Vegas Baby...Sometimes you just need to get away!

Actually, this trip was planned well before I even considered applying for the job in Alaska.  Nonetheless, it is always fun to get away and meet up with old friends!  It was Jonete's birthday and we decided to meet up in Las Vegas, NV for an extended weekend.  I had never been there before and it sure turned out to be quite an adventure!

We did plenty of gambling, walking around, eating and even took in a Cirque du Soleil show called MYSTERE.  I'd probably have to say my favorite was hanging out at Gilley's, a country bar inside Treasure Island.  We had a few drinks and watched some crazy people attempt to ride the mechanical bull.

As far as gambling goes, I probably came out pretty even.  I'm not a huge risk taker and hate losing money.  I won $150 the first day and that kept me playing the rest of the weekend.  Saw lots of great sites including the Bellagio's fountains, a cool bar in the Mirage and plenty of casinos!

Having never been to Vegas before, I wasn't sure what to expect.  There is honestly so much to do!  I will need to start saving my pennies for another trip!
