Mark and I went to
Las Vegas at the end of June for Amy and Dave's wedding. Mark and I went to Auburn with Amy and she ended up here in Memphis and met and fell in love with Dave...and they got engaged last Christmas and started planning their wedding in Vegas. Dave is a doctor but loves to fly and loves airplanes - and owns several. Mark spends some of his free time out at the airport hanging out with the guys - it's just a fun group of people that have expensive toys! About 55 met out in Vegas to hang out for several days around this wedding. Mark and I made it out there Saturday morning, the day of the wedding, and stayed through Monday night. It was a great trip and a gorgeous wedding!
Saturday night we stayed at Planet Hollywood which is right across the street from The
Bellagio - where the wedding was. Planet Hollywood was really nice, very modern and chic....loud and young.
Our private cabana for the day - everyone hung out here through the day before the wedding
The flowers in the garden area off the lobby at The
Bellagio were gorgeous!

The area to the right of the picture is where the wedding took place
Amy and Dave getting married - and if you notice, we were right off the water where the fountain show is....as soon as they were pronounced husband and wife, there was a special fountain show for them. It was really cool!

When Mark and I got back to our room....this was down the hall....I guess he had a little too much of Vegas?
Mark was in Civil Air Patrol in Maryland with Alisha and she now lives in Vegas with her husband, Mike and their 2 kids (and one on the way). We met them for dinner at Paris and sat outside and enjoyed the wonderful food and had a front row seat to watch the fountain show across the street and people watch - Vegas is the best place to people watch!
The coolest thing in Vegas - they go off every 20 minutes and dance to a different song each time. The last show is midnight and it's always to the Star Spangled Banner
Sunday we moved down the strip to The Venetian - very nice!!! The rooms were incredible - 3 flat screen
tvs and very plush furniture and comfy bed. I could have stayed here for a long time!
Madame
Tussuad's was museum was connected to The Venetian and they brought
MJ outside - he died just a couple of days before we were there. People were lined up to take pics of his wax body - when we walked by, no one was there, so we stopped for a quick pic
Our trip is over...heading back to the airport and back to reality!
Mark left about 6 hours before I did....so I got to watch them taxi and takeoff

Looks like a fun trip. We love the Bellagio & the fountains! I'm cracking up @ the guy laying in the hall...nice!
Love all the posts!! We should so do Vegas together sometime. Also, may be requesting some baby gifts from you for a friend who is due in 2 weeks. I'll get back to you on that!
