Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!! Vegas was a blast but my pocketbook definitely did not have fun. That new Sex and the City slot game took way too much money from me. Kelly why didn't you stop me?!?! Haha, she tried. Also, I got my first player's card! Whoo hoo! From Bill's Gambling Saloon. Oh no, I'm turning into a gambler...
We had some great food there as usual and saw Mystere (Vegas's first Cirque du Soleil show) at Treasure Island. It was a great show and I highly recommend that or Beatles Love if you visit Vegas. Next time I'm there I am definitely seeing Cirque du Soleil's "O" at the Bellagio. We did go to the Bellagio for a champagne brunch. It was wonderful! They had such a variety of food (which I think I tried a little bit of everything) ranging from Eggs Benedict to lamb to sushi to crab legs, to mini carrot cake and cheesecakes. Yum! Plus, the mimosas I had were delicious. I'm determined to either go to or have a Champagne brunch once a month in Chicago - even if it's just Stella and I.
Friday after the brunch was a bit of a waste as we spent the entire day indoors gambling, then we ate some more at Margaritaville. Don't order the Volcano nachos unless that's the only thing you have for the table! WAYYYY too much food. I had to go to bed after Margaritaville as I stuffed myself full and I think I developed a hangover from the Champagne brunch and "free" Gin and Tonics gambling.

Christmas Day was our sightseeing day! Erin and I ran 4.5 miles from Harrah's to the Stratosphere and back and then I dragged everyone around the various casinos and hotels to show Kevin (who's never been to Vegas before) all the cool sights.
After about 6 miles of walking, no one was that fond of me and we all went our own ways until dinner at The Range. There was lots of surf and turf eaten as well as some awesome french onion soup in an onion(!!!) and mutant cheesecake. We stuffed our faces again, but us Groark girls really know how to eat. We're essentially bottomless pits.

Those pepperoni sticks were key. That was at the 2 mile mark of our 6 mile walk. Don't know we all would have made it without rations.
