Hot Tubs and Neon.. Vegas Friday DAY

Friday in Vegas Gabe and I started our morning with bloody Mary's in the hot tub..We tried to start every morning in the hot tub on Vacation!

 Drew came by to visit with us and so did Michael Burns. The water bottle was filled with Gabe's very strong! bloody Mary
 Drew hanging poolside with us
 Gabe and his 2nd Bloody Mary. We only stayed in the hot tub for about an hour until it was time to get ready and meet the rest of our friends for our Tour of the Neon Boneyard that we booked a month in advanced!
 This is the Sign. It was Made by a bunch of pieces from other hotels. Such as the diamonds were from the Stardust, The N from the Golden Nugget, The E from Ceasars, The O from Binions and the other N...hmmm I forgot actually ..grr...What is Cool is the Checkboard backing...WHICH came from The Sands...You know..the one with the Infamous Rat Pack Standing in front of it!
                                                                           This one here                                                                                          
 anyways Here are just a bunch of shots of just a few of the many iconic pieces of Neon from Old Las Vegas...

















 This sign is the Oldest!

 OH and remember La Concha!! It is also safely being kept at the Neon Boneyard as well
I think it is just lovely that the save a lot of these old signs..Some they own and others are owned but stored there at their site. We learned SO much..it was such a treat touring this site!
Afterwards it was time to go back to our room for lots relaxing and in room cocktails then getting ready for our very MOBBY Dinner!

Vegas High Rollers Part 1 Day Thursday

So I am FINALLY going to get along with my Vegas blog that happen a little over a week ago. Gabe and I flew out to Vegas on Jet Blue..I always love flying Jet blue but I am not a good flyer without a drink in hand and unfortunately because the flight is so short I only had water to drink :/
 The landing was great in Vegas and we got there quick. Love the Airport sign on our way to the tram to the baggage claim
 On the Agenda for Thursday was to watch Vickie do a Sky Dive that her husband surprised her with for her Birthday. Here she is getting suited up
 and here she is getting ready to get on the plane..which by the way was a little sketchy. It had some dents and was dirty..Josh was so nervous about how it looked on the outside....Apparently Vickie said it was even worse on the inside all dirty and taped together...I guess that is their way of making you WANT to jump out of the plane.
 Gabe and I and Josh got on the shuttle they provided to take us to the landing zone
                                                                  Self Portrait in the shuttle
 Here they come..this is a TOTAL zoom in. She jumped from 15000Ft
 I would be crapping myself
 and coming into a safe landing
 This was the tip envelope..I thought it was funny what it read..afterwards we headed to a discount liquor store and bought TONS of Booze
Back at the Hotel Vicki, Dana and I all had a Spa appointment. We hit up the steam room, Hot Tub, Lounges and got Massages, Facial and Manicure ...it was So relaxing...Then we got dressed for the evening and headed over to the Plaza for the Meet and Greet                                                                                 
 At the Club Swingers they had Dj's playing a lot of Brit pop..it reminded me of my old cafe blue days
 Drew Jumped in front of my camera ...hahahhaa crazy guy
 Dancing fools I tells ya
 Classic drunken Michael Burns face
 and dancing
 The gals and to follow more pictures of friends



                                                                      
 This was my Magnum zoolander face...I didn't do it right....
 And all of us....we danced ALLLL Night Long and Drank Lots..I had such a awesome sleep though..
