Viva Las Vegas!

This year for New Years Eve and my 30th Birthday, we went to Vegas! Every year we ring in the new year with my brother and bestie Allison and her boyfriend Chad - so it was only appropriate that they join us in Vegas. We had a great time checking the city out but wow! there were a lot of people!

The first night that we were there, we ate at an AMAZING restaurant, Capital City Grille, there food was great, our table was next to a window that over looked the strip and their service was top notch. It was by far my favorite meal of the trip. It was just perfect!



They brought out this amazing dessert for my birthday - the cheese cake was homemade and oh so good and creme brulee, the best that I have EVER had! The chocolate cake was good too :-)

The next day, the first thing on our agenda was lunch! Since they are two hours behind us on time, by the time we got to eat it was 12:00 their time (2:00 our time) and we were starving! We wanted something quick and cheap since we would be eating at a nice place for New Years Eve dinner that evening. So what did we pick? In and Out Burger - it hit the spot! We had some good entertainment too - Matt met this guy from California and immediately he started singing country music songs when he found out that we were from Arkansas and Matt started singing rap songs - it was hilarious! People starting gathering around watching them - it was too funny!

New Years Eve night we ate dinner at a restaurant at our hotel - The Nine Steakhouse. The food was good - but the service wasn't anything to get excited aboout. One of Matt's buddy's from college who lives in Idaho was in Vegas for the weekend and met up with us for dinner. It was great to see him - it had been six years since he had moved and we hadn't seen him.



After dinner, we headed out to New York, New York to hang out and ring in the New Year!








The battery on my camera died Saturday night - I will have to get some pictures from Allison and post them.


We had a great trip and so thankful that we got to celebrate New Years Eve and my Birthday with some special people that are near and dear to my heart!


I wish you all a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Year!
