Home At Last!

I had to go out of town on Thursday for work. So Matt and I didn't really do anything fun seeing as I just got back tonight. I had to go to a conference in Las Vegas. Ofcourse it takes the ENTIRE day to get home. I got up at 8 am and got home and 9 pm, the time change is killer. It was interesting because I haven't been to Vegas in a long time. I went with 2 co-workers and we arrived on Thursday night at 10 which was 1 in the morning our time, so we were basically zombies. The trip was for work so it wasn't like it was a barrel of laughs but there were some funny things.

Highlights
1. Celine - since I have the coolest boss, she bought tickets for us to go to Celine Dion on Saturday night before we flew home on Sunday. She thinks that people shouldn't go to Vegas and not see Celine. I think she is right. It was awesome!! The show was AMAZING. It totally gave me chills. If you haven't been you need to go. The coolest thing about the coliseum is that you feel really close (okay we had really good tickets) but she seems like she is just right there. And she talks to the audience in the middle of the show and stuff, it was way more of a show than a concert.
2. The Buffet - anyone who knows me knows that I love buffets. This one was awesome OFCOURSE. The dessert portion had mini everything, mini pies, mini creme brulee. Basically I gained like 5 pounds courtesy the buffet, but it was TOTALLY worth it.
3. The shopping - we were staying at Treasure Island which is across from Fashion Show Mall, the Wynn and the Venetian we also went down to the Forum shops. They all have awesome shopping. The layout of all the stores is so different and so cool. Not like anything else.

Lowlights
1. Cleavage - okay do people in Vegas not like to wear clothes. I have never seen so much clevage in my life. Everywhere that you look. Really people, put on some clothes.
2. Vegas Uniform - okay more funny than a lowlight, but the next time anyone goes there, please notice what the men are wearing. WAIT, you don't need to go there, I can tell you what they will be wearing, THEIR VEGAS UNIFORM. Dark straight leg jeans and a long sleeved button down shirt (probably from J. Crew), and the shirt will not be tucked in. I swear we would see groups of guys and they were all wearing the SAME THING. In fact the shirts were usually blue and striped. Do they all know something I don't know?!
3. THE SMOKE - SO BAD SO SO BAD. I guess we are spoiled because you can't smoke inside ANY buildings in our entire state, but I had a perma headache from the smoke. When we would step out of the meeting rooms there would be so much smoke INSIDE the hotel. Everywhere SO much smoke. Do they not have those Truth tobacco commercials in Nevada?

So basically I am glad to be back to reality. I guess that's an okay place to visit but I could NEVER live there. It is some alternate universe, at least the strip is. I know that you all hate this post because there are no pictures but I didn't take any. Sorry!
