Vegas and St. George

This September my mom and I went out to St. George for my friend Mallory's wedding. We left from Charlotte Thursday morning and got into Vegas early that afternoon. Mallory's wedding was the next morning so we went straight to St. George and stayed there for the night. The next day was the wedding. Mallory looked so great and it was so awesome to see her and her family.

After the wedding and luncheon, we drove down to Vegas. We stayed in the Luxor hotel in one of the pyramid rooms (meaning the exterior wall was sloped), which was pretty cool. Friday night we walked down the strip and ate at Hard Rock Cafe. We walked to the Bellagio to watch the water show and then we walked back to our hotel.

The next day (Saturday) we drove up to Hoover Dam and walked around there for a while before driving back to Vegas. During the day, we went to The Bodies exhibit that was located in our hotel. It was so interesting and I could have spent forever in there looking at stuff. I just love the body and I am so fascinated by the amazing and genius creation of our bodies. That night we walked down to Treasure Island and went to Cirque Du Soleil Mystere. The show was crazy amazing, but I think I liked the show in Charlotte better. After the show, we walked back to our hotel again and got ready to leave the next day.

Our flight left early Sunday morning, so we got up and went to the airport. I decided that while we were waiting for our flight that I might as well play the slots, so I did......but it wasn't nearly as fun I thought it would be hahaha.

Overall, I loved the trip and had a lot of fun. It was such a crazy city and I am not sure if I would ever go back. I don't do very well with large crowds, so walking up and down the strip almost drove me crazy. I was so glad that I was able to go to Mallory's wedding though.
