The Mystery is Solved!

So I don’t know how Andrew Hsu knew but he guessed right.  We went to Vegas.  This was a huge a surprise since we had just been there for our anniversary because my husband was attending a conference.  He thought I wouldn’t be that excited but it was so much fun.  We ended up staying at the Wynn.  I don’t know how much you guys remembered how I fell in love with it just visiting last time.  This time we stayed there and it was amazing.  The main reason we went is that last time we were in Vegas he heard me mention how next time we came I really wanted to go to a Cirque de Soleil.  Well he got box tickets to see La Rev and it was fantastic.  It was so fun because we had a great view of the show plus we got a little t.v. to watch to see behind the scenes, under the water, and above.  It was spectacular.  How they physically do some of that stuff is just mind boggling.  Here are some shots of the show and the pool.  I love how when you walk in the ceiling of the show is covered with this huge parachute.  You don’t know it is a big cloth and not the real ceiling until the show begins.  Then it gets sucked up in one big sweep.  Again no other word to describe it but AMAZING!  It was funny because when we were checking in this elderly lady was giving me the low down on the Wynn and what shows we should see.  What cracked me up was she said she hated Circque de Soliel.  That she could watch the Olympics and see all the same stuff.  I’m sorry but there was some things in strength control that just blew my mind.  The other thing she told me to do was to make sure I didn’t turn down the nighttime turn down.  Cracked me up!  The pool area was beautiful and relaxing.  You could eat by the pool and gamble if you wanted.  Since we were there for a couple of days we just relaxed.  In fact, I think it was so hot we never left the hotel grounds. We explored alot of the restaurants.Club house grill is our new favorite restaurant.  The food here is exceptional and worth every penny.  Barlotta was good but I think it was overpriced for what you got.  But if you ever have the chance go to Club house grill at the Wynn.

    Between guessing your mystery trip and guessing Stacie Tamaki’s mystery trip, I’m like Carmen Sandiego!
