Las Vegas Trip!

Hi Everyone!  Sorry for the lack of posts, but I have been in Las Vegas for the last 4 days, and then had a test the day after I came back...

So our trip was way fun!  We arrived Thursday evening and went to our Texas themed hotel (lol).  We has to rush there to watch the new Thursday night TV (Community, Parks and Rec, and The Office.)  Well the plane was delayed and the rental car place took forever, so we missed most of the good tv.  We were tired though, so we just chilled out at the hotel.

Yes, that is an oil derrick!

On Friday we started the day at the $3.99 breakfast mega buffet (yeah!) and lost some monies in the casino.  Then we met up with Dylan for lunch which was fun.  We met at the town square outdoor mall place so we walked around and shopped for a little while as well.  After that, we went over to Aaron's Mom's house and hung out for a while.  The rest of the fam was working or off at sorority pledging activities, so we didn't get to see them until later, but we had a nice visit with Aaron's Mom.  Then we headed back to the hotel for a disco nap before the girls went out for evening with the bride-to-be.

No boys allowed!

We started the night at Downtown Cocktail Room, right off of Fremont Street, and then went to this little piano bar called Don't Tell Mama.  It was just like a female version of The Hangover, except no one got lost, or drugged, and Mike Tyson wasn't there.  But still, a super fun night! ;)

Then Saturday morning I got up early to meet the girls for hairdo's, and then the wedding (I am doing a separate wedding post) which was so beautiful and fun!  Then we went back to the hotel for another disco nap, because that night the afterparty was at Insert Coins.

Insert Coins was a really cool bar downtown that is a videogamer's dream come true!  There are vintage video games to play all over, or you can rent a table for the night (which is what we did) and play all the videogames your heart desires off of a number of different game systems.  We opted for XBox 360 (? I think) and an old school Nintendo.  So we drank and gamed, and danced some, and celebrated and had a grand old time!

Mario!

The Gang

The next morning we drug our hungover tails to brunch at Main Street Station with Angela & Erik and Co.  Brunch buffets are apparently serious business in Las Vegas because we got there and tried to sit in one big group, but since part of the group had already been sat before us, it was basically going to take an act of congress to get us all sitting together.  Oh well, it was still very good!

After that a bunch of us went and walked around the outdoor outlet mall.  It was mostly uneventful, minus a few shenanigans :)

The best 75 cents Jeremy ever spent - this is a direct quote, lol

Another separate post will be Aaron and I's trip to the jewelry store, but we did that after the outlet mall.  Then we went and saw his family one last time, so that was good.  We grabbed a quick dinner with Angela and Erik, then headed back to the hotel for our 9pm bedtime, because our plane was taking off at 6am - so we had to get to the airport at 4.  Eek.  So come 3:30 we were checking out, and headed to the airport, and a short 5 hours and two planes later, we were back home.  And oh so tired!  As always, we had such a good time seeing everyone, and can't wait to go back!
