Viva Las Vegas!

Thanks to my sister, Maggie, Trent & I were able to enjoy a much needed weekend getaway! We headed up to Las Vegas to see some shows and hang out with friends. Here's what the weekend consisted of:

• We attended a Collective Soul concert with our friends, Barry & Alisa. The concert was Collective Soul's first ever acoustic gig! We weren't sure what to expect, but it was awesome. They stayed acoustic for the bulk of the evening and then plugged in the electric guitar for a kind of hybrid-acoustic sound to round the show out. It was a great sound and we hope they do more shows like this.
• We saw some of the Bellagio water shows.
• We went shopping.
• We enjoyed the hotels spring flowers and decor.
• We went to one of Vegas' fabulous all you can eat buffet's.
• We went to the M&M factory and Coca Cola store.
  
• We saw cirque du soleil perform O. It was truly a masterpiece. You could tell that they went to every extreme from costumes, choreography, set design, lighting, stunts, acrobatics and music. It was just amazing, a bit random at times, but I suppose that's the beauty of cirque du soleil. We can't wait to see another one!
• You might be thinking something is missing from our list, something that Las Vegas is famous for...GAMBLING. Well, we're not big gamblers, it's actually a pretty silly way to spend ones time. That being said, we did spend about $7 total and ended up winning $50 ($30 for Trent and $20 for me). We quickly cashed out our prize and congratulated ourselves on earning a little gas money!
