...yeah, whatever! Sorry, but I wasn't THAT bad! But it really was a fun time. I have never stayed in Vegas for 6 days straight before. That is a VERY long time. But every day was fun and different.
We arrived on Wednesday afternoon. We checked in to our room which I absolutely loved! It was huge and so comfortable. And it had a doorbell. I loved the doorbell. It's the little things in life that make me happy! The pool area was really nice. There were several pools although I only tried out 2 of them.

Thursday the 18th was Luigi's actual birthday. No one from our group had arrived yet so we decided to just keep it low key and stay close to "home". We spent a few hours at an adult only pool called The Pond. Comfy beds to lie on and I loved the waterfall going into the pool. I guess I could have removed my top there? Uh...NO. For starters, this girl does not wear a 2 piece and it's kind of hard to remove a top when it's connected to the bottom. Let's just say I enjoyed the pool fully covered.
That evening we actually ventured into Las Vegas. We headed downtown and met Christina, our sister-in-law, for dinner at Ricardo's (on Flamingo and Decatur). It's a Mexican Restaurant for locals. Love their food! I always make it to Ricardo's no matter what. After that we hit Fremont Street. They had an 80s band out there and it was fun. The Fremont Street Experience show that we saw was KISS. Enjoyed it and with that...I am really dating myself! At about 11:00, it was time for bed. Headed back to the resort and I was out like a light. Slept until noon on Friday! On Friday, everyone started to arrive. I realized that I had forgotten my camera so a quick trip to 2 different Targets was in order. I bought a Nikon touchscreen Coolpix. I love it! Aunt Mickey/Uncle Mike and Aunt Caroline/Uncle Phil were supposed to arrive Friday night but according to the hotel's limo driver, their planes did not come in. As it turned out, they all got caught in a storm and got delayed. Big time. Mike and Mickey made it at 1:00am but Phil and Caroline didn't make it until Saturday night.
Friday night we had a delicious dinner at Hank's Steakhouse compliments of Rob and Jan. It was delicious. I loved the chandelier over our table..
Just like me to go to a restaurant and my favorite thing in there is a light hanging from the ceiling! Like I always say...the little things do it for me. However, this chandelier was was pretty darn big!
Oh, and I found out that after my Fast, a steak settled quite well with me! Very yummy Filet Mignon, esp after "borrowing" Jan's blue cheese sauce!
Jeanette, Esther, and Lucille had arrived so the 3 J's (Jan, Jeanette, Julie) decided it was time to have a girl's night! At this point...I go back to the "What Happens in Vegas"...and leave it at that. It was so much fun. And if you want to know how I got to hang out with the lead singer from the Goo Goo Dolls - just ask. Everything else - a tad embarrassing. Pictures have been erased. NO WORRIES, we did not do anything illegal, immoral, or of the criminal persuasion. J3 Girls are good girls! I know...we aren't THAT much fun. The next morning we were all poolside and enjoyed our day!
