Las Vegas

I am heading to Las Vegas for a girls only weekend and there's only 15 days to go! I am so excited! I have been to Vegas before but the BF was there with me so I didn't get to see any banana hammocks, or even any titties (except my own)! I am going with my friends Stephanie, Jen, Kahlan and Charli. We are staying at the Monte Carlo hotel and we were able to get good prices since we booked early (try January!) It also didn't hurt that I only put 2 people in the room...we're not even supposed to have 5, but Charli isn't getting there until Thursday night anyway.

We will be going from July 3rd - July 7th. It was my idea to take this trip, as I wanted to be in Vegas for 07-07-07 - luck be a lady that night!! We are planning on doing quite a few things while we're there besides gambling. We bought a couple of different passes that supposedly make it cheaper to do things. One is the Vegas Powerpass which will allow us to go see Madam Tussauds Wax Museum, the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, go to the top of the Stratosphere and ride on some rollercoasters. I can't wait to see the wax museum and take my pic with George Clooney while wearing a wedding dress (the first one I will have ever tried on, I might add!) We also bought this other pass, called the Vegas Passport. It's supposed to get us into a lot of the popular clubs, cover included and VIP express lines. I hope to see some cute celebrity but I'm not going to hold my breath...

Other than that, we will be doing lots of lounging by the pool, eating (probably not so much for me) and TONS of drinking! I'm planning on getting a tattoo to cover up an old tattoo that I decided to give myself back in high school for whatever reason. I'm thinking about getting an eagle feather with a pink ribbon around part of it, to honor my grandmother (who had breast cancer but survived with no complications) and my aunt (who died from breast cancer this year). It will also honor any other woman in my family that might have to fight off this disease, specifically my mom, who will be getting a biopsy done on her breasts later in July. Cross your fingers that it all comes back okay!!

Anyways, back to VEGAS: All-in-all, I think it will be a good trip! I will post some pics and stories when we get back...in the meantime, the countdown has begun! 15 DAYS...
