back from vegas. yeah it was fun but not thrilling. i would have to say that the best part of the whole trip was seeing the Cirque Du Soleil perfomers. they were doing the show "The Beatles  Love." amazing. that is really the only word you can say to describe it. tickets were $125.00 if you wanted to sit together so we (being cheap) opted for the $99.00 tickets where you do not sit together but get to sit next to random strangers. i lucked out and sat next to a man and women from new york. unfortunatly for sonny she had to sit next to a drunk guy from chicago. he was not as classy as i pictured chicagans to be. buzz aldren was there too. it was the 37th anniversary of us landing on  the moon so he decided to come to the show.

here is my review of cirque du soleil (because i know you are all on the edge of your seat waiting for it).  this show made me consider being an acrobat so that means it was pretty good if i want to change a profession after seeing a show. people came flying from every corner of the builiding and ceiling which was good that they used every part of the stage for the show so even people with bad seats (ie everyone sitting around me) were still able to see the show. at first i wanted to cry because it was moving. and not a religious moving. more of an "oh this is amazing" moving. during the first song they had guys and girls doing a dance in the air and i forget what line it was in the song, but the guys would drop the girls and they would bungee right back to them. i know that they are all on cables but it looked like they were going to hit the ground really hard and that would be it. the next song was "I am the Walrus". i could not take my eye off the guy who looked like he had no spine. the way he would move his body was fantastic. he would do the head to toe wave and then his legs looked like they were detached from his body. crazy. they did all the beatles songs and my favorite performance/song was "In the way she looks". the same guy that did "I am the Walrus" did this song and he moved in a much more graceful way and the girls looked like angels flying around.
During the song "Revolution" they made the best use out of trampolines. people were flying everywhere without cords so you figured they had to try really hard to not fall off. honestly, these performers were amazing. the best part of was thinking about how graceful everything was. timing was perfect (which made me think of how many accidents and broken bones went into making this show).
oh and i have to tell you, you pretty much go through 3 different stages of feeling. my first was the crying sensation because everything was soo magnifcant (but i did not cry mind you). the second was feeling like i was in a crazy dream and the third was that i had just taken LSD and it was kicking in. i know they probably will not make a DVD out of it but if they did, i would buy it and it is hard for me to by a DVD. you should look it up on the internet or something because clearly you cannot do it justice by writing about it.
ah that was great. sorry you guys couldnt enjoy it like i did.

other then that, there was alot of shopping and eating.

shopping: i do not call going into stores and looking at stuff i cannot afford "fun." sonny and my mom did though. we went into Prada, Dior, and Jimmy Choo. shoes should not cost $700.00 they had better be plated in gold for me to buy a pair of $700.00 shoes. oh and Dior had red baby shoes for $90.00. i love my children but not enough to buy them $90.00 shoes that they will only wear for a week. so when we got to the fashionshow mall and i could actually afford clothes, paying 20.00 for a shirt didnt seem all that bad.

eating: that is all we really did. food out there is expensive. everyone talks about how the buffets are really good so we went to one. okay it is buffet food. what are you doing charging people 20.00 per person? my goodness. yeah it was good but trying lowering the price to 8.00 per person and it would taste fantastic. i think the best place we ate was the harley davidson cafe. it was neat because they had motorcyles suspended from the ceiling going around a track through out the whole place. it was neat until you thought about the motorcycle falling on your head. and for my moms birthday we ate at toby keiths bar and grill. he has that song "i love this bar" which everytime it comes on everyone in the place gets a free shot of tequila. this guy opened his throat and kept chugging the tequila. brave guy.

gambling: i only lost a dollar. i played a slot before the show and didnt win anything. came close though. and i did it underage which makes me a rebel. one night my dad and i were standing at a craps table and he was trying to explain it to me when this lady asks me if i am 21. to dodge the question i said my dad was telling me how to play. she said if you are not 21 you cant watch a craps game. why? i have seen worse than a craps game. infact that same afternoon i saw 3 overly hair men in the pool and large women in bikinis. do not tell me i cannot watch a craps game. well i left because i did not want to get carded. oh and my dad really is kenny rogers a.k.a the gambler. he came back 500.00 richer. man.

pool: there are old men that are too tan in a very not natural way. and they wear speedos. ew.

this is a perfect stream of water. it will start shooting across the walkway and no drops of water will fall on you. at first i thought it was just a glass tube but you can put your hand through it.
