Last Monday we adventured down to the Strip for a fabulous staycation to the Luxor.
It was a MONDAY evening, people, and there was a Disneyland ride-type line just to check in. With every twist and turn of the line I thought, "What day is it?" and "Are they sure there is a recession?" and "I'm hungry."
Our fabulous view from the 27th floor. Unfortunately that was just about the only fab thing about our room in the Luxor hotel and casino! I hate to say it, but hieroglyphics decals on veneer would be acceptable at the Hotel 6 Luxor. Not at the one on the famed Las Vegas Strip!
Georgie on an overused armchair...thank goodness for the portable DVD playah!
And the beds were sucky. Five inch mattresses and flimsy sea foam green spongy blankets. (do you know which ones I mean?)
My bed and room at the Best Western in Whistler blows this one out of the water!
But the hotel itself is pretty fantastic...during the late 90's many a weekend night was spent shakin' it at RA with the girls.
And there are big Egyptian statues everywhere.
Our trip was super fun, despite the sleepless nights. And we had so much fun doing Vegas-y things like squeezing through M&Ms world.
With ba-jillions of other travelers.
*You can't tell from her award-winning smile, but Lizzy has a raging case of swimmers ear. She was a trouper!
Emily appears to be posing for paparazzi while flying above Vegas...
And we enjoyed each other.
Here I could insert a witty twist on the "What Happens in Vegas..." slogan but I won't. I will just wrap-up our vacay with a picture of Bret and the kids squished into a photo booth. Thank goodness I took this picture because the one we paid $5 for was Lizzy's chin surrounded by little m&ms. Hilarious.
And one last shot...Bella was tired of all the peeps by this time. And Bret had let George out of the stroller so he was running down the front of the MGM trying to catch him.
We did lots of other fun things...with the millions of other vacationers in Vegas.
