Las Vegas Girls Trip

This past weekend I got to get away for a short girls trip to Vegas with Jen!  Our husbands are going to Costa Rica later this year on a fishing trip so about 6 months ago Jen and I started talking about taking a girls trip since they guys were taking a guys trip.  We decided on Vegas!  We stayed at the Mirage Hotel which was a first for both of us and it was wonderful!  We enjoyed pool time with adult drinks, walks up and down the strip, shopping, seeing Amy Schumer (comedian) at the Riveria and Cirque Du Soleil show "O" which was amazing, the animal habitat at the Mirage and a nice romantic dinner with a view at Eiffel Tower..oh wait!  LOL
Breakfast at BB King's BBQ joint in our hotel
Lunch at Carnegie Deli (this was half of the sandwich that Jen and I split!)
Miami Vices by the pool
Amy Schumer at Riveria
So Jen and I LOVE to play Wheel of Fortune in Vegas.  The last time we went together we won $1100 on the big Wheel of Fortune machine!  We were a little sad to find out that all the hotels had taken out the big wheels and replaced them with the smaller electronic versions.  Jen and I found our 'lucky' machine and one of the winning spins came up with 'Arkansas' as the word we won on so I of course had to take a picture!  We didn't win like we did several years ago but we had a great time!
(3000 = $30.00 on this machine)
Being silly with hats
White Sangria (don't worry...we were sweating so much that this pitcher did nothing to us)
Dinner at Eiffel Tower (our table was right behind us at the window so we had an awesome view)
Our view at dinner of the Bellagio water fountain show
Our view at "O"

Jen won $129 at one point on the Wheel of Fortune machine
Sunday we walked to Serendipity 3 and had a world famous Frozen Hot Chocolate!  It was yummy! 
It was a great time away with some much needed relaxation for both of us while the dad's spent some time with the kiddos!
