Las Vegas is an amazing place, but definitely only a place to visit once every few years and you don't need to stay longer than 2 -3 days. Annie & I rolled in Thursday night and stayed with our couch surfer. We had a relatively low key evening, watched the Cardinals win the world series. Vanessa & Linda came in Friday around noon so Annie and I found this timeshare that they would give us practically free tickets to a Cirque du Soleil show for going to their 3 hour sales pitch in the morning. We didn't buy a timeshare, but they did a pretty good job almost convincing us. We got our vouchers to the show and stopped at the MGM to pick up the tickets before meeting the girls at our hotel. I jumped out of the car to run in while Annie found a place to park... my phone was left in the car though and Annie & I couldn't find each other. I found the phone bank in the MGM, but didn't know Annie's number. (terrible I don't know anyone's phone #). I did know mom's number so I called her and told her to call Annie and meet me at the theater entrance. 
All was good though, we got the tickets and made it to the Holiday Inn and met Vanessa and Linda. They both flew in from Atlanta. We had a few mixed drinks there in the hotel and caught up on each others lives then went to the MGM (my favorite Casino) to watch the show. The show was amazing the tricks and flips gravity defying acts and all types of craziness.
The rest of the weekend was obviously a blast. I doubled my gambling money all weekend. I bet 20 on the Steelers to beat the Patriots and they were underdogs and they dominated the Pats. Left with $42 in winnings :) Annie did a few slots, and shot some craps with other peoples money. We walked around the strip, watched some football, went to some clubs, lived it up and did Vegas. It was Halloween weekend, we didn't dress up but we had a great time people watching. There were some hilarious and amazing costumes. We had a blast that weekend and it wasn't enough time to spend with Vanessa and Linda, but it was enough time in Vegas.
