Getting ready to see "Zumanity"

Viva Las Vegas Baby

April 2011

Was lucky enough to take a girls trip to Las Vegas with:

- Breanna

- Franci

- Janis

We hit up the country scene as the Academy of Country Music Awards were in town! Love it!

Friday

Hit up the Townsquare for lunch at Tommy Bahama's - they have the best key lime pie I have ever had!!! Started off the day with tropical cocktails and a Diet Pepsi for me.

Had one-hour of down time by the pool in the 93 degree heat - loved it!

Dinner: Took the girls to Maggianos - the best family style Italian food - the girls were impressed and loved the selection.

Show: We went to see Zumanity; the sensual side of Cirque de Soleil - this was the second time I had seen this show but I enjoyed it more this time; it's got quite a risque twist; great dancers, contortionists, singers, and unique acts.

Finished off the night with a little gambling at the South Point Resort and Casino - this is the hotel I stay at every time I'm in town.

Saturday:

Breanna and I hit the shopping scene while Franci/Janis soaked in some rays. We went to Forever 21 - that store is huge in Vegas (two-stories with tons of merchandise). We skimmed the Fashion Show Mall.

Dinner: The Bellagio Buffet (my favorite)

Evening: We went to the Toby Keith Bar and Grill - no sightings of Toby but he did appear on Sunday night. Finished off the evening there until 2:00 a.m.

Sunday:

Lounging pool side once again. We were so happy to see the sun due to constant rain back home.

Today we went to the first ever ACM Fan Jam hosted by Sugarland; it was quite a show with a mixture of simulcast ACM's, live concerts and performances by various country stars (Eric Church, Laura Bell Bundy, Sugarland, Rhianna, The Band Perry, Steel Magnolia and many more).

After the 6-hr show, we went back to Toby Keith's Bar and Grill for more live music and dancing; finished off the evening at 3:00 a.m. with sore feet.

Monday:

Had a late breakfast at Mon Ami Gabi in the Paris - delicious breakfast crepes and entrees. Definitely a "go back". I will be sure to try this place out for dinner some time.

Had to say good-bye to Sin City as we boarded our Southwest flight at 1:30 p.m.

A very busy 4-day girls weekend that was worth the lack of sleep, sore feet, and aching backs. We loved it!
