Las Vegas 2018
An adult trip to Vegas is an annual event for us! Every year my hubby and I take a “grown-up” trip to Las Vegas. We go in the middle of the summer when it’s nice and hot! It started out as a way to spend time together when the kids were little. Now it’s just a fun habit! It’s been so many years (at least ten), that we have a nice little routine – however, most years we do try to do a few different things. The last few years it’s been adding shows to the mix – which as you all know I LOVE shows, so that’s been fun.
We started this trip by leaving home at 6:40 AM and arriving at 7:30 AM (time changes are CRAZY). That meant a late afternoon nap was a must! Day one was spent checking out the changes on the strip, a little gambling, a slot tournament at Harrah’s (fun even if we didn’t win) and Happy Hour at the Yard House. It was an early night thanks to that early start!
Day two started with a morning at the pool. There is nothing like laying by the pool with a good book, tasty drink and no responsibilities …
The afternoon was spent walking down the strip, sushi for Happy Hour (see a trend here?) and then a very fun evening at Tape Face. He was so funny – if you are in Vegas, definitely go see this show!
We did a little more gambling after and then got a really good night’s sleep! More fun coming …
What is your favorite show in Vegas? Do you go to shows when you are in Vegas?

Your right! I love a good book and a pool! Great post!
I know – and it was especially special when the kids were little. That time to sit and read without being on constant mom duty was a real treat!
I can’t wait to visit Vegas with my husband. Thanks for sharing!
It is such a fun trip with your significant other! Friends too.
Vegas is a great place to play! My husband and I are due for another Vegas trip!
Better get it on the books!
I have never been to Vegas, but it is on our couples only travel list. We both want to see all the Cirque su Soleil shows. I want to see Celine *swoon* and now I want to see Tape Face. A little gambling would be fun, too!
Sounds like a perfect plan to me! Definitely a great couples trip. We’ve told our kids we will take them when they are 21.
We haven’t been to Vegas in years, cant wait to return.
Somehow it became an annual thing for us – and I’m totally cool with it!
Sign me up for the morning at the pool!
No kidding! Always a highlight of the trip for me!
Vegas has never been on my hit list, but I would like to see some shows there. What’s your favorite?
I love shows in general, but some of my favorites were Mama Mia, Tape Face, Jersey Boys and any show at the Coliseum (great theater).
We got married in Vegas in 2014 and i have been dying to go back ever since.
Anniversary trip sounds like a good plan!
We also go to Vegas once a year, last year’s trip was during the shooting, so that wasn’t super fun. We love to find shows to go to as well.
Melissa, that would have been awful. I’m so sorry you had to experience that.
Yes, I enjoy going to shows when in Vegas. They are always changing up the acts, which is a great reason to visit often. 🙂
Yes, I love that too- some of the shows we saw a few years ago are gone, but there are plenty of new ones to see.
