We had started planning the mother/daughter trip back in February, I really don't think anyone thought all our talk would actually turn into a real trip, but it did! Jyoti Mami, Sapna, and Charlene were the first to arrive in Vegas on Thursday. The rest of us arrived on Friday after numerous flight delays :(
Glad that we all had finally reached, we started the weekend off with the show, Le Reve, in the Wynn Hotel. It was a pretty amazing show, with water acrobatics like 'O'. The few pictures I had on my digital camera are from that first night, which I posted here. Since most of us came directly from the airport to the show, skipping dinner, we went back to the Paris Hotel and ate crepes :)

Saturday we started our day off poolside at Bally's. Lounging in the sun drinking margaritas (virgin strawberry daiquiris for Nilam), we all just enjoyed being together (and away from our responsibilities at home). After baking in 100+ degree weather, we came back indoors and hit the black jack tables. That night we had a nice dinner out at Trevi in Caesar's Palace. Saturday night, mom and I played till the wee hours into the night (5am!) We had so much fun!!!
Sunday we walked over to Bellagio, to Olives (my pick) for brunch! We got an amazing table with a panoramic view of the fountains. After brunch/lunch, it was time for half of our party to head to the airport. Bhakti Masi, Lata Masi, Nilam, Aparna, my mom, and I were staying one more night before we head home.
We wandered through Bellagio, looked at the amazing gardens, and found my mom's favorite slot machine, Haywire. After making it back to our hotel. Half of us went to rest, and Aparna and I stayed to gamble some more. That night we had a post graduation celebration dinner over at La Salsa.
What a great great trip! Can't wait to plan one for next year ;)
