To make my 30th birthday a little bit easier to deal with, I decided to celebrate this milestone in Las Vegas. We left at 7 am Friday morning and with the time difference we were are our hotel by 9:30 am Vegas time. Neither Brian nor I had ever been so our main objective was sightseeing not gambling. We went with economical accommodations by staying at Circus Circus, which was fine, especially the indoor amusement park which I was highly impressed with. We walked the strip, went to Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum, and took a gondola ride at the Venetian (which was my favorite hotel of them all). We ate lunch in Margaritaville, shopped at the four story M&M store, saw the Cirque du Soleil show, Zumanity and took in as much of the city as possible in three days. My only complaint was the weather, it barely reached 70 degrees the whole time we were there and had 40+mph winds most of the time. In contrast, St Louis that weekend was 80 degrees and beautiful. I can't believe we went to the desert in October and it was colder than at home, oh well we still had a great time, we just had to wear our jackets and stay out of the pools. Although she enjoyed staying with Nana and Bill for the long weekend, Alena was very happy to see us when we got home on Monday and we were all happy to be back at home together again.
