Wouldn't that be nice? I'm thinking maybe they need to revise the slogan. It would really appeal to women everywhere! We had a great time and some seriously incredible meals. When we first got there we were kind-of like "what were we thinking?" What are we going to do here for 5 days? Neither of us gamble except for a few coins in the slots and the first night we could hardly stay awake until 11pm! Too funny.
We got in the swing of it the next night and had dinner at Tao then saw an incredible show called La Reve. Really magical. The best dinner was Saturday at Caesar's Palace at a place called Bradley Ogden's. All organic. All amazing! My birthday dinner was at the Pampelmousse, a wonderful and romantic little French restaurant off the strip. We had a Lava cake at the end that was to die for. Tao was really good, too. Not as good as the one in NY, but still great with the most awesome atmosphere. (Pics to follow. I brought my camera, but forgot the cord to download the pics onto the computer! So disappointed. Will have to post next week.)
To balance out all the fab dining, we walked MILES every day. I wasn't going to blow my whole routine in one weekend! So we walked. In the gym, on the strip, in the mall, through the casinos...We covered a lot of territory! We went to see the Dolphins and Secret Garden at the Mirage, too. They had the cutest tiger cubs, a 3 month old baby dolphin, gorgeous white lion and tigers, a panther, a leopard, and a few more. You could really see them up close too. We both just kept thinking how cool it will be to take Ruby to the zoo sometime soon.
Jeff found the CUTEST thing for her at Fashion Show Mall. Disney makes these CD's that you can personalize with your child's name. I had been on the phone and then walked over to the stall where Jeff was standing looking rather excited about something. I heard Happy Birthday Ruby and then a Princess song of sorts singing to her by name...it was so precious I burst into tears. Yea, I am doing that a lot lately. Needless to say we bought it. Jeff is getting as bad as me! So now we have a personalized Disney CD for our 19 month old baby who will probably listen to it and know who the Disney characters are in about, say, 3 years from now!
All in all, a good trip. I got all that wining and dining and high heel wearing out of my system for awhile. It's now time to get back to my healthy diet, exercise, reading, and catching up on some sleep. Gee, I really AM 40 aren't I? Yikes!

Glad you had such a great time. I think you were at a higher altitude, so the calories weigh less. :)Happy Thanksgiving.
Sounds like you had a wonderful time!!!
Those Disney cd's are such a cute idea! You are always giving me ideas of what to buy and I'm still trying to wait!
