PRR World Cup
This past weekend we had a fun getaway to Vegas (one of my favorite places).
We arrived on Friday and headed to In and Out for lunch (another one of my favorites). I was able to score tickets to the PBR World Cup for Saturday night at UNLV. To my surprise, they were front row tickets (totally cool). The whole event was professional bull riding; the countries represented were Brazil, Mexico, Australia, Canada and USA. Our seats were so close to the shoots that the dirt and drool from the bulls were coming our way (that's how close we were). It was a great show full of excitement. We just so happen to be sitting five rows in front of the country duo - Joey and Rory. They are a super cute couple!
Another one of my favorites in Vegas is the conservatory at the Bellagio - this is the most unique displaying of flowers, shrubs, and art deco. I love photographing flowers in this setting (attached are a few).
Saturday we went to Town Square where we did some shopping and had a killer lunch at Brio (a new favorite of mine). It was the perfect day; around 85 degrees, sunny, no wind. We even made our way to the pool for some R&R. That evening we went to see some free concerts on Fremont Street. Miranda Lambert and Luke Bryan (pictured) were on center stage; there were tons of country fans and glitz.
Sunday was my favorite day - we went to the Academy of Country Music Awards at the MGM Grand. This is a quite the show -- it starts with the red carpet where you see at the stars exiting their limos and walking the red carpet for photos. Once inside the arena, there is tons of hype, lights, music, set changes, exciting performances, surprises and fantastic entertainment. My favorite performance was that of Carrie Underwood; she is so very glamorous and has a phenominal voice.

Next year I promise to take my girls (yes girls, I will do my best to get tickets) -- it's not always an easy process getting tickets to this event but I'm on it. ACM's 2011 here we come!
Happy trails,
