OUR TRIP TO VEGAS!

We went to Las Vegas this past weekend and had so much fun. We decided to go see KA, by Cirque du Soleil at the MGM Grand and it was amazing. It was the first time either of us had been to a show in Vegas. The last time we went to Vegas together was in November of 2005 when we got engaged. Needless to say it was much needed and a blast! We left Thursday night and stayed in St. George, UT at my friend Tanya's, she just had a baby so it was a lot of fun to see them. Then Friday we drove the rest of the way to Vegas and we checked into the MGM. It was a really cool room, it had a TV in the bathroom mirror, these crazy glass doors that opened up to reveal the toilet on the left side and the shower on the right, and the bed was so comfortable I honestly didn't want to leave. Too bad check out comes so early! Anyhow, Saturday night we stayed at my friend Mindy's house. We had a lot of fun just relaxing and doing some shopping. Well, sorry this blog is so long. Here's some pictures!

This is the ceiling at the Bellagio.
This is a video of the gardens they have at the Bellagio. They change it every season and it is unbelievable the amount of work that must go into it. Every time I've been there it looks ENTIRELY different. This video is mostly of the water jumping around but at one point I pan over to where Shay proposed to me. I had never seen the inside of the Bellagio so he took me there after he took me on a Gondola ride at the Venetian. We were just looking around and he said, "What's that over there?" So I turned and looked and he had the ring in the box open behind me. Then he got on his knee and asked me to marry him. Then we hugged and he put the ring on my finger and everyone that was watching clapped and cheered. It was so cute! It was fun to see the area again. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bresWtNSqu4
This is a picture of Shay standing by a car that was on display at the Bellagio.

Me in front of the landscape at the Wynn. That is a BEAUTIFUL hotel.

Shay in front of the Wynn waterfalls.
Sleepy Lions at the MGM. I think it's neat that we can see such exotic creatures so close, but I feel like they are asleep all the time! Could it be they are depressed from the captivity? Shay standing by the Sphinx at the Luxor. He was hoping to run into Criss Angel. No luck!See, he loves Criss Angel... this is one of his motorcycles on display.Here's a video of our hotel room at the MGM. It was so cool. Very "modern. "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgvOIRZICKE

Hope you enjoyed! Love ya much! Destiny

Glad you had fun! It's interesting to see Las Vegas from a tourist's point of view after living there for so long. Your room looked very cool! How cute that Shay proposed to you in the Bellagio gardens. Ed and I had our very first date at Olives in the Bellagio and then our 1 year dating anniversary dinner at Le Cirque there - fond memories of that place!

I've never had that much fun in Vegas. So copying your ideas of what to do while there. Maybe I'll call and chat about what to do before we go...whenever that is!
