Las Vegas & St. George 2011

On June 1st John and I headed to Las Vegas for a much needed break away from work and school. We had so much fun! Our first day consisted of a lot of driving, but finally around three we arrived to our hotel. We stayed at the new City Center Vdara on the strip, which I would highly recommend! We were definitely spoiled with our room. Everything was so modern with touch screens. We loved it!

That night we ate at The CheeseCake Factory. Dinner was delicious and dessert was even better :) After dinner we headed over to Phantom of the Opera. The show was amazing and something else I would most definitely recommend it.


Thursday we got up and headed off the strip. There is a place called Buffalo Wild Wings that is a must when we visit Vegas. They have them all over the east coast, including Maryland. (Which is why my husband likes this place so much! It must remind him of his mission) We also visited one of the coolest malls off the strip. It’s all outdoors and they have every store you can think of. For dinner we ate at Lawry’s Prime Rib and Steak House and then headed over to see Beatles LOVE. I LOVED it! The music was great! It was so fun to sing a long and enjoy the show.

Friday, we met Brandon, Jessica, Carol, and Brian in Mesquite for some game playing (Yes we did play the slots) and also to enjoy a delicious buffet. We finished the night by driving back to St. George and taking a dip in the pool!

Saturday, we did a session at the St. George Temple, went shopping, and saw Little Mermaid at Tuacahn Theater. The show was way cute and the special effects they added were awesome! I love Tuacahn Theater and look forward to going every year. Hopefully next year we can make it down for Wizard of Oz.

I had so much fun spending time with my husband and the Huston’s. It was a great way to kick off our summer activities.

John and I definitely missed Charlie while we were gone, but he had himself a fun- filled week with my parents.

**Compliments of Dana & Eric Rollins (John's Cousin's)- We saw them while shopping at the outlets in St. George. Dana is preggers and due soo soon!!! Can't wait to meet baby #3!!! It's a little boy :) **
