Well, Michael and I have been debating the merits of tours, shows, and casinos while we've been planning our trip, and yesterday we purchased the last little piece of it. Once I pay off Michael's credit card bill in April, which was how we paid for our hotel and airfare only, the entire trip will be paid for, apart from whatever we spend while we are there.
Every other day we'll go on a tour and on the other days, we'll enjoy all Las Vegas has to offer. We have three shows booked. So it's going to be amazing. Type A personality that I am, I have a full itinerary typed out, complete with our "to do" list for such things as picking up show tickets and we have to call the tour company with our room number once we arrive. My itinerary even has foot notes. Yeah, I'm nuts. But I love me for it.
So, here's the basic rundown...
Saturday is the Barry Manilow concert. Sunday we'll tour the Hoover Dam and see the Celine Dion concert. Monday will be Penn and Teller. And Tuesday we're taking an 11 mile cruise of the Colorado River and then a Hummer tour of the desert. I do feel sort of ecologically irresponsible for the Hummer tour, but it was either that or return to the Hoover Dam--those were our 2 Colorado River cruising options. The tour of the Grand Canyon we wanted to take was booked. :-(
So we'll be busy, busy, busy, and I'm sure when we get home, we'll be ready to collapse, but I'm as excited as I can be! I've also secured an official copy of our marriage certificate so we can renew our vows while we're there :-) hehehe Only 4 weeks and 2 days to go!!!!

2 pearl(s) of wisdom:
You guys are going to have a blast. I'll be there from April 29th till May 3rd but I'll be at a Microsoft (geek) conference. I noticed show prices are really expensive. I'll be going with 3 co-workers and the only set item on our to-do list is the Hoover Dam.
Where are you guys staying? Take some summer clothes with you. It was near 90+ degrees last week there.
Hey you! Long time no see!!
We're staying at Circus Circus. We got a pretty good deal on the room and flight combo from Travelocity. It should be fun. Mike LOVES roller coasters, so I'm sure he'll love the amusement park at Circus Circus, and my dad stayed there a couple of years ago and liked it a lot!
Can hardly wait :-)
