Vegas

Friday Carrie, Lyndsey, Danielle, and I headed out for Las Vegas after we were done with classes and most of work. Our first stop was Maceys grocery store to stock up on the snacks for the drive.
Danielle and I hitting up the liquid beverage section.
We were all so excited for a little weekend road trip. Carrie was super excited! We drove down to St. George that night and stayed with Carrie's grandparents. We didn't do much there other then eat pizza and read text messages.
Lyndsey, Danielle, Me, Carrie all gathered around the Papa Johns pizza. Yummy!
We goofed around that whole night and tried taking some pictures but this is about as good as we ever got.
Saturday morning we woke up and had a really great breakfast for college students and then headed to Vegas.
Our excited faces as we were leaving!
When we got there we stopped at the Premium Outlet mall. It was very large and had lots of great stuff. We shopped as long as we could before becoming completely exhausted. The weather was great the whole day and we had lots of fun.
I picked up three shirts and a really cute jacket for a total of about $20! I thought it was pretty good.
We had to get a picture of the wedding chapel. We thought it was great that the tux shop as well as the marriage license place was all in one spot.
This picture was taken inside of Cesar's Palace. It was really neat inside of this place. Fist of all there was the casino area with all kinds of flashing lights and noises and then it was like a miniature mall inside one hotel.
This little aquarium was also in Cesar's Palace.
This picture is pretty funny because there was all of the sudden a bunch of fish and apparently by the time Lynds took the picture there were no fish.
Just a few fishy faces. My face slipped by the time the picture was taken.
I thought Lyndsey and Carrie got it just right!
Just another picture.
After we picked up a birthday present for Lyndsey's boyfriend (who plays on BYU football O line, also who we got our tickets from) we headed to the Bellagio water show. Just outside we found a few pirates and had to take a picture. They looked pretty good we thought.
The Bellagio. The water show was pretty awesome but we didn't really get any pictures of the water because there were lots of people.
Us just outside the Bellagio
There was also they mock Eiffel Tower so we took some pictures of it as well.
There were so many lights and flashing signs in Vegas. It was crazy how bright it was even after it was dark.
This is just a little bit of silliness really.
After all of this we rushed to UNLV campus to watch the game and found out that their stadium is not by the campus at all. It's about 20 min south. Once we got there we ran and realized we left the camera in the car so we didn't get any pictures of the game. We won by a lot and I met a few of the wives of some of the players. After the game we drove back to St. George and did everything we could to stay awake. Sunday morning we woke up early and headed back to Provo and made it just in time for my ward. It was a really fun weekend but I'm ready to just sit and relax.
