Vegas Getaway...

Early on Monday Mimi and I hit the road for a couple days in Vegas... we have both been totally bogged down at work and needed some time off... We got a nice room at the Luxor and made no plans, except to drink, relax, and eat...

I whipped up a quick breakfast of hash browns and toast before we left... apparently the eggs had expired... opps!

When we got into town we were famished so we stopped off at the cafe in the Luxor for a delightful chocolate mousse and a turkey sandwich...

The weather was beautiful... clear and hot, about 104 degrees! After our lunch we hit the pool and laid in the sun for the rest of the day... the water was so cool and refreshing so we got into a cycle of sunbathing and dipping in the pool...

After we were nice and crispy we got showered and changed. We headed down to the casino for a little gambling and a nice dinner...

The next day we hit the pool early, but this time decided to go for a cabana instead... they were much nicer padded chairs with umbrellas to block the harsh sun... it was a much more enjoyable experience...

We got our drink on and really had a nice time watching the people go by, reading our books, and chatting...
of course we had to take breaks to dip in the pool... it was cooler at 100 degrees this day...
we rounded out the day with multiple trips to the all you can eat, all day long buffet and some relaxing in the room...
The next morning it was time to pack up and get ready to go, so we decided to check out the new Aria resort before leaving town... it was huge and very modern...

They had an upscale dessert bar just off the casino and we couldn't resist stopping for a treat...
we indulged in the "Opera" which was complete with gold leafing on the top... it was truly an amazing dessert...

We hit the road for home with a nice tan and a totally relaxed spirit... it was a great little getaway...
