Rusty had a conference in Las Vegas and it fell amidst our birthdays so I flew out to join him for a couple of days. Neither of us were impressed with Vegas the last time we visited 14 years ago so we just looked forward to spending time with each other. However, this time I did find a few redeeming qualities in Sin City though...
The Temple of which I was in tears because it was such a welcome relief from mortal realms.
Running the Strip because it was the only time of day where there is a calm before the stampede of people all day and into the night.
Unicyclist in hot pants at Circus Circus who was fabulously funny compared to the cheesy and seriously S-T-U-P-I-D Sirens of TI.
Lion Habitat at MGM where the Lions came right up to the window to eat and the lioness ate right out of the trainer's hand like a kitten.
Freemont Street because it was MY Woodstock with Viva Vision (Did ya' see the olympics), 80s music, & lots of happy people. A meth/crack addict even got Rusty to 'bust a move' with her. It was great!
And we didn't have to pay a cent to experience these shows. ;o)

I was a young women when the Las Vegas temple was built. We went together as a young womens group during the open house. It was an experience I will never forget. That is truly a special place in such a disater of a city. I am so glad you had a great time and Happy Birthday!!!
I have been wanting to take a trip there for awhile now since it has been like 30years since my last. Everytime we think of going Disneyland always wins out:)
I'm glad you guys got to do something fun for your birthdays... even though it was work related. Have a blast tonight. You're gonna love it!
