Vegas Vacation

Sorry I have'nt updated in forever, but I have been busy relaxing poolside with a drink in hand at the MGM lazy river. I got back from Vegas yesterday. It was a great trip! So great in fact, that Nicole and I extended our stay for 2 extra days. We started out by flying out of the Burbank airport (1o min from my apartment). We each had our own entire row of seats on the plane ride there! Plus free tv & free snacks. If you can fly JetBlue...do it! It's a great airline.

We arrived at our hotel (The Tropicana) which is located on the northern end of the strip next to the MGM grand (where our friends were staying). We had a nice little room for a cheap price. That night, we met up with Adam (my roomate), his friend Jenn who travelled from PA, and Adam's brother and his wife. We went to a club called Tabu in the MGM and just enjoyed good drinks, good company, and lots of dancing. Nicole and I met some new Australian friends that night, and hung out with them for a lot of the trip. They were very fun!

Friday we went to a place in the MGM called "Wet Republic". It's a day-time club next to the pool. They played music, lots of dancing, lots of drinks, everyone is in their bathing suits. It was an all day event. Very fun! There was a surprise performace from the guy that sings that old song "The Humpty Dance". Ha...it was interesting.

On Saturday night, I attended the Britney Spears "Circus" concert. It was a blast. She didn't interact with the audience much, but she looked great and the effects/circus-esque performances of the show were really great. Nicole and I decided to stay in the night of the concert and catch up on our rest. So we went to dinner (split some chicken strips) and an hour later we both ended up with food poisening! It was awful. So, our night of rest turned into us fighting eachother for the bathroom the rest of the night. Not a pleasant thought, I'm sorry. We took it easy by the pool the next day and recovered.

We had a great time!! I flew back yesterday and landed in LAX. I talked to mom the day before, and I was picturing walking into a zoo of mask-wearing people! I only saw 4 people wearing masks in LAX, one lady had on a gas mask!!! It was hilarious!! I think this Swine Flu stuff is a little over-exaggerated, but that's just my opinion. We aren't really even talking about it at work, although I know the ED has been FLOODED with people bring their kids in at the first sign of a cold! Nothing in LA....yet.

I'll be home on Monday! I can't wait to see everyone! Especially my new nephew, Ethan!!!
