GW (Girls Weekend), Las Vegas - Day One

Spending time with girlfriends is good for the heart.  So it's no surprise that living far away from all my girls for the last 2 1/2 years has been difficult at times.  I was beyond excited that somehow 12 ladies managed to have the same weekend available and we booked a girls weekend to Las Vegas!  My friend Jill's mother-in-law is a frequent visitor to The Wynn Hotel and Resort and scored us an amazing price to stay at this upscale place. 
7 of the 12 of us arrived on Thursday... and I wish everyone had been there that night, it was one of my favorites, we hit up a total dive bar, The Road House at the Imperial Palace. (Such a dive that there wasn't a bathroom, you had to leave out a back door, into the Imperial Casino to get to one).  We were treated complimentary bottle service (in addition to ladies got free drinks from 10-12), and our own space, and those that know me... I need a place to sit down, I just can't stand around all night.  Not that we were sitting all that much because they played fun music and were up on our feet rockin' out to Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, Justin Timberlake, etc. 
Pictures always tell a better story... (and since no one wants to bring a fancy camera out and about in Las Vegas, we used standard digitals and they aren't quite the quality)

Our dive bar was equipped with a fog machine...
Me, Katie and Ali... my matron and maid of honor in our wedding!
Staci and I "trapped" in a cage!
The waterfall outside at The Wynn... this was at the end of our night after the looonnng walk home.  (I was really grateful that I had packed flip flops in my purse). Between the bar and the hotel we realized it was past midnight and literally danced in the streets since it was officially then my BIRTHDAY! 
More to come on all that...
