We survived Vegas

I'm back in WI.  Tan, tired, and broke.  Sounds like a good time to work on some free house projects, right?  I thought so.  That is what we'll be doing all weekend, and I will hopefully be catching up with my favorite blogs as well.  I took next to no photos on this trip, lame for a blogger, I know.  I did snap a couple shots of our 'GO' room at the Flamingo, it was pretty rad.
I loved the hot pink accents and that groovy white vinyl headboard!  The bathrooms have tv's in the mirror.  I watched Friends while I was getting ready one day - the one where Ross and Rachel get the hot nanny 'Molly' - in case you were wondering.....
Our room overlooked the Bellagio fountain show, so that was pretty awesome.  However, we were underwhelmed by the strip attractions, I can't say anything really stood out. We went to the VooDoo lounge on top of the Rio for the awesome views, unfortunately the vodka tonic I got tasted like the bartender made it with dishwater.  And it was $10.  Wah Wah. 
This is before I actually tried the drink. 
I think Shaun's was better than mine.  Or maybe he has lower standards.
At least we got to look at this for awhile.  The view, not the dudes on the stairs.  We did not get one photo of the two of us over the entire trip.  Bummer.  But we got some neat individual shots using the 'nighttime' shooting mode on the Rebel.  Without even trying, the lights created some awesome effects. 
Cool, huh?  I thought so.

  12. Welcome back to reality! Vegas is fun for awhile, but it gets to be overwhelming when you think about how much money is thrown around there. I've been to the VooDoo Lounge as well, doesn't it make you feel like a rock star when you're up there?? I did, anyway. :) Sorry to hear about the over-priced, underwhelming drink!
