Christmas 2008

So Vinnie and I had decided about 6 months ago that we were going away for Christmas we were going to Vegas Baby, no tree no decorations just us getting on a plane and flying somewhere not so cold.

Every year we have to travel miles and miles to spend 1 to 2 days then come home again.

Well in September a friend gave us buddy passes to fly anywhere that airline flew . So we decided to go to Las Vegas at the end of November. that meant no christmas holiday.

But dec 10th hit and we dicussed it again so on Fri the 12th on the phone we decided to go to Vegas again . Vinnie booked the tickets and I had to look after the Accomadations. Well I wanted a suite as when we stayed at the Luxor it was wonderful. so I found us a deal at the Venetian

We had a blast we got to see three shows that's three more than I expected
as when we went in November we only saw one Mamma Mia.

Mama Mia

It was wonderful I cannot say enough how much I lourved it even though you hear me say over and over "No More Fucking ABBA" a line from one of my favorite movies: The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert

A little Sound Bite from Priscilla.


The First show we were able to attend was The Jersey Boys It is a musical based on the life of Frankie Valley and The Four Seasons I would have to say that this was the best show we saw it was awesome.

The next show was LaReve at the Wynn It was by far the most exciting show their was so much going on that your brain couldn't keep up it was very exciting and breathtaking, you never knew what was going to happen next.

On our last night in Vegas we saw Bette Midler live at the Colleseum at Caesars Palace. I have always enjoyed Bette Midler and this show was great I was dissapointed though she sang only a few of her old songs and then she included the mermaid Delores Delago I did not enjoy this part of the show at all she can dump this part and it wouldn't hurt anyone's feelings it was stupid her and the cast were dressed up in mermaid outfits driving around stage in amigo chairs (not entertaining) and it took up valuable time from the show. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed the show, she include some showgirl stuff the Caesar Salad Girls put on quite a performance .

We also went shopping at three different centres two Outlet malls one in Vegas and one on the Nevad/California border called Primm it was excellent many bargains were found Vinnie bought 4 pair of Pantzes.

We also spent a day out at Red Rock canyon it was really cool . Nice to get away from the shiny lights and all the short foreign people who drove me completely crazy as they have no clue on how to walk down the street they just stop in the middle of 1,000's of people stupid I say.
