Sin City day 2

After sleeping in most of the morning from the late night, we cruised on over to the Exaliber for some lunch at the food court. The ladies spent most of the day just walking around shopping and seeing the sites, while the fellows got some gambling done! Bethany and I got in particular trouble at the Forum Shops in Ceasar's Palace. We found a Pandora shop, and each decided to get charm bracelets and spent a pretty penny on them!
Here's my pandora bracelet, it's still a baby and needs lots of charms!

That evening we were surprised with a limo ride to our evening plans: dinner and a show at the Mirage. We had a champagne toast while seeing the lights of Vegas from a classy limo with good friends. Life surely doesn't get better than this! After about an hour in the Limo, we arrived at the Mirage for dinner at a Brazillian steak house inside the hotel. It was quite delicious and filling, and I'm pretty sure we all got the meat sweats!
Then we were off to the show! Our entire group attended the Cirque du Soleil Beatles' LOVE show. But before the show, we got to spend a little time in the REVOLUTION lounge.

Here's Matt and Jason being goofy in the big U. I think we all had a lot of fun taking pictures in the letters.
The Matts, looking très chic, chat it up in the lounge.
While sitting down for drinks, they had these really cool tables that you could draw bubbles on with your finger, and then an animated jelly fish would trace the path you drew. There is really no other way to describe it than that.
The show was a lot of fun, but not quite as thrilling as some of the other Cirque du Soleil shows I've seen in the past. It seemed to be much more of a tribute to the Beatles than creative gasps of excitement, if you ask me. But since I am a Beatles fan, I still really enjoyed it.
After walking around on the streets for most of the day, we began a nightly routine before all parting to our personal quarters. That routine was chilling in our room and soaking our feet in the hot tub. Often this resulted in Jason in the hot tub with all the ladies: like so....
