Vegas...again?

I think I've had my fill of Vegas for awhile. Twice already this year and it's only April! That's a lot for me. Some people love it and can't get enough. Me...not so much. I don't really gamble (although I would like to try black jack) and I am not much of a club person/drinker so...Oh and I HATE the SMOKE! But I do like to dress up and relax by the pool so......

In the garden inside the Encore hotel.

This seemed like such a long trip and we were only there for a 1 1/2 days! I think it's because we drove. The drive there is no problem, easy and only 4 1/2 hours. It's the drive back that's tough. Not only were we tired but we hit A LOT of traffic (lot's of people coming home and accidents). It took over 7 1/2 hours to get home. It was torture!! I don't think I will drive again unless I am going for longer that 2 days. My sister drove most of the way. Lucky me!

Me and my sister.

We stayed at the Encore Hotel which is the new hotel owned by Wynn (and next to the Wynn). Really beautiful hotel. I could see how some people wouldn't like it though - so girly. But I loved it!

Girls night out!

I love how the glass on the wall is broken looking and the butterflies.

More butterflies on the floor. So cool!

Love the lamp.

I guess it's a butterfly theme.

This is interesting.

Vintage phone by the elevators on our floor.

So much bigger than my cell ;)

At night club XS inside Encore. The best night club that I've been to in Las Vegas. It was half inside and half outside by the pool. Amazing decor and great vibe (for Vegas anyway).

Although on my last trip to Vegas (here) I LOVED the glittery glam of the Planet Hollywood hotel, I really liked Encore too. It had a completely different vibe: less flash, more upscale, which was nice. And it was sooo pretty. But the best part was that it was NOT smoke filled. Yeah!

Living For The Weekend

I am off to Vegas again for a littel r&r and maybe have few "whoo hoo's" in between! I know, whoo hoo is so nerdy but so fitting, right?

I had so much fun last time in January, check out the blog post on that one here. Gosh, I've been going a lot lately, well, for me anyway. I'm normally a bit of a homebody.

Spring 2008 for a bachlorette party. First night was an all white theme.

No theme the second night.

And the year before in March with most of the same girlfriends. The theme was bright fun dresses like the Pussy Cat Dolls (I know so dorky).

That's me second to the right. I know I look confused and didn't get the "cross your legs to be sexy" memo ;)

Cheers!

This group of girls like to do a "theme". It's actually kind of fun.

Have a crazy weekend!

BTW, if any of the girls pictured in these photos, do NOT want to be on my blog, please let me know and I will be more than happy to take you out. Just send me an email. I figured with the way you can post anyone's photo all over Facebook, being featured on my blog is no big deal.

Vegas Baby!

Saturday was the big birthday! We decided to celebrate in style, so last minute, we packed our bags and headed to Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. We were pretty lucky during the trip. Although we didn't win any money gambling (well, I only played $20 on the slot machines so how much could I really win), we did get a complimentary upgrade to a suite on the penthouse level! Awe, they must have known it was my birthday ;p Our suite was so big and gorgeous with a great view. What a way to start out the night! PH has lot's of shopping available. So we checked out Bebe and found some sexy dresses to wear out. After we got all dolled up, we went to Koi for dinner and danced the night away at Prive. Thanks girls for making my birthday so fun!
