The Godfreys: Vegas Getaway

So I am finally posting about our anniversary getaway that we had last week. We decided to go to Vegas and so Brandon looked up some deals on hotels and found an awesome deal. I can't remember what was all in package but we stayed at The Planet Hollywood. It's been 5 years since I've last been to Vegas and I couldn't remember where the heck this hotel was at. When we were driving on the strip trying to get to the hotel (lots of construction) I realized that Planet Hollywood use to be The Aladdin Hotel and got a total different look from the inside. We had an awesome view of the strip and we could see the water show that the Belagio does. By the time we flew in, rented our car, found the hotel, checked in, I was starving. We got settled in our room and went straight for some grub. After eating I was pooped! I got up early that morning and ran 9 miles and cleaned my house because my sister in-law and in-laws were staying out our house. My sister in law took my girls to seven peaks Friday so it was just me and Brock and I got a lot done while he was napping. I think it was 10 or 9 vegas time and I was tired! I went back to the room and went to bed. We got up the next morning ate breakfast and went to the swamp meet to meet my sister and my brother in law and the kids. My sister was suppose to meet us in vegas (she lives an hour away) at 8 but they got up late so they meet us there around 9 or so. Brandon and I walked and looked around so by the time they got there we were done and it was getting hot. My brother in law made a comment how Brandon doesn't need to go to Mexico now cause being at the swamp meet was like being in Mexico. They had the vendors, food, beverages, mariachi band, etc. My brother in law called it little Mexico. After awhile we decided to head out and go to the indoor outlet mall at the other end of the strip. We bought some things and enjoyed the nice cool air condition environment. Next thing on our list was to go to Brandon's favorite restaurant Buffalo Wild Wings. We don't have them in Utah so whenever we are in Vegas and now in Bullhead, Arizona we must go and eat their wings. I have never ate so much freakin wings in my entire life. I couldn't tell you how many wings I ate but it was alot. We ordered like 80 wings but all different flavors. They have like 15 different sauce and the have them ranged from low to very hot. Their hottest sauce is called blazin and I hear it's pretty hot. We ordered 6 of those for my brother in law and 6 of mango habanero. I decided to try the mango habanero figuring that yes it's probably hot hence the habanero but the mango taste has to sweeten somewhat right, wrong. I freakin felt like my mouth was on fire! My lips were burning so bad I couldn't handle it anymore. Brandon failed to mention to me that particular sauce is ranked the third hottest sauce. Thanks Brandon. After being rolled out of that restaurant we said bye to my sister and headed back to the room to relax before the Blue Man Group. The Blue Man Group was playing at the Venetian and I enjoyed. Well worth the money. As we were leaving the Venetian I noticed that there was a rug carpet rolled out, poster of the nightclub was being put up, and photographers were lined up. Being the star struck person that I am I told Brandon I am staying because I want to take pictures of some celebrities. I had seen signs up around town promoting this "someone" at the club in the Venetian and figured someone really famous could be there. After waiting for an hour and having to move from my fabulous spot this "someone" finally arrived. I was so flippin disappointed when it only lasted 15 minutes and no one famous came. This person was Rumor Willis, Bruce Willis' daughter. I know not too important huh. I didn't even know who she arrived with and then 4 other girls came and I knew 1 and that was Audrina Partridge. Never ever again will I wait for an hour if it's someone not too important. What a waste!
Sunday was a day of listening to a time share presentation but only did it for the free show and free lunch and dinner. Hey if it's free why not, right.? We had fun and it was a nice getaway for the both of us. It was fun to see how much Vegas has changed since I was last there 5 years ago. It's not even the same town anymore with this new city center that they are building. That thing is going to be massive. Well sorry that this was a long post but Brandon bugged me about not blogging about Vegas. So now you have it Brandon.
