Vegas-Day 1

We left for Las Vegas at about 3:30pm on Friday the 16th. We stopped in St. George for dinner and a break for Kylie and arrived at Becky's house at 9:30pm. Dean, Nadine and Andrew were already there and we all talked for an hour and then went to bed.  Becky's room-mate had gone home for the summer so we stayed in her room.  I guess her room-mate sleeps on an air mattress and I don't know how she does it.  The first night, Kylie and I lacked sleep.  Kylie woke up at 3:30am and struggled to go to sleep the rest of the night.  It was tough and I tried bringing the pack n play out to the living room so Scott could get some sleep, but it wouldn't fit through the door.  I'll admit that I was a little grumpy that morning.  Surprisingly though, Kylie and I did pretty well with all our activities that day on such little sleep.

We first headed to go get a picture with the Las Vegas welcome sign.  We parked at the Mandalay Bay hotel and thought the sign would be walking distance.  It was about 100 degrees out so when we found out it wasn't as close as we thought, we decided to drive there.  Before we drove there, we ate brunch at a buffet place inside the hotel.  We weren't too impressed, but it was still fun to go to one.  Kylie had a blast and was squealing a little too loudly.  When we got to the sign, there was a line to take some pictures and Kylie was sleeping so she's not in any of them.

Kylie is so loved.

Our next stop was M&M World.  It was fun to walk through and we got pictures with two characters.  We also watched the 10 minute 3D movie, which was cheesy of course.

Getting my favorite souvenir!

Scott loves peanut m&m's

Oops...

3D Movie!

Kylie enjoyed the movie too.

After M&M world we headed next door to Coca-Cola world.  While there, the coca-cola bear was out and ready to take pictures.  You can take pictures with your own camera and then a professional takes a few pictures that you can purchase later, which of course we did.  We started taking some with Kylie and poor girl was hungry so she was not super happy.  The bear was a riot though!

What is happening to my mommy?!

Can't stop laughing at this one!

We then drove to the Bellagio and walked around the conservatory.  It was really pretty with all the flowers!  The opening session to Scott's conference was that evening at the Mirage hotel so he headed there.  The rest of us watched two fountain shows and then headed back to Becky's because we were tired.

Tuckered out after such a long day.

After Scott's conference, he went out to eat with his co-workers so the rest of us stayed at Becky's the rest of the night.  We got these delicious sandwiches at a place called Capriotti's.  I got the Thanksgiving sandwich which had turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing and mayo. Yum. We played a few round of Clue before going to bed.  It was a busy, but fun first day!
