Sterling and I went to Las Vegas for a short Anniversary trip on Friday and Saturday. We had such an amazing time. We'd like to thank Mom and Dad Allan for watching the kids for us!
We stayed at the Venetian. It's by far the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in! The entrance (in the room) and the bathroom were marble floors. They had robes and slippers for you to use. Our room had three plasma TV's. One in front of the bed, one in the sunken living room, and the other one was in the bathroom. You could watch it while you took a shower in the all glass shower. It also had a buffet table with a marble top that lit up. It was just gorgeous!
After we got checked in and dropped off our luggage we headed over to Madame Tussauds Wax Museum. I was so excited to do this. I've wanted to do this ever since I was a little girl.
After that we went to dinner at the very hip TAO. When you walk into the restaurant there are eight (four on each side) modern, concrete bathtubs filled with water and rose petals with floating candles. The effect is very stunning.
I didn't think it could get much cooler than that until we were seated across from a 25 foot Buddha!!
The food was to die for! They make some of the best Vegan Food I've ever had. We told our waitress we were Vegan and she came back with a whole list of things we could have. I've heard this is a big celebrity hang out though we didn't see anyone famous while we were there. Even if we had I doubt I would've barely noticed because it was such a fun, loud, energetic place! The service was also very good. When Sterling left the table for a minute the waitress came and folded his napkin! They even brought us steaming hot rolled napkins after we ate some messy lettuce rolls. After Sterling got back from the bathroom he told me that I HAD to go to the bathroom. I thought what can be so special about it? Well they had people that handed you paper towels and squirted lotion on your hands. How would you like that job? Also the whole back of the counter was lined with perfume, lotion, hair spray, deodorant, tums, breath mints, gum. You name it, it was there. I'll post part 2 soon!

Wow that's awesome! Brad and I have always wanted to do Vegas right...fancy hotels, dinner, and shows etc. Can't wait to hear more! How did the kids handle you being gone?
uh huh, uh huh. Now when are you going to get to the good part? I wanna hear about PHANTOM!! :) Seriously, I have checked your blog at least three times since yesterday, anxious to hear about the rest of your weekend. So far, its very different from mine but sounds like you had a great time!
The kids were really cute when we got back to pick them up from my parent's house, wanting to hear all about our trip and clinging to show that they missed us -- especially Hailee.
The TAO was by far the nicest restaraunt experience I've ever had. Totally classy and great service, decor, food -- and bathroom.
