We headed off on Friday afternoon, got to St. George, and stopped to watch the Lion King in 3D. I probably had not seen that movie since I was like 7! It was like a trip back in time. I mean, we had to see it. It's the one chance in our lives to see the Lion King, in 3D, in a movie theater. And that chance only lasted for two weeks. So it was amazing.
Then we got back on the road again and got to Vegas around 8:00 Nevada time, dropped our things off, and hit the strip! We met up with a bunch of other people from SUU and some boys that went to Alta. It's so weird because I didn't even know Jake, Colby, and Stacy that well in high school, (or anyone at my high school for that matter) but as soon as you see them after graduation, you're best friends. It's pretty cool.
Anyway, the seven of us (me, Marissa, Keiranne, Melissa, Stacy, Jake, and Colby) went to find some interesting things to do. We ended up getting creeped on by Caesar, meeting a talking tree, looking at the Fountains of Bellagio, witnessing some mind-blowing magic, getting shocked by a fake lighter, playing spin the bottle (even though the romantic kiss in front of the fountains never went down), mcchillin at McDonald's, and pretty much everything other than seeing the lions at the MGM Grand. But that was really the only disappointment of the night. We finally got picked up in the valet of the Cosmopolitan by our high class limo driver.... or by Brigham in his orange land cruiser. Either way it was stylish.
You would think that our night ended then, but we actually hung out in the apartment parking lot for like an hour because the boys had to show off all the cool stuff they got in California last week, and their pictures, and chat about controversial topics. But it was still a good time. Beats sleeping at least! Cause who does that! But really I enjoyed it.
The next morning we woke up bright and early for some Del Taco (as always!) and some hardcore shopping at Urban Outfitters and H&M. We spent way too much money, but you don't go to Vegas every day!
This is when we meet our worst enemy: Las Vegas roads. We probably left for the football game at like 4:30 and spent an hour going in circles. Why would there be two streets named Russell Road? That's all I want to know. Seriously. Why.
We finally made it there, claimed some seats in the endzone, and proceeded to watch SUU destroy UNLV 41-16, despite the Rebels' excessive trash talking. It felt dang good to revive the old "Scoreboard! Scoreboard!" cheer.
All in all, I must say it was a great weekend. Las Vegas, I'll be back to see you soon.
