Las Vegas Vision Expo West

Well, we just had to take advantage of the Vision Expo and had to force ourselves to take a trip to the playland of Las Vegas!!! What better excuse to visit Las Vegas than to have a Optometry Conference there? So off went the two Optometrists in the family with wives in tow and children left behind to play in the bright lights of Vegas! Me and Kev, Shawn and Stephanie. We had a great trip. Our little munchkins were left in the good hands of Stephanie's brother and sister and since it was all cousins together, they had a blast and we knew that they'd be happy. So with the kids taken care of, the parents could play. It was officially our first time ever away from Jadeyn, but we knew he was in good hands.
Kevin and Shawn did two days at the conference and built up their CE credits and really did enjoy it. Stephanie and I hit the town and the shops and then joined our men for the delicious buffets and evenings on the town!
Kevin has always wanted to stay at the Paris Hotel on the strip. It was the perfect place to stay: very elegant, conveniently located and the atmosphere was sweet!

We made sure that we had our evenings packed with food and shows. We ate at several buffets and then walked it all off on the strip. Kevin cracked us up at one buffet. Now he doesn't look like a guy who could take down eight desserts in one sitting, but try he did!



















Our favorite show was Le Reve. By far one of the most amazing shows we have ever seen. The entire show took place above, below, on and around a 10,000 gallon pool. Performers twirled above, dove into, submerged under and flew all over the stage. It was breath-taking. We would see it again several times in a heart-beat.



















While our husbands attending the Vision Conference, Stephanie and I hit madame Tusseau's Wax Museum and had fun taking pictures.





←You're going down Johnny Depp! → Me and Frankie!! Now this is one man that I would have loved to have met!

Me and Steph Uh, not too sure what to say about this next one...

Our last night in Vegas. Kevin and I couldn't imagine going to bed so we took one last evening to wander up and down the strip and take in the sights one last time. We people watched, watched the street performers and peddlers, the fountains and simply enjoyed the perfect 75 degree evening. What a perfect end for a great trip!
