We're almost there! We decided to take a minor detour at Primm to have lunch, ride the roller coaster and do a little shopping! Thank you Kristen for the "back to school" hook ups!
Finding out the roller coaster was closed for maintenance...
Finally in Las Vegas! We checked into the Monte Carlo hotel... all managing to get rooms (with a little sweet talking) on the same floor! We decided it would be fun to dine at Benihana's.
We had such a great time watching dinner being sliced and diced right in front of us! Our chef was talented but not very understandable. We all just shook our heads and smiled politely when he spoke! He did try out a little Spanish though... which we all TOTALLY understood.
The infamous Japanese "volcano".
After dinner we goofed around in the casino! Caught you, Brian! (I mean Aaron...) Not so innocent, huh?
Jeff (I mean Jason...) opted out on a massage and put his allowance on "craps". Not too shabby! Thank you for taking one for the team for pure enjoyment! All of our adrenaline was pumping on your expense! You did good. :)
We spent Saturday eating an incredible breakfast buffet, getting massages at the spa, relaxing in the lazy river (I would say by the pool but it was at least 105 degrees!) and getting ready for "Phantom".
We went to the Venetian hotel for dinner! We ate at an amazing restaurant called "Demonico" with amazing food! We were relaxing, enjoying dessert to it's fullest when we realized our show was starting a half hour earlier than expected! Which meant we had ten minutes to pay the server and roll our fat bellies out of there and across the bottom floor of the Venetian to the theatre. We made it just in time!
It was Doogie and Kristen's 10 year anniversary! Thanks for letting us share it with you!

Jen and Jas
After "Phantom" (which was awesome) we retired back to the room and played a little friendly game of "Texas Hold 'Um". We had such a terrific time with such good friends! Definitely the highlight of our summer!
From what I gather... Cachi took off for the weekend and left poor Lanae-nae to fend for herself! Needless to say, he was thrilled to have us and his home back!
It was good to see that everyone had survived the weekend! Thank you Lanae and Cachi! We love you guys!

Way fun week end!!! You didn't miss much with that roller coaster. In fact, I'm really happy to hear that they maintain it! I LOVE roller coasters...and that one scared the **** out of me!!! I thought that it was going to break with me strapped in at 22 floors high!!!
To fun! Looks like we need to go. And it looks like Lanae survived.
