Vegas Surprise...


For Zak's 28th Birthday I found online, presale only with a special password, ticket to go see our favorite comedian Dane Cook!! So I decided what the heck why not make a weekend trip to Las Vegas, I never really got to see the city when we were there last time. So I booked flights, tickets and hotel without telling him and surprised him on his birthday. I very glad that he had no idea where we were going and was just as excited as I was...so we were off to Vegas for a few days!

As many of you know there was a tornado just a few miles south and east of our house in Fort Collins, well that was the day that we were supposed to leave on a plane for our trip, needless to say we just missed it(as we took off from Fort Collins-Loveland Airport) and got to see the aftermath on CNN. I do have pictures of this and will post them once I am done. Anyways, getting to Vegas was quite the ordeal and we ended up being delayed 2 and a half hours, but once we got there it really didn't make a difference. We had a lot of fun and saw a lot of things while we where there. Not to mention Dane Cook and Cirque de Soleil!!! Here are the pictures.

The Wax Museum: me with Britney Spears


Zak and his LAME Idol


Zak who??? So I married George Clooney....What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas!!!


Zak saw my twin sister Jenna Jameson!


Hef was talking Dirty to me!



We went to this really bar in Treasure Island while we were waiting for Cirque to start, all of the bartenders were world famous and had been seen on the food network and stuff, it was a really fun bar...not to mention the free shots!


One of our days was spent walking around checking out the town, we went to the Bellagio to see the Botanical Garden. It was so awesome to see the things growing in there and really being able to appreciate the time and effort that went into it all. the next picture is moss that they had growing out of pieces of lattice, which made it look "checkered". There were little water trails that ran through it and jumped from place to place.

The next one is a miniature replica of the Bellagio itself, complete with fountains in the front, of course I couldn't get the picture with the fountains just perfect!



THE DANE TRAIN himself!!! this is how good our seats were!!!

Us before the show...

and again


We decided to spend the money and take the Gondola ride at the Venetian, it was pretty cool, I have video of our guy signing to us that I will try and post later.


We spent our first afternoon and evening in Downtown Las Vegas which was one of the main things on my list of things to do. We had an AWESOME meal of sushi at this really cool Brewery called Triple 7 Brewery, sushi at a brewery was a little weird at first but it was the best I have ever had. Then we walked around and saw all the old casinos and waited for the light show above us that is what the picture below is.


Don't worry Carl and I had "safe-sax"







It was a fun and we enjoyed ourselves a lot!!!
