Vegas

When Rick asked me what I wanted for Christmas, I told him that I wanted a weekend away. Well, after much research, he found out that Reba was going to be in Las Vegas, so he bought tickets and we started planning our trip.

I was fairly surprised that Rick would take me to Vegas since he's NEVER had any interest in visiting there. I was even more surprised when he told me that he wanted to stay on the strip in a "nice" place. So after lots of looking, I booked us a room on the penthouse floor at The Signature at the MGM Grand. The Signature is 3 towers located behind the MGM Grand and connected by an indoor walkway with moving sidewalks (it only took us 5 minutes to get to the MGM). The best part about the Signature was that it was non-gaming and non-smoking. Our room was amazing! (this is a picture of a different unit since I didn't take any of the room) We could have stayed here for weeks!
The spa tub was perfect for soaking tired feet after walking the strip.
Since we haven't been to Las Vegas for years, we did lots of sight seeing. There really are so many cool things to check out.

Rick's favorite place was M&M World. They had every souvenir imaginable! We bought a few and squished some pennies there for the kids.

The Bellagio fountain show

The ceiling at the Venetian were amazing!

Eating at the New York New York

Waiting for the concert to start

The concert was amazing! LeAnn Womack sang for 30 minutes, then Reba sang for 1 1/2 hours, followed by George Strait singing for 1 3/4 hours. We were there for Reba, the others were just a bonus!

Thanks for a great weekend away Rick!
