What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas

Jen, a friend from work, and I decided to do a little last minute trip for Spring Break this year :-) We tossed around the idea of a cruise but the flights were insane to Florida and California so we did some "last minute" searches and found a great deal to Vegas! I had been one other time but Jen had never been so it was pretty exciting! We stayed in the Tropicana...one of the older hotels but it has a great location on the strip. The room was pretty much like any other reasonable hotel room but the pool was amazing! (which was good because a lot of our time was spent there). My tour guide on my last trip to Vegas didn't teach me much about playing table games in the casino but showed me the basics of video poker:-) We pretty much stuck with the machines... a little (ok, a lot) intimidated by the hard-core gamblers. We had fun though! Jen was a little more daring .... I would cringe at losing my precious five dollar bill. I ended out on top ONCE but then of course went on to another machine and lost it. Oh well, it was fun:-)
Unfortunately, this drink wasn't as good as Jen was hoping it would be. She's probably going to kill me for posting this shot...oh well, she'll deal:-)

We really enjoyed checking out the themes (well Jen liked searching for a Game King machine, but still...) of all the hotels. The one above is the Luxor....very cool building. Everything inside was designed to resemble Egypt. Below was our favorite hotel, New York, New York. It was right across the street and had lots of good places to eat...and lots of Game King machines!
During our last night out we did some shopping in Caesar's Palace. Of course all the stores in there are a little too pricey for us, we did find a Bath and Body Works and an FAO Shwartz. I obviously had to play the big piano...yeah, i was pretty good at it.
