We stayed at the Holiday Inn Express Resort - Desert Club Resort. It was about a 15 min walk to the strip which was pretty good. It was super hot but a dry heat as compared to the horrid humidity here in London Ontario so it was nice. I love the heat (I don't think I was meant to be born in Canada haha)
First day we walked down the strip to Bally's and the Cosmopolitan and such and gambled/shopped our day away! Litter so fun, we went into a Prada store which was hilarious since we SO didn't fit in haha. But everyone was really nice:) Then we went to a Tiffany & co which was so sparkly and princessesque. Didn't make any purchases at the high end stores, but I really liked looking. I'm a big fan of window shopping.
2nd day we went swimming, ate at the on site restaurant which was pretty good. They served starbucks drinks there which was cool. Then we walked to the Rio which was quite the trek along the I-15 but was amazing once we got there. We played Craps a lot and won, and then lost haha that's kind of how it goes I suppose. Then we saw the Penn & Teller show which was great although it was a little short in my opinion. We got awesome huge drinks in giant cups which was really fun!
The greatest thing was that if you were sitting down at a table or machine the girls came around and offered you free drinks :D Hooray for being cheap!
3rd day we went to the Premium Outlet mall which was AMAZING. I got a Coach cross-body bag for HALF price as well as a pair of Nike's for super cheap! I've worn my bag everyday and my new shoes every time I've hit the gym since I got back! We drove past the Gold and Silver Pawn shop (from Pawn Stars) which Nathan (the boy) was super excited about. We saw a lot of cool stuff on the shuttle and had a great driver named BP. We wanted to know so badly was it stood for but were too shy to ask! Any ideas?
At night we went to the Venetian and saw Rock of Ages which was AWESOME!!! It's an 80's music show similar to We Will Rock You. Quite the show! Not a family show though just fyi.
The next "day" I got up early (yes I know who gets up early on vacation??) to go sit by the pool because we had to leave the resort at 945 and I wanted to get some sun in before we had to leave.
We got to the airport and met another UFC fighter (we met one at a signing on the first day at the shopping mall) which was pretty cool.
Got back to Toronto on the day of the flood. JOYFUL. Power was out at the airport so everything was backed up and slow. Took a bit but we eventually got home safe and sound so no complaints here.
Here's a few pictures of the cool things we got and did.
