Once checked into our room, we freshened up a bit and went shopping at the Planet Hollywood Miracle Mile Mall. Matt immediately found the Volcom store (surprise surprise) and then we just sort of wandered around. After shopping, we went to grab a quick bite to eat at a Cafe Vettro back in our hotel. Matt quickly caught on to the fact that everything in Vegas is about 3x more expensive than at home.
After dinner, we attended the cocktail hour sponsored by HP. We had bottle service at our table, which was amazing, but I was only able to partake in the juice portion and left the grey goose to everyone else. The hostess did bring me a fun and yummy juice drink in a martini glass which made me feel special :) After the cocktail hour was over, everyone began to part ways and head out for a fun Friday night. I attempted to show Matt some of the strip, since this was his first time to Vegas. We made it across the street and went in to the Paris Hotel and then back across to Bellagio. We watched the Bellagio fountains and sort of felt like we were in Ocean's 11. Matt took a great video of the fountains on his new fancy phone. My feet and back, unfortunately, did not hold up very well and we started to head back to the hotel. We both felt lame going to bed around midnight in Vegas but we both were so tired that we just needed some sleep.
Saturday was another day filled with relaxation and fun. We began the morning bright and early at 7am and went to have breakfast together. Matt had to leave around 8am to make his 9am tee time at Desert Pines Golf Club. He departed and I headed back up to the room for a quick nap. At around 9:30, I headed over to the Aria spa where I had booked a maternity massage. The spa was amazing! I felt more relaxed just by walking in the room and drinking the lemon water! The massage was exactly what I needed and I left the spa feeling completely relaxed!
I, then, headed over to the concierge desk and purchased tickets to the Cirque du Soleil show Love (The Beatles tribute). Matt had never been to a Cirque show and I had only seen "O", so this was going to be quite a treat! After procuring the tickets, I headed off to grab some Thai food from a restaurant in the hotel named Lemongrass. Matt doesn't like Thai so I figured I would take this opportunity to get some while I was alone. I ended up seeing some other Zones employees at the restaurant and they graciously invited me to dine with them. Just about the time I was done with lunch, Matt called to say he was done golfing and heading back to the hotel.
Once he arrived back at the hotel, he was starving so we went to the Skybox (the sports bar in the hotel) where he ordered a big burger and I indulged in an apple crisp dessert. We waddled back to our room for a quick cat nap and then got ready to head out to dinner hosted by HP.
We had dinner at Mastro's Ocean Club and let me tell you...HP does it right! Everything on the menu looked delicious but Matt and I both a great mixed greens salad, a melt in your mouth steak with yummy sides and he had the chocolate cake while I had the cheesecake for dessert! They followed it up with a champagne toast with the entire group and everyone went their separate ways for the evening.
We hailed a cab (lame I know but come on...I'm 31 weeks and was wearing 4" heels...I wasn't about to walk!) and headed over to see Love. We made it with just enough time to use the potty and head in to the show. I think it goes without saying that all Cirque shows are amazing and this was no exception! The show was jam packed with energy, excitement and thrill! My favorite parts were the rollerbladers and the trampoline artists. We made our way back to the hotel and stayed up till 1 am!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!! Such rebels!!
We woke up bright and early again on Sunday, around 8am and splurged on the breakfast buffet! We both had a huge and filling breakfast at the buffet and, again, left the restaurant waddling :) We headed back to the room to pack and then met the team at the shuttle to head to the airport.
It was a quick and tiring trip but I'm glad that Matt got to see Vegas and we had one more little escape before Stella comes into our lives!
Next weekend is off to Seattle for the baby showers and then I'm officially done with traveling until after baby comes!
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
