RobO’s surprise getaway for me was (drum roll) Vegas! He booked the Cirque de Soleil show ‘O’ which has been on the list for a while. It was excellent.
We spent the majority of our time enjoying good food, watching the Bellagio fountains, people watching, and walking for miles. A shout out to Wahlburgers – we went there twice because RobO loved the GF burger so much.
We visited downtown’s Fremont street and did the 1700 foot ‘superman’ zip line down the length of it. It was as cool as it sounds.
We enjoyed a performance by a ‘king’, and I was lucky enough to catch one of his cheap scarves!
Look who we managed to find! My parents also happened to be there following a drive down the Oregon coast!
On our last night we got tickets to the Michael Jackson Cirque de Soleil show ‘One’. When we arrived we got upgraded from the cheap bleeders to some lower bowl center seats! This was actually my fave Cirque of all the ones we’ve been to. I loved the dancing, effects, and I felt like I learned a lot about MJ.
Of course no trip to Vegas is complete without a few shenanigans…
All in all, we’re not really ‘Vegas people’, but it’s a pretty great place to spend a couple of days once in a while.
