VEGAS !

Luke and I flew out to VEGAS for 3 days!  This made our 3rd trip in a year.  Yes...we like it!  Our first trip was last Oct for Ramsey and Heather's wedding.  We went in Feb for a GM convention, then back last week for a Chevy convention.  The trip was very fast but we totally enjoyed every moment.  Our flight was upgraded to first class and we enjoyed a few bloody marys, snacks, and warm cookies.  Then we met Carol and Rick at the Encore hotel, which is the 'sister hotel' of the Wynn, where we stayed.  We stayed at Encore in Februrary, as well, and it is fabulous!   I always think of the song "Glamourous" by Fergie!   Vegas is very much an adult 'disney world.'  The first night we ate at Lakeside in the Wynn hotel where we watched the shows overlooking the waterfall. The second night we ate at a Mediterranean Seafood restaurant called Bartolotta, owned by Steve Wynn.  The chef won "top chef."  Needless to say it was a dining EXTRAVAGANZA!  We enjoyed 7 courses of seafood flown in from Italy.  Steve Wynn also dined there the same night....a few tables over.  One of the BEST restaurants EVER!  During the day, I shopped, enjoyed the spa and played a little Roulette, and Pai Gow poker.  We also learned A LOT about the sports book at the Wynn with Joe, Jr. It was super COOL as we watched football and horseraces.  The last night Luke and I ate sushi at Mikumi in the Wynn.  It was DELISH and we sat at a prime table overlooking the coy pond!   After 3 BUSY days AND late nights...we were ready to hop on the plane to see our 3 munchkins!  They stayed at our house with my mom, Lupe, Aunt Katie, and Lucy Burrows (at different times, and followed a '
highly' organized and well planned agenda).  They all kept up with the 'strict' schedule and they weren't TOO spoiled when we got home!
