What Happens in Vegas.....

Before I start my blog, I want to thank you all for reading. These past 2 weeks you all have generated  $6 in ad revenue for myself and my wife by clicking on the ads from this page. Thank you, with that money we will go see a movie at the cheap theaters. I encourage you all to click on the ads that interest you. They are not viruses. 


Now on to the blog post.


So if you have been reading my blog then you know that Melissa and I have been planning on a trip to Vegas. We went and came back already and it was an amazing. Let me tell you about the weekend.


It was the best weekend ever. Any chance to escape the small town misery for some big city action is welcomed with open arms. 


We left Thursday after class and drove straight through to Nevada but before we arrived we stopped for dinner at In-n-out burger which was awesome. We love that place.


Friday we just relaxed. We went to Mandalay Bay to go to the Shark aquarium, it was great to get out of the 114 degree weather and chill indoors. We then went to California Pizza Kitchen. I love that place. We got the roasted vegetable salad and my favorite pizza, the Thai Chicken. We then went home to relax. To prepare for the next day.


Saturday was the best day. We went to Caesar's palace and found great parking and made our way through the casino to Mesa Grill!!! Bobby Flay's Restaurant!!


We were so excited to eat the food of an iron chef....the anticipation was getting to us.

This was my second time and Melissa's first so I did most of the ordering (Melissa HATES ordering, she always prefer that I pick her dish most of the time)


While we were waiting for our food we got some goodies.


Blue Corn Muffin
JalepeƱo Cheddar Biscuits
A blue berry thing of some sorts...

All of these things were to DIE for. 

We then got our appetizer.
Smoked Salmon and Dill Quesadillas with a citrus sauce on top.

We Loved it! It was one of the best quesadillas I have ever had. I liked how unique and origional it was. 

And so did Melissa.


Our Entrees
New Mexico Style Pork Sandwich 

With southwestern style fried

Yucatan style Grouper

Sharing is caring at Mesa Grill.

We loved our entrees. The best sandwich I have ever tasted and the best fish that has ever made its way into my mouth. YUM.

Now for dessert
Deep dish banana cream pie.

Toasted coconut layered cake.

These two dishes were just as good as everything else we ate. 

After eating there we had to walk off the amount of food we overate so we went to walk the strip, we looked at the belagio and walked the strip. We then went to the Top of the Stratosphere where we road a ride. That was a trip. The building is already over 100 stories!! and to then go on a ride already up here is soooo crazy, but it was really fun.
Best weekend of our marriage.

I love my wife and would have just as much fun in Rexburg, BUT we are so happy to have been able to leave the state of Idaho for a wonderful relaxing vacation
