Weekend Trip To Vegas

I surprised Dave with tickets to Las Vegas for his birthday. We went last weekend and had a great time. It was much needed time together. Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for watching David. Here are some pictures from our trip.




We stayed at the Palazzo, which is the newest hotel on the strip. The hotels in Vegas just amaze me. We arrived Friday around noon and spent the afternoon viewing the hotel and laying out at the pool. Of course, there was a little gambling involved too. These are some pictures of our hotel/room. It was alot of space for two people, but REALLY nice.

Friday night we had reservations at SushiSamba. The sushi was amazing! Dave is not much of a fan, but was a great trooper. After dinner we went over to the Wynn and spent our evening at the roulette tables. We ended up winning quite a bit while there!



Saturday morning was a little rough, but we pushed through. The Longhorns vs. Arkansas game was on at 12:30
PM and we had to get to the hotel Sportsbook early to get one of these swanky lounge areas to watch the game. I have never seen a sports bar quite like this one. They had individual lounge areas with couches/pillows and your own TV so that you could watch your game of choice. We were bad fans and stopped watching the game early so that we could go see some of the other hotels. There ended up not being as much time as we would have liked, but we were able to gamble a little at Caesars and do some sight seeing on the Strip.

Saturday night we had reservations at Cut, Wolfgang Puck's new steakhouse. We decided we would rather spend our money on a really nice dinner instead of a Las Vegas show and boy was it worth it! I had the American Wagyu "Kobe Style" Filet Mignon and Dave had the Tasting of New York Sirloin, which was 3 different types of Japanese/American "Kobe Style" Sirloins. Let me tell you it was to die for. I have never tasted steak so good. I would highly recommend dinning here while in Vegas. I am a little disappointed because I did not get a picture of us out and about on Saturday night; the table set up at Cut was not conducive for photography so the picture from the website will have to do.

Thanks for the message Jen! Be careful with those trips to Vegas! What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas as my belly shows. :)
