Las Vegas Trip!

Grant and I are back now from our Vegas trip this past weekend and we had a blast. We drove down Friday afternoon and stayed with my grandmother in St. George for the night. The next morning we got up, ate breakfast and spent some time with my grandma, and then went over to my aunt and uncles house to see them for a bit. Around 11am we left for Vegas and got there before noon (because of the time change) and were able to check in early!

We stayed at the Mirage (thanks to my brother Brandon) our room was awesome! We were on the 23rd floor and our room looked out right over the strip.

I checked out the mini bar when we first got into the room and not only did they have drinks, snacks, and movies, but also a diamond-studded lollipop! Now that's classy.

Our room also gave us a great view for the Mirage's fire show.

When we got unpacked, we went out on the strip and got lunch at Chipotle (Grant's choice), walked around for a while, went shopping at the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace, and then went back to the room to get ready for the night.

We first went out to dinner at a really nice Italian restaurant called Dal Toro in the Palazzo (where our meals were really really delicious!) And then we went to the Cirque du Soleil "Mystere" show (thanks to my parents)! Dinner was so good, and the show was even better! I absolutely love Cirque shows, they are mesmerizing! Grant and I have seen three together ("O," "Ka," and now "Mystere") and all three have been amazing. We always try to figure out which one is our favorite but it's impossible. They are all incredible.

In our seats before the show started.

One of the characters in the show who walked around the theatre before the performance began throwing popcorn at random people, tearing up tickets, and walking through the rows of seats just to make people get up haha.

In the last scene of the show I sneaked a picture.

Then the next morning we woke up early, packed, and checked out :( I was so sad to leave. The weather the entire time was about 67-70 degrees with the sun shining. It was so nice! I wanted to stay longer just to walk around to enjoy the weather -- but instead we had to come back to cold Provo. I hope spring comes early this year...

On our drive back to Provo we stopped for gas and lunch. We didn't have many options so we just got treats at the gas station. We might have gotten a little carried away. So much so that the gas station attendant who was at the cash register said goodbye to us with "Enjoy your diabetes!" hahahaha 

Good weekend :)
