My first, and so far, only, trip to Vegas was in May of 2007, when Jake and I went for a long weekend to celebrate our 1 year anniversary. We stayed at the MGM Grand, and on our first night in town, we went to see Cirque de Soleil's "O" at the Bellagio. It was an amazing show, and we had great seats thanks to Jake's friend Jeff. Our mornings in Vegas were rather lazy, spent catching sun at the pool, but in the afternoons and evenings we explored the strip, visited the many other casinos, and tried out our luck at various places. I did pretty well on the slots at the Mirage, but I lost all of my luck later at the Luxor. Part of the time while there, we hung out with Jake's friend Mike, who is currently living in Vegas. And of course, we also took time to do the touristy things, like watch the fountain displays at the Bellagio, see the outdoor show at Treasure Island, and check out the lions at our own hotel. There really is no other place like Vegas, and the city truly does not sleep! I can't wait to go back!
