We had too much fun... and now are recovering from walking approximately 58 miles.. okay probably not, but both of us have blisters from trying to cover all of the Vegas strip in 2 days!
I thought I'd pick 3 HIGHLIGHTS to share....
1. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA: We have both wanted to see this for years.. and let me tell you... it was well worth the wait!!!! AMAZING, fantastic, incredible.. love love loved it! And the best thing about it was that we bought nose-bleed section tickets... and when we got in the theater a guy came and said we were getting upgraded and moved us to some seats that were about 10 rows from the stage. The seats were DIRECTLY under the chandelier that falls during the show! AAHHH.. I'll scream for you if you not doing it right now! SO FUN!
2. RIDES ON TOP OF STRATOSHERE: If you have never heard of these.. you may want to look them up on the Internet just to get a better idea of how INSANE these rides are, and how insane that makes us for riding them. They are called XSCREAM, BIG SHOT, and INSANITY. Just to keep in brief, I'll just say that the top of stratoshpere is 1000 feet from the ground, and all 3 rides are at the VERY TOP of the hotel. I'm not sure Jeremy is the same man now as he was before those rides, I have never seen a guy so terrified in my life!! And I have a bruise on my arm from him hanging on to me so tight (okay that is a slight exaggeration, but not much!)
Scary.. but crazy fun!
3. Last, but not least.... Jeremy was flipping through a magazine in our room (a clean one everyone.. come on!).... and as he was looking through it a $100 bill fell out! He was beside himself!! We talked about turning it in.. but seriously... who knows how long its been there, and if someone remembered they had forgotten it they would have had a maid look or something right??? So right or wrong... we kept it and it helped pay for an AMAZING buffet meal! It was our weekend for luck.. and we didn't even have to gamble!!

Fun Kate, and can I tell you how much I appreciate you letting Cole ride home with you guys. Life saver you are! Love ya.
Looks like you guys had an awesome time in Vegas! I've never been to Vegas, but it looked like lots of fun! I LOVE Phantom--I could see it everyday and never get tired of it! That's awesome about the $100--I definitely would have kept it too!
Every time I go to Vegas, I'm too scared to go on those rides!!! Looks like you guys had a blast. I'm jealous!
That looks so fun! I say go on lots of vacations before kids, because after-it is just not the same with or without them! Phantom of the Opera-I want to see that someday, that is awesome about the upgraded seats!
Looks like a ton of fun. But seriously Kate no fair! I am so jealous of all the traveling you do!
Oh, I can't even TELL you how jealous I am! I am dying to see the Phantom. Maybe one of these days...Man, some people have all the luck, with the $100 bill and upgraded seats and all! I'm glad it was you guys. (:
You guys are so adventurous I love it. Looks like you had a great time.
Oh fun! I love the Stratosphere rides! I have not been to Vegas forever. I love it...in all it's dirty griminess and everything!
You guys are always going on fun trips!! I am jealous! Yea I think you are ok keeping the $100, and cute boots by the way!!! It looks like you had a blast!!!
Thanks for finding my blog! Your blog is adorable. You and your hubby are way cute! I remember being at Grandma Thorntons when you guys live just down the road. My, my cousin Katie, and you would play sometimes. We were probably like 8 so I don't know how I remember that! Aren't shawn and jenn's kids absolutely adorable!?
That sounds like so much fun!! I am so jealous!
You two are so fun! You are always going and doing and having some fun! :) LOVE it! Sounds like it was a lucky weekend! PS Did you get my message about changing dinner plans?
Oh my Heck I am so jealous! I LOVE VEGAS! It is seriously such a blast. And I want to see Phantom pretty bad. Caleb and I are going to New York next year (when I am done nursing) and I can't decide if Phantom of Lion King would be better. Anyway, fun post! Looks like a blast!
Oh my goodness I am so jealous! You guys are always doing fun things! Looks like you had a great time in Vegas! You are too cute. I love reading your blog.
KATE!!! I cannot stop laughing at the pic of your eyes popping out of your head, I have to see the real thing. That is amazing! I really can't stop!
So fun Kate, you guys look like you had a great time!
You guys go on the COOLEST trips! Hey, remember when we went to Vegas for the annual meeting and was walked a lot and did the worm out on the strip. So fun.
I LOVE your trips!....next time just stuff me in your suitcase, and I'll promise to be quite.
You two are SO adventurous. Your marriage is so fun and exciting! Thanks for sharing.
XOXO
lets be honest. the rammells would have kept the money and gambled with it. at least you nourished your soul. looks like fun!
This looks like fun. We need to run away for a weekend too! It's been FOREVER! The 3rd time I was going to Phantom I was taking my mom in London & I didn't want to spend a lot on seats again since I'd already splurged twice... so my mom & I sat there & debated in front of the ticket guy if we should splurge or buy cheap tickets. We finally decided on cheap ones & he waited for us to say that before he told us that the 3rd balcony isn't open, but they still have to offer that pricing so we got better seats than when I paid top dollar! It is fun! Sounds like you had a lucky weekend with the $100 too!!! How fun :)
You two are so SPONTANEOUS! I have wanted to see that show too, we will have to see it sometime for sure! That $100 was just a blessing for not gambling, I'm sure of it! I love the picture with the powdered donuts, what is a road trip without them...and having it all over your face ;)
I love looking at your blog. You are so dang beautiful! Looks like you guys had lots of fun. Enjoy those times together.
Wow Kate! You guys are crazy getting on the stratosphere rides! I have been to Vegas a ton of times and never once dreamed of getting on. The most i ever did was New York New York roller coaster! Looks like you guys had fun though!
sounds like you had a great time! I am sooo soo sooo jealous about you seeing Phantom! That would be fantastic! That rocks about the $100!!! sweet!!!
Kate! You guys have a blog! I love it too! Hope you are doing well...are you down in Utah now? Thanks for always being such a sweet person. You are FABULOUS!
You two are adorable and so much fun! Looks like a great adventure! And heck, I would have pocketed the money too! ;)
