Thank you Cheryl Crow for my new ringtone!

Now that we are on to our next adventure I wanted to share with you my top 10 Las Vegas Moments:

10. The Venetian Poker Room.  Specifically Terri.  But the entire team of folks running that joint are AMAZING.  I lounged in “my office/tv and moving watching area” for many hours and was treated with nothing but kindness and acceptance. I basically love all thing Venetian (with the exception of Michael –the security guard who made our life a living hell for one day until our hero Terri stepped in!).

9. I know I said all thing Venetian, but I wanted to give all the delicious meals that we had a the Grand Lux its own number; it deserves it!  If you have a chance try the Sloppy Joe before you die.  Mmmmmm!

8. My first OTH job: Flour Couture by Floral 2000. I was able to spend the day making new friends, inhaling the amazing aroma of all things floral, and learning that working in a flower shop really is work — fun work, but still work!

7. TOURIST DAY!!! In one day we squeezed in a photo with the Las Vegas Welcome Sign, a tour of Zappos, a visit to Pawn Stars pawn shop, a delicious Capastrami, and a chance to win a car!  Tourist day was soooo much fun!!

6. The last part of our 24 hours with Elaini was Super Bowl Sunday.  That means CASINO HOPPING!  We put $20 into the video blackjack machine ordered a cocktail, left a tip, played for a while, cashed out our $20 and on to the next bar.  It wasn’t quite that boring though.  For more details please see Elaini’s post.

5. Being an outdoor supermodel for 10 minutes.  After the nerves wore off it was a lot of fun, and something that I’ll never forget…thanks to the photos!  Thanks Joyce for a memorable and very fun night out!

4. Our entire Blue Diamond/Red Rocks experience was amazing.  I already gushed about how much I love it in the Welcome to Blue Diamond post.  This amazing small town is as beautiful as its citizens.  Thanks again to the Van Bettens!

3. Crazy Michelle being sent home, spray tanning and shaving 3 year olds, the good brother is the baby daddy, dudes sleeping with their Financees sisters, Kyle vs. Camille, and my favorite: Taxidermy and Camo,  –that’s right, it’s Reality TV Day with Elaini!

2. The BEST VALENTINES DAY EVER!! Details to follow in another post.  Watch for it.

And finally…

1. The super sexy, super studly,  poker sensation, Matt Schultz cashing in 3 poker tournaments.  Winning 3rd in a noon tourney the first week we were there, then getting 5th in the Horse tourney on our last day in Vegas, and also cashing at a tourney at Harra’s. O so amazing! ;)

Lived it, loved it.  Left it.

Tally Ho!

xoxo

Breezy.
