Tomorrow at 6:25 AM I, along with my family, will be boarding a plane and leaving for the great and wonderful Las Vegas. I am totally stoked!
Like I mentioned in an earlier post, my sister turned 21 on Valentine's Day. Everyone else in my family has been to Vegas except her, so we decided about a year ago to make this trip after she was officially of age. Well the time has come... and I simply can't wait!
Many times I get so excited about a place or attraction, because it is advertised so amazingly and then I get there and am disappointed. That didn't happen when I went to Vegas the first time. It definitely lives up to all its hype! I mean my mouth literally fell open in awe!

There is just so much to see and do. You can gamble and drink and see shows. Heck you could spend a full two days just in one casino! The buffets are excellent, the restaurants amazing, and the architecture of each casino is so unique. There are the rides on the Stratosphere and the water show at the Bellagio and the Pirate show at Treasure Island and the roller coaster at New York, New York. Inside the Venetian you feel like you are outside, because the ceiling is painted like clouds, and every so often it starts to rain. Mandalay Bay has the biggest buffet I've ever seen, and underneath the Eiffel Tower you can buy the largest margaritas in the world! Of course all this is on the new strip, but the old strip is equally fun and exciting! If you just happen to win there, your money comes out old style in quarters. Can you imagine even fifty bucks in quarters?
Last time we went, we stayed at the Mirage, which was entirely elegant and perfect. This year we decided to go a little bit cheaper and stay at the Excalibur. So if I don't get a chance to blog in the next five days, it's because I am off having some fun in Sin City. But I promise to tell you all about it when I return.

P.S. This is definitely the time to be jealous!
