Las Vegas

We got back from Las Vegas yesterday afternoon just in time for Matt to make it to work. The weekend was relaxing & fun. Matt's parents rented this amazing house just a couple miles from the strip with a pool, pool table, jacuzzi, Wii, huge screen TV, our own slot machine, & 4 bed rooms. it was pretty amazing. We took advantage of every bit of it. Matt & I spend saturday night stranded in the house with no keys & 2 cars sitting out front, talk about frustrating. But we made the best of it, watched movies & ordered pizza; felt like we were in our own house. Sunday morning we woke up to have a nice breakfast & then headed out to our hike in Red Rock Canyon. It was absolutely beautiful (will post pictures this week) We came home, napped, then the whole family went down to the strip & had a fancy dinner in Mandalay Bay & gambled for about an hour. Matt & I have gone to Vegas 2 times before this trip & haven't had much to worry about money wise. & during those trips we easily gambled a few hundred dollars; but now that we have a wedding to think about we practiced a little self control. We did walk away with small winnings. $50 here, another $15 there. A weekend in Vegas was just what we needed.
