This year we got to celebrate our 20 years anniversary. With our anniversary being July 2nd it is always right around the 4th celebration here so things are crazy. Most years sadly we don't do much to celebrate because of the crazy time of year. With it being 20 years we knew we needed to do something fun! I found a free 3 night 4 day stay at Tahiti Village right down from the strip so we decided since it was free we would make a trip with it - we just had to sit through their sales presentation but for a free trip we would do it .
I have been to Vegas a couple quick times and Bruce has only been years ago to get his endowments in the temple because the Mesa Temple was closed. I didn't get any other pictures of our room except this of the bed. It was a pretty nice 5 star resort.
The resort had a shuttle that went to the strip to drop you off. It was super nice because we didn't have to drive anywhere.
The first night there we walked one way 2 plus miles down by the Stratosphere looking for the M&M store. We obviously turned the wrong way once we got off the shuttle. It ended fine so we could see that end of things. The one problem was it was HOT like 105 degrees hot. Which made some warm walking seeing that was mostly what we did.
It is just amazing the wickedly but beautiful casinos. We got home and explained how there is the yucky casino part of those but they are also big and huge and beautiful.
Trying to like the giant lollipop!
That first night we were super hungry but didn't really know where to stop and eat that was cheap enough and good etc. About 8:30 that night we were walking past the worlds biggest mall and I told Bruce they ha to have a food court in there so we could eat there. I got a super yummy wrap and Bruce got some Chinese food with a delicious grapefruit mango tapioca drink. Good stop!! We ended it with dessert with a big yummy crepe with ice cream in it.
The next day showered and ready to head out. We had tickets to a Variety Show this day. We were just going to go for a little bit and pick up our tickets and go back to our room for a little while.
Well we found too much to do and didn't make it back until about 11 that night. Had a blast in the M&M store.
We are ready to watch the show in the M&M Store about red loosing his m.
Bruce had to check out the cool car!
This is inside Planet Hollywood. It was so neat how it was inside but had an outside feel to it.
The Bellagio was of course amazing and beautiful. We knew we had to go back at night and watch the water show.
In the V Theater eating for our show. We loved it and Wally Eastwood was great!
It was our last night there and we decided we wanted some gelato. We hadn't ever had it before. We walked right past a shop with it in Caesars Palace and decided to walk back the extra might to go back and get some. It was way too expensive! We were going to share but there were too many kinds to try so we each had to get one. It was delicious!!
We were going to go to the temple while we were there. We called them to see what time ceilings were and found out they were close for two weeks. So on our way out of town we just stop by to take some pictures but we were pretty bummed that we couldn't go inside. It was beautiful!
It was a great trip! We had so much fun and loved every minute we got to spend together!! The kids even survived at home with our us!
