Vegas Recap

So I flew into Vegas on Wednesday and arrived around 1:00, grabbed a Taxi to the hotel that I was staying at, which is the new Planet Hollywood hotel, and checked in. I could have gone shopping, I could have checked into the spa, I could have walked the strip. However, I took a two hour nap! Yummy....


Here is a picture of the suite at ph and a snap shot of a view of the strip from my room. The room was very retro with three flat screen television inside. Who needs three flat screen televison in a hotel room?




I woke up to an angry Michael knocking on the door. Apparently, I was suppose to stay awake to let him in the hotel room because he didn't want to walk downstairs to get an extra key. He had been standing outside for about ten minutes before I awoke. He jumped on the computer right away and started working away. About an hour later, we left to grab something to eat and drove to Treasure Island hotel to see Mystere which is one of the oldest cirque du soleil shows.



What those people can do with their bodies is amazing to me! I wore this very sexy red BCBG dress that slits right up the leg...and all the way up the leg ;) It was a head turner!

Thursday morning, Michael had appointments set to look for new offices for his brother who is expanding his bankruptcy law firm to Vegas. He woke early to work and write down driving directions since we didn't have a printer in the suite. I received a call from a lady who the PTO group is working with for our fall fundraiser so I asked Michael for a piece of paper. He handed me the entire notebook and I wrote some notes and left the notebook in the TV room. We left the hotel and got around the block when Michael started digging for the directions. He couldn't find them and I said "maybe it's on the notebook you gave me". He ran up to the room (on the 34th floor) and 10 minutes later, came downstairs with a notebook frustrated because it wasn't there. Spent another 5 minutes looking before he decided to run back upstairs (we now 10 minutes late for our first appointment) came downstairs 15 minutes later with my pen and the notebook he gave me which had the directions on. Not the best way to start the day.

We spent most of the day driving around Las Vegas, meeting with real estate agents looking at office space. I took care of calling around to find a restaurant that was impressive but not too expensive. Yeah, that's an easy task!

The highlight of the trip for me was seeing Jersey Boys at the Palazzo. I had heard very good reviews on this show, but didn't expect that I would love it as much as I did by the end of the show. It's AMAZING and if you get the chance, go see this play!!! However, don't order a Bacardi/redbull at the Palazzo...it's $20!!! Anyway, back to the show....I even cried, but I won't tell you much more than that because I wouldn't want to ruin anything. Trust me though...go see this show! I thought this would be one of those jukebox singing shows, but it was so much more! I would seriously put this up there with Wicked and Les Miserables.



The shows were great and Vegas was wonderful, but the most difficult part of the trip was me finding myself falling for the guy that broke my heart once already * do I really want to go through this again? My girlfriend told me to not look at this trip as a devotion of his affection for me and that is exactly what I tried to do. However, I found myself at the end of the trip crying because I could feel my head fighting with my heart.

First thing is first...I am so glad you had a good time and were able to enjoy what Vegas has to offer.

Now...I know it's easier said than done dealing with your emotions and what your heart is telling you but just remember how he made you feel when he broke your heart before.

Hang in there!!

Glad you are back! Now back to the grindstone!!

So glad to hear that you had a good time...you really deserved a break!

I know it is so hard to listen to your head and not your heart....I am trying to help my brother through some of that right now.
