Two weekends ago, we took a long weekend to Las Vegas, and it was a blast. Vegas is always a great time, but this one was more extravagant. We stayed at the Bellagio, and we saw Cirque du Soleil "O". The show is phenomenal, left us awestruck, and we think that everyone going to Vegas should see this at one point or another. Seriously, set some of your gambling money aside, and spring for some tickets, or try to get day-of specials or something, but don't miss it. Staying at the Bellagio is very nice too, we would recommend it if you want to splurge. We didn't even have a lake-view room (which is an option when making reservations, for a fee), but we loved it. From our room, we could see the private gardens and private pools of the 8,000 square foot villas, which are hidden in the back near the pools. The staff goes out of their way to make sure your stay is top notch, and their buffet has Kobe beef and sushi!
Now, we will have a few quiet weekends at home, before going to Knoxville to visit some very good friends!
