Las Vegas

Hello everyone! Well this is the update from Vegas! As u guys know - or don't - last week me and some friends had the opportunity to go to Vegas for the Boston and Styx concert! It was freakin' awesome!!! I'm going to summarize the road trip because my brain feels dead right and I don't think I will be able to remember all the details.

Friday about 2:00pm me, Brian and Rome left for Vegas. We came prepared and I brought some granola bars, Rocky 5 and 6, First Knight and some other movie that I haven't seen. On our way there we watched the two Rocky's that I was missing. Before we knew it we were in Vegas and it was so HOT!!! As u guys know I'm not very fond of the hot weather, and my body refuses - most of the time - to adapt to it, so yeah I was dying. As we got there we took a shuttle to go the strip. It took us a long time to decide what to eat for dinner. After a whole lot of walking we decided to go to Caesars Palace to Planet Hollywood. I had a very yummy chicken sandwich! It was great! After that we walked and decided to go to Treasure Island to gamble a little bit. Well Brian and Rome ended up winning 20 bucks, as for me I lost 5 bucks - this shouldn't be surprising to anyone. And then we just went to bed as we were pretty exhausted from the trip.




Saturday morning we woke up - after a night of not sleeping - and decided to go to New York New York and go to the roller coaster. It was pretty fun! I was screaming like crazy and after that ride I'm pretty sure my hair died...oh well. After that we ate the best and greasiest pizza EVER!! it was sooooo good!!! just to think of it makes me hungry again!!! Then we came back, surviving the heat of course - and we got ready for the concert. The concert was AMAZING!!! Styx sounds exactly the same as they do on their album. The guy who was playing the keyboards was absolutely insane!!! He was jumping around on stage, playing backwards, having fun on his rotating keyboard and taking polaroid pictures and throwing them to the audience! it was HILARIOUS! Anyhow, then Boston took the stage and even though they were amazing as well, it just didn't sound the same. The lead vocalist(s) had trouble getting to the high notes, and in some songs just as "More Than a Feeling" he just couldn't make it. But oh well, no complaints here a weekend with Boston is better than any other weekend. We came back, and I was just exhausted!!!!! I dunno what happened but my energy just died and we went to bed...oops.

















Sunday we woke up - after another night of not sleeping - and we went to Johnny Rockets for breaskfast/lunch and then we took off to Provo. On the way back we watched First Knight and I took a little nap hehe. This trip was a ton of fun! But I'm pretty sure I'll need weeks to recover from it physically and financially haha....Anyhow, Vegas rocks and it was great to get away for a weekend.
