Luck be a Lady Tonight

Day 4-5 of our much needed Mommy and Daddy vacation or should I say, Husband and Wife :) We decided to check out the City Center which is the Aria and Cosmopolitan. None of this was even started when we were there last. I guess this the the "hip" place to stay in Vegas now. However, we went through the Bellagio to get there which is connected by a free monorail. Here is the garden area in the Bellagio and all set up for fall.
On the way back to the hotel for a nap, we stopped to play 3 card poker at Bally's and we did pretty well :)
Our evening plans were to see the Cirque KA show at MGM. We've seen O already so were anxious for this one.
But before we got there, we stopped back at Bally's at the same 3 card poker table and did REALLY well!!
The show was good, not as fantastic as O or even La Nouba in Orlando, but we enjoyed it. It's just nice to go to fancy shows with your hubby!! After we headed to Nine Irish Men restaurant which was in NY NY and the food was ok. We had great seats in front of the band. We headed back to the room, but stopped to see the lights of the city and the Bellagio water show.
And you can't go to Vegas without a celebrity sighting. Ok he may not be a true celebrity, but we saw Turf. Turf was one of the top acts in America's Got Talent this past summer. He is a street dancer who can do all sorts of contortionist acts with his arms and body. So gross, but you can't not watch!! They were street performing!
Our final day in Vegas, we strolled around some more before heading to the airport.
What a fantastic recharging vacation and we went home with $380 more then with we came!! I love spending time with my hubby alone, but I did miss the kids. I know it's important as a couple to take time for ourselves which we tend not to. We're are going to try to make it a priority to do date night monthly!! Kids are important, but a strong relationship with your husband is important too!!
