met up with my long lost friend, Julia Chien. It is pure coincidence that she found me a month before we were coming out to Vegas where she is a casino host and Ceasar's Palace. It was so good to see her. We went to 'Social House', an amazing sushi place in Treasure Island. Julia, then took us to a club called Prive. It is in the Planet Hollywood Casino and it was awesome. I missed Justin Timberlake by a mere 24 hours. Damnit. With Julia leading the way, we skipped right past the huge line to get in and went to our table. We had table service and....well.....I am not quite sure what he was, but a guy that basically stood there like a body guard for us. No one could get too close to us, and if someone lit a cigarette, he was right there with a lighter. So we had table service and......that. Him. Whatever. He was very nice though.

We stayed out until the wee hours of the morning that night, and Allen drank way too much, so we slept in the next day. On Sunday we had tickets to another show called Zumanity. This is another Cirque show and I highly recommend it. You won't find anything like this in Dallas. It was very crude, and very funny. Lots of naked acrobatics. (And how can you go wrong with that!?!) Again, very sensitive about the cameras in there, so no pics of that either. I didn't do so well taking pictures on our trip!

There was a lion display at our casino, which was the MGM Grand. It had a glass tunnel in it, and when the lions were laying on top of it, I snapped a shot or two. They are so huge and impressive. They could not have cared less if we were there.

To sum up Vegas: fun, smokey, don't stay at the MGM - try somewhere else. Now that I have done it, I'm glad I did, but Shreveport will do.

I stayed home today to hang out with The Monster (because I missed him) and catch up on laundry and things I needed to get done. So, what better to do with Alex than play dress up! I kept the Halloween costume simple this year since I will have to carry him everywhere we go.

Anyone have any Halloween plans? I would love to take Alex out but he is so young, I am not sure it would be worth us going by ourselves since it would look like and obvious attempt to just get candy for myself. If anyone is trick-or treating, let me know. I would love to join you for a bit.

BOO!
