A Weekend in Las Vegas

Last weekend, Rob and I headed to Las Vegas on a three-fold mission. First, so Rob could take the Utah Real Estate exam to become a licensed realtor, which he passed!!! All that studying paid off - Congrats!

Secondly, we celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary. We stayed at the Monte Carlo, explored all the hotels on the strip, enjoyed many fine restaurants and took in the Frank Caliendo show, which was hilarious. We really liked the various types of architecture, gardens, pools, and hotel decors. Some of our favorites were the sheer enormity of Caesars Palace, the grandeur of the Bellagio Fountains and the pools at the Flamingo. Overall, it was a fun place to visit and explore but I'm not so sure I would take my kids there.

"Hmm, maybe this is how people make TWO house payments!?"
Elvis is still alive and kicking in Sin City!

Inside the new Planet Hollywood hotel. Looks more
like outside, huh?



Last, but not least, we picked up Kaylyn at the Las Vegas airport Sunday night, where she flew in from Spokane for the holidays. After stopping by the strip for a few minutes to show her the Bellagio Fountains, we headed home to St. George and the rest of the family. Lexi arrived home Saturday night from Provo so we are now all together again! From our family to yours, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
