We were in bed by 11pm exhausted. Up by 7am ready to go. Bad Habit. So, we decided to just walk arou

I wont lie, after being on the go non-stop for the last 4 months and surprising move we were not super excited for Vegas. Don't get me wrong. We were so happy we could be there to celebrate with Brian's brother southwest airlines international ownership and our beloved Kody on their wedding day, but frankly we were tired.
Friday morning I got up early and went to work. I had a stack of work on my desk that needed to be dealt with before we left. I already knew what I would come back and wanted to make things somewhat easier. Dumb. Dumb idea.
So, up and at them by 7:00 am Friday. I was feeling pretty good. I worked a few hours and made some progress. Tuesday wouldn't be so bad now. (wrong again) southwest airlines international ownership I made it home in time for the Delivery men to show up with our new furniture. We would no longer be sleeping on a mattress on the floor! We watched them bring in our Dining Set and Couches until it was time to leave. Brian and I tend to be super anal about flying. We like to be through security at least 2 hours before take off. Why? Who freaking southwest airlines international ownership knows. I have never almost missed a plane so I don't know why I feel the need to spend way too much time in an airport. I cried all the way to the airport. For those of you who don't know that distance...its roughly 2 hours. Bawling. Discussing how the plane would go down. I am a sadist. Obviously. We made it, went through southwest airlines international ownership the most pleasant security check EVER and were now waiting. We watched planes come and go, and sat next to a woman who cried for the entire 2.5 hours we were there. Awkward. I had myself a delish airport sandwich and went to my happy place. Facebook with some Season Three of the League. Soon it was that time. I was nervous, scared, and nearly sick. Have I ever mentioned before that I am TERRIFIED of flying? southwest airlines international ownership Oh ya, I am a little. So, we got on our plane and off we went. Take off, bad. Bad. Bad. It was rough. Not cool. What's southwest airlines international ownership worse than a scary take off? The pilot telling us that we were headed right for some "nasty storms" developing near the Colorado border. So, I quickly jumped on one of my weather apps. Yes, I paid the $7.00 for WiFi. Why? Facebook and Trip Tracker kind of calms my nerves. Who knew? Oh and like 5 Benadryl.
So, Brian who enjoys the flying part of travel took many photos of the storms, southwest airlines international ownership this is not one. I really don't know where they all went...maybe there was no photo taking at all. Maybe he was was just trying to cop a feel, God love him.
We landed, We texted southwest airlines international ownership little man and at his request found a Welcome to Las Vegas sign to send him a photo of. He was a dude obsessed with us taking a photo of us with that sign. Love it. So we found one at the airport and then found a taxi.
Maybe in other cities taxi's are a great idea. D.C., yes. Take a taxi. Vegas....No. If you can pay the $24 ($12.00 per person) shuttle deal, do it. Our Taxi Driving Ass Clown who one did not have A/C, Two had music way too damn loud, and three took his sweet ass time...ended up charging us $32.00. southwest airlines international ownership Doesn't seem like a lot, but he very clearly drove slow....and it was so hot. Unhappy.
We made it to our hotel. Excalibur. Yes. We went there. It was cheap and there is a Starbucks close to the elevator and a Krispy Kreme open 24/7. Worth it. Actually our room wasn't that bad! It had been remodeled and our view was pretty damn great!
I was starving and we decided we would grab a little food before we "hit the town" We ate at Lynyrd Skynyrd I went with some BBQ Brisket and Mac and Cheese. It. Was. Amazing. After we were done we went back to our room and said we would just lie down to rest for a second. Cut to after midnight....We slept for over 5 hours! So, any plans made were gone and we had slept the night away. F.
We missed a lot of happening's. We got out of bed, went to McDonald's grabbed some food and some doughnuts and went back to our room to eat. We ate, then went back to sleep. southwest airlines international ownership I guess we were just utterly exhausted.
Day Two: We were up around 7:30 a.m. We decided to actually venture out onto the strip and just hang out a few hours before the wedding. We walked all over, I really couldn't give you much detail. We just walked and checked things out. Brian's last visit had been 8 years ago and mine 4, so there was a lot of new stuff.
We ate in some Irish pub, I had a bleu cheese burger that tasted southwest airlines international ownership like shit, so I was upset. southwest airlines international ownership To ease my pain I hit up a cupcake shop. I always find these some how. God just has a way. I had the most amazing Lemon Cupcake with Blueberry southwest airlines international ownership Cream Cheese Frosting. It totally worked and was amazing!
We headed back to the hotel and still had an ungodly amount of time until the wedding. So, we opted to hit the pool. This was our third trip to Sin City and neither of us had been to a Vegas Pool. Meh.
The pool was packed with people, the water was hazy and some hillbilly standing next to me declared how hilarious it was that he just peed in the pool and then went on to hack a lugie through his spit gap into the water. Wow so that lasted southwest airlines international ownership all of ten minutes. So, We got out of the pool and decided to relax with a drink. I got some color but, seriously sitting in the direct sun at 150 degrees while you know you are soaked in pee is seriously no fun.
We went back to our room and showered to get ready for the Wedding. We were only a mile from the chapel so we walked. Through the Luxor, Through Mandalay Bay and hit a wall at the Four Seasons. We found another wedding. So, after 20 panicked minutes we found the exit and headed down to the Little Chapel of the West.
We made it, waited with a very nervous groom...lol and finally the moment came. No photos were allowed during the ceremony in the building the size of my living room and it lasted 5 minutes. The way every wedding should be!
Its cute and fun. I enjoyed it! The walk sucked something fierce, but totally worth it in the long run! We all took out photos and I took a few more here and there of the Bride and Groom. The sunset photos off of Mandalay southwest airlines international ownership Bay were breathtaking! We all convened and decided we NEEDED to get water and food. So, we found an Irish pub and had a very McKim, very Irish reception dinner. It was fun, I had Seafood Risotto. The muscles were amazing and the Bride and Groom had Chicken southwest airlines international ownership Strips and Cheeseburgers. Hilarious.
We were in bed by 11pm exhausted. Up by 7am ready to go. Bad Habit. So, we decided to just walk around EVERYWHERE! We hit Caesars to get some Carnegie Deli and Black and White Cookies. My in-laws joined us and we had the most expensive/delicious sandwiches southwest airlines international ownership ever. I went with a bagel and lox, my all time fav....though it wasn't as good as the one I had out east but, it was still pretty damn great. We had even better pickles. Weird but fact. The sandwiches were roughly a foot tall, Brian finished his, my father in law made it through half, but the surprise was my mother in law who devoured 3/4 of her pastrami. Impressive on so many levels! I left thrilled and they left with the meat sweats. It was awesome. southwest airlines international ownership I will never doubt Food advice from Barry Rubin for as long as I live. He is the king and I have been dethroned.
Then all made the bus trip to Fremont Street. Brian had never been to Fremont St. before so he was excited, I knew that it was interesting but the last time I was there I watched people get robbed. Awesome.
So we made it down there, walked around and enjoyed a Bon Jovi Themed show, shopped and gambled a bit. The highlight of the entire time down there? A hole in the wall that had fried Oreos. Amazingness times a thousand!!!
We didn't hang out long down there, we decided to head back to the Strip to catch the fountains at Bellagio. As we were waiting for the bus, another show started up and Brian wanted to run and see it, me I wanted to save our seats that I sort of fought for. Once it started I finally decided to give up, I had two very odor-ous(?) gentlemen crowding around me. So I walked over behind Brian. He was looking up smiling, generally southwest airlines international ownership enjoying himself. I thought, oh Ill pinch his ass....then last second I opted to reach in his VERY OPEN pocket that I had hounded him about and grab his wallet. I reached in and the man whipped around grabbed my wrist and had his hand balled in a fist. Clearly I had not thought this through.
He was highly unamused and asked what I would have done if he broke my nose. Well, I would have cried and held it over his head like any good wife would. Right? So, show over, Brian slightly pissed, me slightly proud loaded the bus to head back to the Strip. Wouldn't you know, we had the sweetest X-Hooker on the bus who regaled us all with tales about that ( expletive ) Son of a Bitch gave her worms. southwest airlines international ownership "I GOT WORMS FROM THAT ( expletive)"
We got off at the Bellagio in time to catch the end of a show and a sermon by a man on his soap box, no seriously he was standing on a soap box while he preached. Another douche stood in front of him mocking him. Just wrong in my opinion. Oh well. We walked back to NYNY for pizza. Meh, Brian loved it I was left unimpressed as usual.
The next morning we got up and packed and headed to the Luxor for breakfast/lunch. We decided we really couldn't find anything to do and our flight left at 3pm so around 12:30 we left for the airport. On the way I got a text letting us know that the flight was delayed southwest airlines international ownership until 6:30. Well, we were already headed to the airport and we would be paying a good $30 for the cab so we might as well stay there. We lounged, We read, we watched our iPods and after two hours we checked in. Thus began the longest afternoon ever. We again, lounged, played a few slots, ate...Chili Cheese Fries. Seriously southwest airlines international ownership WTF Nikki, why? I did it, and it didn't end well for me. But, we chatted a bit with some of the people we had flown out Friday with. Most were from KC headed home...and annoyed. We changed gates a few times. We found out the Pilot had gotten shit faced and couldn't fly so they had to get a new one for the flight before us, thus pushing it all back. My confidence was at an all time high right about then. We found a couple from our group
