Las Vegas Once Again!

The Hubby and I just made our 8th trip to Las Vegas! Our favorite place to vacation. Baby Girl got to stay with her Mimi and Pappy while we were gone.

We had a great trip filled with food, fun, and plenty of gambling. We didn't hit it big, but it was a great vacation of spending quality time with the Hubby.


We stayed 3 nights at the Rio. The Rio is just off the Strip. We like staying here because it's not near as busy as being on the Strip. 


The Rio recently added a KISS themed putt-putt golf course. We played and it was fun, but I am horrible! 

September is a huge month for us. We both had big birthdays (3-0... let's not talk about that) and our anniversary. So we both decided instead of buying gifts we would do something fun in Vegas. We decided to see a show and we picked Absinthe. 

It is SO worth the money. If you get offended by ANYTHING, please do not see it. It is acrobatics mixed with crude comedy. We had a great time! We saw this show when it first opened back in 2011 and we still loved it.


While we were waiting for the doors to open, the Hubby had a huge hit on a KISS machine. It's probably because we had played KISS putt-putt earlier. Who knows?!?

Here are some pictures from us visiting the Strip.






We rented a car while in Vegas, so that we could make a day trip to Laughlin, Nevada. It's about 1 1/2 hours from Vegas. It is right on the Colorado River between Nevada and Arizona. 




We did a river tour while there, it was a nice break from the hustle and bustle of Vegas for the day. 

We also got 5 more $1 chips from the casinos there. The Hubby and I started collecting $1 chips from every casino we have visited. We have about 100 of them now. I did have to buy some flip flops from one of the gift shops in Laughlin because my sandal broke while we were walking! 

We stayed at the Golden Nugget in Downtown Las Vegas for two nights. We love the Downtown area. It's just so much more relaxed. The Golden Nugget has an awesome pool. We were able to do the water slide that goes through the shark tank. It was fun but cold! 


We had a great trip together. It's always nice to spend some one on one quality time together. It's easy to get caught up in the day to day things with parenting, work, coaching, and being busy and it's easy to forget why you do those things. It's all because two people fell in love and decided to create a life and family together. It's easy to loose sight of those things, but quality time together brings everything back into perspective!

Until next time Las Vegas!
