Viva Las Vegas!











Vegas was a blast! I just had to help my "Twinnie" celebrate her 30th birthday in style, so despite my apprehensions about being in such close proximity to the "X," I went anyway. I am so glad I did, because it was by far one of the best vacations. Given my slightly schroog-ish ways, Her birthday came at the perfect time (12-26)! We actually left town on Christmas, well we were supposed to leave on Christmas, but ended up grounded on the plane for three hours do to weather and eventually rang in her b-day in the air.

We stayed in a Suite at the Palms, I loved it, I will definitely stay there again. It had everything we needed including a movie theater. I won $180 at craps! And you can't beat having three great clubs to pick from, just an elevator ride away from our fully stocked, private, birthday bash bar.

I had so much fun getting lost with Jimmy, trying to find an obscure cupcake joint. Thank Goodness we found the place "before we hit the mountains." I would have hated going back to the hotel without those FABULOUS Pink Coconut Cupcakes.

Friday night we all got dressed up, rented a limo, and went out on the town. We had dinner at CUT, a steakhouse at the Venetian. It was a dining experience I wont soon forget. I fell in love with my new favorite bottle of Champy...Dante Rivetti's Muscato d'asti...mmmm!!!! so good. We even took the limo around Vegas to pick up Jimmy's friends from Boston and Nissa's cousin Justin from the airport.

Saturday we played on the strip. I had some fun girlie time with Nissa at the Forum Mall. The boys found drinks so big they required a neck strap and poor Jimmy stayed at the hotel and slept since he came back down with Strep Throat.
That night we had a blast hitting Club Moon, The Playboy Club, and Club Rain. They were all such different experiences, but all apart of the Vegas Experience. Its amazing how in Vegas, staying out until 3:30 A.M. is nothing, it was easy. I loved getting dressed up! I loved the escape that Vegas is and I didn't go to jail, get married, or punch a certain someone in the nose! I can't wait to go again and live the life of a rockstar for another couple days.
