When bloggers and Vegas collide.

Oh what a weekend. I know I say that almost every weekend but really, this weekend in Vegas with a bagillion bloggers was amazing to say the least. So be warned, a long post ahead, but full of pictures and awesomeness and enjoy!

Friday: Matt and I woke up earlyish, packed and were on our way to Vegas. Four and a half hours later we finally arrived! We made our way to Bally's and checked in before heading down to MGM to pick up our KA tickets (seriously, what a freakin walk that was). Afterwards we came back and relaxed a bit before meeting everyone for dinner at Caeser's Palace. And ohmygosh dinner was fantastic. The food was okay, but the company was phenomenal. With twenty two people I believe we took over the place. It was hilarious and so fun getting to see everyone and being silly and hanging out, loved it. I also loved that everyone loved Matt, it made me happy. And I think the fact that he was really good at opening crab legs helped too, haha. Unfortunately Matt and I didn't get to stay at dinner too long because we had to go and see KA, which wasn't a bad reason to leave, haha.

So after sprinting down the street we made it to KA just in time and loved it (you can read more about it over at the review blog, woo). After the show Matt and I just walked around MGM and New York, New York a bit before heading to a piano bar with some of the girls. It was so fun and seriously a great start to the weekend.

oh Vegas at night how I love you.

Saturday: Had to wake up at the crack of dawn to go to some time share presentation but once that was over Matt and I were on our way. After some directional mishap with the bus riding we eventually made it down to the Luxor to hang by the pool with Jamie, Jessica and Allie. It was such a nice day out, we all just relaxed and had some drinks and it was loverly.

After the pool Matt and I headed to the Ventian to meet up with a bunch of people at this delicious little Italian place in the Venetian. Seriously, I think we laughed the whole time and man was the food tasty, I had this cauliflower pasta and mmmmm is all I can say to describe it. After our late lunch Matt and I headed back to our hotel to get ready for the night (seriously I think we walked a million miles this weekend, not even kidding my feet are dying!).

Eventually we met up with everyone at this awesome bar in the Venetian that had great happy hour specials and fantastic bathrooms, not even kidding, award winning even.

yes I took a picture and can't you see why it wins awards? so nice!

Basically we took the place over and took a million pictures and it was so much fun!

me and the fabulous Nicole, seriously love this girl

Allie, Kerri, Andrea, Feisty and Freckled, and me, heart them!

haha, Jessica and I being devious with our wine

Oh man was it a great time, I'm pretty sure we ran the place for a couple hours. Eventually we headed out and down the strip with drinks in hand and craziness ensued. And by crazy I mean there was some roaring, some fountain jumping, some gnome spotting, some drunkenness, some McDonald'sness and all around a fabulous night in Vegas!

Doni and I made friends with the travelocity gnome.

Jamie and I practiced smiling with our eyes Tyra would be so proud.

the girls hopped in the fountain, for the win!

Matt and Nicole doing I don't know what, haha

seriously those drinks were delicious!

Seriously, most amazing night ever. Love everyone that was there.

Sunday: Oh Sunday morning was a little rough, just a wee bit hungover. After checking out Matt and I headed over to brunch at the Bellagio with Jamie, Jessica and Allie. Seriously there was so much food, it was amazing! And my stomach was oh so satisfied. Afterwards Matt and I headed out but not before checking out the Bellagio garden.

loved these.

I dared Matt to try and lick the water spout, haha.

After the garden we (aka Matt pointed it out and I can't say no to a slot machine) found the most amazing slot machine ever. It had a ginormous screen and lots of lights and colors and was only a penny so it automatically won my vote. I really had no idea how to play but I ended up winning fifteen dollars which made up for the fifteen I lost earlier in the weekend. Seriously, best way to leave Vegas, breaking even... sort of, haha.

Eventually we left and made it home in time to watch the Lakers win, woo woo and relaxed the rest of our weekend away.

All in all one fabulous weekend and I'm so glad I got to go. To all the bloggers that went, seriously loved you all and hopefully we can all meet again! And to the bloggers that didn't go, you better come next time! :)

And how was your weekend?




happy monday!
