My mom graciously stayed with our girls for 3 nights so we could head to Las Vegas with our friends Don and Lisa. We set out to celebrate Lisa’s birthday and what a weekend it was! We spent our weekend eating, drinking, a little gambling, a magic show and a whole lot of fun. It was such a fun getaway with the best of friends.
David Copperfield Magic Show. Don is a huge fan of magic and he was pretty excited. 

Our seats were in the second row which was pretty fabulous. Even more fabulous – I got called up on stage to be part of one of the tricks. It was so much fun.

We stayed at New York, New York which is still one of my favorites. It’s not as upscale as some of the others but its quirky and I love it.

The next morning we were up bright and early and were back to exploring the strip.

We had lunch at Gordon Ramsay’s pub and grill at Ceasar’s. We had huge beers and good food. 

We finished off our night at the Venetian enjoying Lobster Me which is basically a lobster lollipop which is not sad at all.

Our last day we walked and walked and walked and had the most delicious dinner at CraftSteak in the MGM. It’s a Tom Colicchio restaurant and being big Top Chef fans we couldn’t wait to try it. We had steak and lobster and monkey bread for dessert. It was decadent and over the top which pretty much sums up Vegas!

I wish we could have packed up one of these Eiffel tower cupcakes for the girls. We didn’t try them but they sure were pretty.

We had the most fun and I’m so grateful for an amazing husband, fun friends, and a wonderful mom willing to spend time with our beautiful babies.
