Vegas 2025

I have wanted to see Garth Brooks live since forever...probably the 90s.  He was supposed to come to Seattle in 2021 and I was all set to get tickets with a big group of girlfriends, then 2 days before tickets where supposed to go on sale, he cancel the concert due to a Covid outbreak.  So when I saw that his Vegas residency was coming to a close, I just HAD to buy tickets.  Who knows if I would have had another chance, right?!  So I bought tickets and we planned a trip around the concert.  

I got Jordan and Mikel on board to come hang out with us and then bought them tickets to take Summer to Cirque De Solei while we saw Garth Brooks.  I was so excited...until I got a text from Jordan when our plane landed saying "call me when you land".  Mikel had the stomach flu and they weren't going to make their flight.  After a few sad, upsetting, frustrating, and angry hours, we decided to make the best of our trip.  Even though it's been 2 months since our trip, it still makes me sad that they didn't get to come.  Ugh.

We made it!

Summer tried her first In n Out

Summer loved the giant candy stores

We did a lot of walking...and my hip was inflamed the entire time, ugh.  
We stayed at the Paris Hotel and it was lovely.

Summer got to come to Garth Brooks with me...she was a good sport, until Mike told her how great Cirque De Solei was:(


We went on the High Roller at night, so we could see all the lights on the strip.  
It was pretty cool.

We tried Blue Bell ice cream (Clayton's favorite) and searched until we found a place that sold non alcoholic drinks in the big tall cups we saw everyone carrying:)

Blue Man Group

Bellagio Fountains

Arte Museum was cool.  This was our favorite room!

Freemont Street 
(very different during the day-family friendly even)

We wanted to eat at one of Gordan Ramsay's restaurants, but didn't make it happen
(eating gluten free was hard on this trip!)

The gardens at Bellagio 

Summer got to hold a parrot!  Worth every penny:)

Saw a couple getting married at Denny's
(Vegas is weird)

We went to The Pawn Stars pawn shop...Mike found hockey cards:)

Such a fun trip for this family of 3!!!
