It was definitely a lot different from what I had remebered it. The energy of the city is crazy and we walked around until 3 a.m. That was quite a feat considering my sister's body was three hours ahead of Vegas time and Kobi's and mine were two hours ahead of Vegas! By the time we got settled into bed Thursday morning our families were just about ready to get up and start their days.
And think about it - when you offer a limited menu I guess it's easy to keep the price low and the quality high. And can I just tell you, the shakes are to DIE for! And the fries, yum! And the burgers - oh yeah baby! Cooked fresh AFTER you order.
[How did I not get a photo of that great chocolate shake?]
The trip was amazing. We walked for hours and hours each day. We rode the Monorail that services The Strip to get from one end of The Strip to the other so we could explore the hotels/casinos. I did, however, happen to have a casualty. I lost my Juicy Couture Hollywood's (a.k.a. my sunglasses) on the monorail when I didn't put them in my bag and just set them on top while I was snapping photos and they must've fallen down the other side and I didn't realize it so when I got off the train and went to put them on I realized they were gone it was too late. Hopefully someone is enjoying them because I sure miss them. My new Betsey Johnson's, which I bought to replace my Juicy's, aren't quite cutting it like I had hoped they would. I may be on a mission for another pair shortly. I'll need to frequent the Nordstrom Rack (Nordstrom's outlet) to see if I can score something I am happier with.
We three girls had the most awesome time (it was an absolutely perfect trip despite the casualty) and although we got little sleep and were entirely exhausted by the time we got home the memories we made will be with us for a lifetime. And I cannot thank Kobi & Eric enough for this wonderful gift.
We returned and my family had some gifts for me and then we headed out to Campisi's for pizza with a couple other friends before we headed off to our class where we created a wonderful birthday memories scrapbook taught by the fabulous Janet Hopkins. And there were lots of wonderful cupcakes and little surprises from the girls at the class. I felt so special and lucky to be spoiled like that.
After returning from Vegas I had three more full days to spend with my sister and the kids were on spring break so it was nice just to hang out, do some shopping, play some video games, laugh and talk and enjoy the beautiful weather before we had to re-enter the real world.

I also got this wonderful bouquet of flowers from my Dad and step-mom. A total surprise and a wonderful bonus since they had already gifted me some cash that I will use on a rainy day.
All in all it was a wonderful month full of beautiful surprises, coffee with dear friends, a special visit from my sister (the most wonderful sister of all) and many, many other wonderful things like starting my photography class, The Photographers' Workshop with Karen Russell that I have been so excited about. My photos will definitely be better by the end of this 10-week period and I am happy to say that I will also know a lot more about my camera.
