Vegas vacation

We're back! It was so much fun and such a great time. The weather was BEAUTIFUL everyday! It was around low 80's every day and sunny - so much better than the 50's and rainy/cloudy that's been in Iowa. We got to basically do everything we wanted to, and then some! A few things we didn't do was see the famous "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign and ride the Sahara rollercoaster, but we did get to do extra stuff like going to the stop of the Stratosphere, going to downtown Vegas, etc. On Thursday night when we got there we didn't get there until later than expected (waiting to be picked up, getting to our hotel, checking in, etc.) and were STARVING! So we went to Margaritaville, ate, got some margaritas, and then started to wander down the strip a bit. Friday we woke up, ate breakfast, and then went up the strip towards New York, New York. We went to Planet Hollywood, MGM, Bellagio, Ceasars Palace, etc. Saturday we went up the strip the opposite way and went to downtown Vegas and went on the Stratosphere. Sunday we went to Pawn Stars and putted around for our last day there. It was a lot of fun, but definitely expensive. We threw some money in every few places, and Josh was up $60 at one point, but lost it all. I was up $8 and lost that haha. But we had a lot of fun - it would definitely be fun to go back with a group of friends! Here are some of the pictures from the weekend:
