Catch-Up Round 4: Viva Las Vegas for Andy's 30th Birthday

Andy officially welcomed his 30's on January 25th! I woke up extra early that morning to decorate our house in "30" paraphernalia so his day would kick-off in style! That evening, we went to a yummy dinner at Andy's favorite restaurant Sweetwater Tavern with my parents. We did some gift giving and then headed home, as it was a weeknight and we all had to get up early. It was a great beginning to the main birthday event!

The next day, we packed our bags and headed to Las Vegas with 2 of our good friends to celebrate. We arrived Thursday evening and checked into our hotel, the NewYorkNewYork. Since it was pretty late when we arrived, we headed to a late dinner at a Mexican restaurant in our hotel and then visited a fun Piano Bar for some late night beverages.

I guess this is what 30 looks like?!
The next day we woke up early and grabbed some breakfast in the hotel. We spent most of the day loungin' around the hotel room. We had an early dinner reservation at 5pm so we could go to the 7:30pm showing of the "O" Cirque de Soleil show at The Bellagio. We spent the afternoon getting all dolled up and we headed to a delicious dinner at Brand steakhouse in the Monte Carlo hotel.

After dinner, we walked over to The Bellagio for the "O" show. It was an awesome display of aerial and aquatic acrobatics.

The next day we woke up and decided to walk the strip. We ventured down the street to the Planet Hollywood hotel for lunch at one of me and Andy's favorite burger joints. We first went to Cheeseburger when we were in Waikiki on our honeymoon, so when we heard there was one in Planet Hollywood, we knew we had to go! They have delicious burgers and fries! After lunch, we walked down the other side of the strip and headed back to our hotel. We took a little afternoon nap and then got ready for our last night in Vegas. We decided to cab down to the other end of the strip and then walk back to our hotel, catching all the fun nightlife and sightseeing we could during our walk. We started at the Encore and Wynn hotels and made our way back to NYNY.

All in all, we had a great trip to Vegas. I am so glad we were able to celebrate Andy's 30th in style! Andrew, you are the best husband ever and I love you so much! I hope you had a wonderful birthday and I am so looking forward to spending so many more birthdays together in the future :) Happy 30th!
