what happens in vegas, stays in vegas


Last weekend, Chris and I drove up to Vegas to have some fun with his family! It was a blast! We left Friday afternoon with Chris' sister, Abby, and her friend, Carly. Road trips are a blast! We were literally singing Disney songs all the way to Saint George. We decided to spend Friday night in St. George at Carly's Grandma's condo since the rest of the Guinn family will not be in Vegas until Saturday. We ate dinner at Cracker Barrel in St. George and slept in late on Saturday. 

Then we headed up to Vegas! On our way, we stopped at the Pawn shop that is on the show, Pawn Starz. I literally watch that show everyday. Chris and I do no thave many channels, so I don't have many options. I love the guys on the show though! The line was really long to get in the store. And the guys were not even inside! I was bummed, but at least I got a picture. Later, we pulled into the Venetian Hotel and got some lunch at some super classy cafe in the mall, by the gondolas. Then we met up with the rest of the fam. We checked into our hotel room and got ready for the "O" show! I was so excited for this show! We walked over to the Bellagio, got some dinner, and went to the show! "O" my gosh! It was amazing! Like seriously blew my mind! They did the coolest dives, jumps, acrobats, contortionists ever! I've never seen a show like this before. Afterwards, we watched the Bellagio water show. Super cool. Then we headed back tot he hotel. While everyone went to sleep, Chris, Jack, and I headed down to the Casino! Woot woot! Chris and I did not want to spend our actual money, so we found some change in our pockets and decided to hit up the slot machines. After two pulls, Jack won $100 from 50 cents. What?! Chris and I lost all of our money. Of course. So Jack gave us $15 and we played some war and back jack. Jack got all the way up to $350! WHAT?! And Chris and I won some and lost some, and stayed at $15. We are just not lucky.

Sunday, we slept in a bit, had some breakfast, saw Dan from Gossip Girl (Penn Badgley), took a nap, layed out by the pool, went to MGM, sampled Coke from different countries, watched a super cool movie at the M&M factory, then got ready for the Beatles Love show. We had dinner at Benihana's before. It was soooo good. Then the show was amazing! I loved listening to all of the songs and getting into the story behind the music. The show was super cool and really fun! Gosh, cirque du soleil is the best!

Monday, I can't really remember what we did, but it was awesome none the least. I may or may not have been mixing up all of our activities this weekend. That's just what happens in Vegas. Oh yea, and Chris and I lost our $15 that Jack gave us. And Jack lost all of his $350 that he won. Even though none of us lost money that was actually ours to begin with, it was still a bummer.

{Also, check out Chris' mustache! Does he not look like a total pedophile?}
