Viva Las Vegas!

Well, since you asked, jettybetty:

My husband and I had another glorious weekend in Las Vegas. This time we shared it with our special friends: Kim & Clark, Elvis, and The Blue Man Group! And not Barry Manilow, boo hoo!

My great friend Kim invited us to join them in Las Vegas to surprise her husband Clark for his 40th birthday. We have wanted to go on a trip with them for quite awhile and this was the perfect opportunity!

Kim had a great plan to surprise Clark. Kevin & I met a limo in front of The Venetian and snuck inside. Clark got in the limo and we yelled "Surprise" (of course). He was speechless and totally shocked! The limo took us to The Elvis Chapel! Kim had arranged for Elvis ( yes, he is alive) to renew their wedding vows! Awesome, huh? It was a hoot!

The chapel was very quaint. Not long after we arrived, Elvis greeted us! Elvis is looking really great for his age, don't you think? We took a few pictures with him and then we proceeded with the ceremony. Elvis walked Kim down the aisle as he sang a song. It looks like Kim was crying but we were all actually laughing hysterically. He led the ceremony- they exchanged vows and rings. He then sang another song. We took more pictures and went on our marry way.

The next night we experienced "The Blue Man Group". It was totally different than I expected it to be - really interesting and funny! The only disappointing part of the whole weekend was that Barry wasn't in town. We have to go back to see Barry! I missed you, Barry!


Other pictues from the weekend:
Shrimp Scampi, a famous scandelous ex-baseball player(do you know who it is?), The gardens in the Mirage, and dinner at The Venetian.
That's all the pictures I can show you because you know:
What happens in Vegas - Stays in Vegas! lol

Great pictures! Looks like y'all had a great time. And the shrimp scampi looks delicious!

I'm not so sure about the Blue Man Group, though. They kind of freak me out...

Looks like fun. I like your comment, "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas." Cute! Thanks for sharing what you could ;)

Elvis is looking great! I guess at some point you do start taking off years instead of adding them?

Good girl for taking pictures of your food! ;-) Looks yummy!

What a surprise for your friend! Looks like you had a great time--sure you don't want to let a bit more out 'bout what really happened?
