VEGAS BABY!

So Dal and I went to Vegas this weekend, decided to get away and Dallan was gonna go to a conference down there. Well to start things off we got to our hotel, it was around 90 degrees outside and we walked into our room to be hit with a heat wave! we were in studio, which is a smaller room and our air conditioner wasn't on for some reason, so we turned on the air and took the opportunity to go down to the pool and spas. We returned to our room about and hour later to find that our room was still hot! It was actually 2 degrees warmer than when we left. Needless to say we called for maintenance. Took them about an hour or more to get to our room, not fun... and when they got there they said that our air conditioner was frozen and that they would have to turn on the heater to melt it so it would work. They left and I said NO WAY! so I called the front desk, and we got upgraded to a 2 bedroom! YES! that was nice, WAY bigger, not that we needed the space but it's always nice to have :)
The next day was the day of the conference. We went o the MGM to catch a shuttle, which never came after waiting for 35 minutes, and so we caught the monorail to the LV convention Center; I think thats the one in Rainbow Six! anyways, we walked it and wow, tech geek nerdathon! Yeah, not so much what Dallan was thinking it was... totally boring to me anyways and what I
expected. So that was a bust. The next day I laid out by the pool, so nice... then we went down to Caesars for lunch at the Cheesecake Factory, yum. We then saw that there was a Serendipity
outside of Caesars so we partook. Had to try a frozen hot chocolate, and I have to say, not as good as I imagined, a little too dark chocolatey for me. But the really cool thing is that while we were eating said frozen cocoa, this helicopter flew over us and it totally had like Rainbow Six guys hanging out the sides with their guns! I thought it was cool...

So later that day we went to the Bodies exhibit, WEIRD! Like interesting, but weird... lots of pee-pees! haha. and then we went to a Cirque show, Believe with Criss Angel... and it sucked big time! so weird and just not cool. Like whoever wrote it was a person with ADHD on crack... the cirque parts were cool even though they didn't make ANY sense, and Criss was just unimpressive... didn't do anything cool or like he does on his shows, mostly cheap magician tricks. LAME.

So yesterday, the day we left, we decided to get some breakfast. Saw a Dunkin donughts and HAD to go in to get a french crueller! and of course they were out. So we drove all the way out to this other one, which had them, only the were kinda getting stale... oh well. So we played
some slots at the New York New York and were on on way.... so that is the story of our trip, it was good even with the sucky show and everything...
