Hey, I Just Met You... : Las Vegas 2012

Hello everyone!

We just got back from Las Vegas, NV tonight and it was my first time going. What an amazing experience. Anyways so on Friday morning we went on a helicopter tour to the Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon. It was INCREDIBLE! I have seen a lot, but that was breathtaking. I was a little bit nervous because it was also my first helicopter ride but it was totally worth it. Towards the end I felt a little nauseous but nothing too horrible. When we got back we spent the day on the strip and walked all the way from our hotel the MGM Grand to Treasure Island. We went shopping, met fake "Alan and Carlos" from "The Hangover", saw The Venetian's incredible ceilings, went to the Planet Hollywood Casino (home of my favorite movie "What Happens In Vegas" with Cameron Diaz), walked past Treasure Island (which doesn't have the sinking pirate show that you see in "Miss Congeniality 2" anymore :( ), saw the Kardashian Khaos store, Caesar's Palace (home of "The Hangover"), and the stunning Bellagio Fountains. So awesome. So after about five miles of walking on the strip and through malls and hotels we were exhausted.

 


 

The second morning my mom had to present at a conference but my cousin and I went down the strip doing "lyric dares" which are something Ellen DeGeneres came up with for her writer Amy. It was hilarious (see YouTube link to video below). That night we saw David Copperfield's show at the MGM Grand. While some reviews said it was obviously fake I found it AMAZING and nothing less than a great time. I highly recommend people to go see it. Next I wanted to do a slot machine (just once) so we went to the penny slots and I got to pull the lever like three times before security came asking for my ID. Fail. But it was still fun. The last thing we did were Ellen's Dance Dares and it was hilarious (also on the YouTube video). Even my mom joined us for these. Superrr hilarious. Anyways it was such a good experience and was fun to have a girls weekend with my cousin and mom. Hope you enjoy the pictures and video!
