It was an easy going drive & I started a new book from Meg Johnson. If you have not heard of her you need to look her up on Deseret Book, Facebook or YouTube.
Before we took off I took a photo of us all in the Van. We were so happy & ready to start this trip!
We stopped in Beaver & ate Subway for lunch! Yummy I know.
Once we got to Vegas we checked into our hotel & went out to eat at a nearby Chilis!
We stayed at the Plaza hotel! I liked this black and white picture of it! It's sweet isn't it! Plus the cool sink, it's different & unique! Therefore, I like it!
I snapped a few pics from the view of our hotel! It was so pretty & better yet we got here before it was completely dark.
Carli & Dan stayed at the hotel and the four of us went to the strip! Yay!
I had never done it before. I have heard how crazy it is & nasty. But for the most part it didn't seem so scary. It may be because it's winter & a Sunday night. But I wasn't too shocked by it. Of course the cigarette smoke gives you a headache instantly!
We found this first. Statue Of Liberty made out of Jelly Bellys! Wow! Isn't it so cool!
Steve & Janae were our tour guides! I wanted to do the M&M World & Coca Cola.
It's hard to decide what one to talk about first because I love chocolate & Coke.
Okay the M&M World was awesome the crazy amount of chocolate inside, shirts, bags, plates, toys. Oh and 4 floors. Wow!
We were looking around and wanted to see the show they play but it was done for the day. But I have something even better to tell you.
PS. This is only half the wall of M&Ms
Janae & Steve had made it to a floor above us. As we came up they were waiting for us like usual! Then Steve moved and there was an M&M standing there with his little Elf hat. I freaked out!
Not your average happy smile. I was happier than any of the kids in that store. I even jumped up and down clapping.
I think he caught on how happy I was he even hugged me! Ahhhh!!! Chocolate Hugs. Woo!
We snapped a few pictures with him & after we did I started like prancing away. Still completely on cloud 900!!! Yup. that high. I turned around because I could hear people laughing the M&M was following me and dancing like me! It was awesomeness!
This was before my dreams of hugging a cute Elf M&M came true!
Oh and then nothing better than hanging out with some stars....
Okay onto Coke!!! Ahh! So many amazing things. My expectations were met once again.
I have loved Coke for quite sometime now. I don't remember having it until college & ever since it's just apart of my
life.
Here I am just happy to see all the cool things inside. I turn around and walk in to the store & boom! At the famous green screen is the Polar Bear. What!!! I flipped. I ran up there and had to get my picture taken.
Well I wish I would have known to have Kelly take some too because it's not cheap to buy the photos that they take with you and the bear. But after the lady took one with my phone she did 3 more. One the bear was leaning down & eating my head.
The one that was my favorite is I picked the pose! I started to blow a kiss and at first the Coke bear wanted me to do something else. But then he changed his mind. And did MY POSE!!!
Okay, I shouldn't be so excited but just thinking about it makes me smile. He did what I was doing! I felt like I had approval! Even the girls taking the pictures thought it was a cute one & kept saying good job bear.
Okay are you ready to see it... Drumroll!!!
They had some great trivia things inside the store, old vintage logos, tables and old antiques for sale.
If I could have something in my house that could just have Coke things I would love it. They have some of the coolest stuff. I really like the shirts they had especially one in particular.
Isn't that so cool!!! They had tons of different ones for different countries.
We started walking & saw this guy! He spray paints these amazing pictures. He had different characters from shows and scenes of Vegas. He paints them all with spray paint! It was so neat! He would use a metal can to get the perfect affect or a piece of paper rolled into a tunnel.
This was another thing I would of bought. I think it's so cool to have art like that in your house. It's original and to see them do it in front of you is just ridiculously cool!
This was another thing I would of bought. I think it's so cool to have art like that in your house. It's original and to see them do it in front of you is just ridiculously cool! This was one of many pictures they had out for sale. I love the detail they have and it's just spray paint.
Next was Paris. It was so cool the mini Eiffel Tower. I loved it! It was so fun. They have so much detail into this small street.
I don't remember what hotel we were cutting through but they had these amazing draped crystal strands and I looked down over a balcony & there was this BEAUTIFUL, SPARKLY, RHINESTONED Curella De Vil car. I once again got so excited. We walked down and had to take some pictures of it.
Okay I love blingy things but now that you can have a car with bling all over it!! I think I just died and went to Rhinestone Heaven!
Then we went to the Bellagio for the water show. Wow oh wow. I recorded the whole thing. They are amazing.
Plus look at this cute adorable hunky husband! Man I love him!
Next was Ceasars Palace. I loved the inside of this one. It was like you were strolling the streets of a different country. We didn't get to see the moving statues since it was down. But it was still awesome to see these stores that I dream about! Like Versace, Coach, Fendi, Gucci, Louis Vuitton!
This is inside Ceasers. It was so cool!
Also they had a H&M that was huge. We didn't go inside it but it was glitzy and I was in heaven looking at it. I mean who doesn't love these glitzy balls?
Well, it was quite the night! We ended up getting a cab to take us back to where we parked since Janae still isn't totally back up & going from having the Flu! But it was fun to experience it with such great tour guides.
I did realize one thing though, just because I don't have a Louis Vuitton shoes or a Fendi bag! I am so grateful for the parents I had who raised me the way they did. I saw so many people who were completely lost in life! I feel so bad for them and that they probably deep down aren't happy! I am so glad I have the gospel and the way it has directed my life.
Well, we have another 6 hour trip ahead of us to get us to Long Beach! It will be awesome! I am pumped but at the same time nervous! I don't want the ship to be horrible and rocky or have problems.
Oh and I am loving the weather here. Good ole Utah you are just to darn cold!
Man, this post was long! (Thumbs up if you read it!)
PS. Kelly's countdown Christmas gift today was Crash My Party, Luke Bryan's new album. I thought he would like it!
