Thanksgiving/Vegas

This Thanksgiving was spent with the Ricks family in sunny warm Las Vegas NV! We arrived Wednesday and spent the day with family. Once the kids were down for the night Sterling and I hit the strip. This was my first experience in Vegas so I was realy excited. The first thing we did was hit New York New York and rode the huge roller coaster. That was totally awesome! I wish we could have purchased one of the pictures they take while on the ride....it was so funny. After New York New York we headed up the strip going in and out of various casinos. We hit some slots at he Bellagio, kind of a wast of money if you ask me but I had no clue what I was doing haha. After that I needed something for my dry mouth (I hadn't slept in 24 hours so I was in over drive trying to keep up) so we headed over to the Caesars Palace. After Caesars Palace we headed back to the Bellagio and looked at their fall display...wow...seriously the coolest thing ever. Please don't judge how I look in some of these pictures it was like 1 in the morning and again I hadn't slept in 24 hours.
There is so much to do on the strip and we didn't even get to half of it! As we walked from casino to casino I couldn't help but think why are there so many family's out this late! Seriously it was midnight and later and we saw SO many family's out and about.
Thanksgiving was great! We spent the day in with family eating loads of delicious food. Later that night Jeanie, Jamie and I went to the theater (located in a casino lol) and watched twilight!! I loved the ending!! Seriously cant wait for part 2. Day after Thanksgiving we were surprised with tickets to a show called Le Reve at the Wynn. What an awesome show! After that we enjoyed a wonder dinner located at the fashion show mall. Loads of things to do in Vegas but never enough time! Maybe for a little weekend get away Sterling and I can head back and hit some more rides and all you can eat restaurants :). Never a place I will take the kids, just to much smoke and "garbage" shoved in your face.
