Viva Las Vegas!
I got back a little after midnight from my weekend in Vegas. Lots and lots of fun =-). And, as is appropriate for weekends in Vegas, some of what happened there has to stay there....hehe =-p. Well, I do suppose I have the pictures - hehehe. I was there for my dear friends wedding, and Friday night was the bachelorette party. YEEHAW!! Good & hilarious times were had by all =-). We had a wonderful tour of the Gardens and the Bachelorette had more fun then she can remember.
The wedding was Saturday and all went well as everyone said their "I Do's" just like they were supposed to =-). The guy who conducted the ceremony was a bit cheeseball, but oh well. We had an Elvis appear at our reception =-). He was too skinny for his costume though so his belt kept falling off =-p.
Saturday night turned into Sunday morning and we strolled back into our hotel around 6 a.m. There was one thing about this weekend that made me sad though. My last Vegas trip was 3 years ago, and there has been a major change since then. The major casinos no longer let you feed coins into the slots - you have to insert dollars, and when you win there's no joyful noise from the coins dropping into the slot tray, but just a printed piece of paper for you to take to the cashier =-(. I really liked feeding the coins....some of the magic is gone now =-(.
But my weekend is over and now I have yet another friend married and another great Vegas weekend under my belt =-).

A lot of people have told me that Vegas is now different. My boss' last visit to Vegas was back in 1997. When she went to Vegas for business this year, she told me that it has now changed. My friend, Penni went to Vegas last year and she had the same comment.
That was one wild weekend..... ;)
Yes - Vegas is an ever-changing landscape. I would imagine that it is considered a dream location for construction workers, electricians and such. There's always something new in the works.
And seeing as it is the "City of Sin," that makes it a dream location for other people - hehe =-).
