Minus5
Almost forgot about going to Minus5! It was an icebar that we saw on the travel channel. It was pretty much a big freezer where everything was made of ice. Definitely cool place to check out but I don't think we'd pay the money to do it again. $35 and you get a coat and gloves to wear and 2 drinks.. and then you stay for as long as you want. ..No pictures to share because they weren't allowed :(
Day 4- Last day in Vegas
Thursday we had to get up and out of the room by 11 which wasn't a problem because we'd been up early every day. Thursday was also my worst day possible in casinos! ..of course because I had no time to win it back!! I did well on the Roulette table early at Paris and then nothing after that. Bill did do good though! Then we headed to the Mirage to get tickets for Love, which we ended up getting for half price because the guy gave us tickets for the wrong time originally. Love was amazing!! I now know why Bill wanted to see it again.
After the show we had to get our bags and head straight to the airport. The flight left at midnight and headed to JFK. I woke up with about an hour left to JFK and was sooo hot and didn't feel well at all! When we finally landed at JFK (about 7am) I spent a good amount of time in the bathroom (YUCK!) Then our flight was delayed... then cancelled because of the snow in Buffalo. Finally we made it out of JFK at 2pm and headed for home. By this time my stomach was also feeling better... Thank GOD! We reached Buffalo at about 3 and headed for home. Along the way we saw 8+ tractor trailers off the road in ditches! Which didn't make me feel good about Bill driving after such a long day. But we made it home safe and sound at about 10.
Overall, Vegas was amazing! Definitely somewhere I'd like to go to again.

Vegas- Day 3
Wednesday we did some gambling in the morning and then checked out the Eiffel Tower. It was really cool to see the city from so high.
Later that night we decided to stop at the pawn shop from tv on our way to Fremont st. While we were there the guys from American Pickers stopped in. Since they were there Rick from Pawn Stars came out (not allowed to take pics of him).
Then we were off to Fremont st! Once it gets dark out, once an hour all the casino lights shut off and there is a light show on the ceiling above the casinos. I'd definitely like to check it out again when we have more time!
Then finally we went to the Improv comedy show at Harrah's. Hilarious! I've gotta look up who the comedians were because I don't remember their names but they were both very good!

Vegas- Day 2
Tuesday we got an early start to the day. We spent most of the day in the shops at Caesars. This mall was enormous and inside was gorgeous. We also had lunch at Max Brenner's- which was delicious. They had an amazing dessert menu you that we had absolutey no room to try and of course didn't make it back there another time- so maybe next time we'll just go and have dessert!
Later Tuesday night we were able to catch the volcano at the Mirage and the Bellagio fountains. The volcano was pretty cool and the fountains were very pretty.
From there we did some more tourist type stuff- including M&M world! :)
This night we tried to do some gambling in some casinos that weren't right near ours since we were out walking anyways. At Mandalay Bay I mangaged to win $200 on a wheel of fortune slot machine that had a huge wheel that spins when you get a bonus! Then another $200 on Roulette. Don't worry I would lose it all by the end of the trip lol.

Vegas- Day 1 Continued..
After traveling all day we finally made it to Vegas about 9pm (midnight here on the east coast). I was instantly in aww. We didn't really do a whole lot the first night. Grabbed some showers and food and did a little sight seeing and of course some gambling!

Viva Las Vegas!
Day 1: traveling
Because we thought the weather was going to be so awful we might not make it out of buffalo, we decided leaving way early was a good idea! So 6am we wake up and head out into what we thought would be a massive blizzard- Wrong!! Very happy that we didn't have to drive in a storm but not so happy about sitting at the airport for hours when we could have been sleeping! ...so now it is 2:14 and our flight was supposed to leave at 1:46. Where are we? Still in buffalo. Flight was pushed back to 3:09. Just what I wanted to do, sit in the airport even longer!!! They have also said that the flight is overbooked because of flights being cancelled Sunday. Ugh! If we don't get on this flight we also miss our connecting flight. Hopefully, well be in Vegas by the end of the night!!!
