My Little Piece of Heaven: Viva Las Vegas!

Douglas and I went for a little "romantic getaway" this last weekend. We went to Vegas but we're not into gambling so we weren't sure there would be anything for us to do but we were plenty busy! Our first night there we drove up to see the Hoover Dam, which was totally my hubby's idea because he loves that kind of thing. It was big and impressive but the water level was really low, which was interesting. When we were done there we went and drove down the famous "strip" to see the lights and see where everything was. We walked around a little bit but we were tired so we just went back to the hotel for an evening swim and some sleep.
We got up and going the next morning but my hubby, who is a total sucker for salespeople, signed us up to go to a 2-3 hour timeshare presentation because they were going to give us free tickets to the Lion King show that night. I tried to warn him but it didn't work. FIVE hours later we were finally done, I was completely ticked off, but we did have our Lion King tickets, $40 in cash, free lunch, and $50 to spend at Mandalay Bay so I guess it was okay in the end. There's not much to do in the morning anyway so we didn't miss out on much. The rest of the time we pretty much just walked around and shopped.
The Lion King show was totally AMAZING!!! We were going to buy tickets anyways because I really wanted to see it and I'm glad we finally got a chance to see it. Douglas even liked it and he's not a big musical type of person. Douglas said one of his favorite things there is the fountain shows in front of the Bellagio hotel. They are pretty cool to watch. We had a lot of fun and it was good to get a break from the kids and just focus on us for a few days. That's the longest we have ever left them, which is kind of sad, but at least we did it! Next time I think we'll go on a cruise though...
By the way, we forgot to take our camera (I know, we're idiots) so we took a few pics with my phone but they're not the greatest quality.
