BTW - the night before - we had your seats, which I thought were great!!!!! I kind of have to have the aisle because of the my tallness or it really is a bummer for EVERYONE behind me

Yes, you AND you hair looked fab.

I really liked my seats Sat. On Friday we had the whole Paul Stanely fiasco to deal with. What an ass.

Las Vegas marked my first time being out west. I've done the east coast crawl, i've been overseas, i've been to the islands but I had never been out west. The plane ride, though incredibly rough, gave some incredible views of the Rocky Mountains and my breathe was taken away at the sight of the Grand Canyon. The view of The Bellagio fountains and the mountains behind it from my room were amazing and honestly, the weather was a nice change from the humidity of New Jersey (I liked that dry heat except the day we walked most of the strip). It's an amazing place and I'd love to go back there again because I missed a lot. I dig the desert though...I can't think of a more beautiful place to live (perhaps not Vegas but...you catch my drift).

I loved the weather, I was all crabby today here cause it was really windy and cloudy/sunny - about 65 degrees. Vegas is okay, but everything is too expensive. My favorite hotel was the Luxor, loved the decor. I can't imagine living there, the city part is kind of ugly.

If you live here you have to go WAY outside of the strip where it doesn't look so ghetto. Then the houses and everything aren't so bad/ugly. I live about 10 + miles away from the strip.

I liked it too. It's frikkin COLD here today, blech. I have really thick, curly/frizzy hair so the dry air is good for keeping it under control.

Maybe it's because i've seen Fools Rush In too many times but don't many of the houses look the same? Are you in a development??

Oh, right. My hair looks better in the rain cause it gets more curly and full. My hair is thin as a wisp. But! Thanks to me forgetting my hair stuff, and the fabulous shampoo/conditioner combos they give you at the hotel, my hair was sizzlefried the whole time I was there...
Yeah, I thought your hair was pretty....

Thanks Amber, you're so free with your compliments. I wish I got to spend a bit more time with you. Everything was like a whirlwind but it was wonderful.

As far as hair products, let's see, I brought shampoo, conditioner, anti frizz gel, hairspray, and baby oil. Yes, baby oil for the ends, a little dab'll do ya. I am such a girlie girl.

It really depends on where and how much your house is. But for the most part your right. Alot of the new houses look exactly alike. You're not allowed to have grass because of watering restrictions, so all the yards look the same. Cactus and honeysuckle everywhere. Plus they're so close together, they remind me of the flats in England.

I just moved into a new development in Apr. Most of the houses look the same, but they're alot bigger and NOT on top of eachother.

Eh, I guess Amber is right. It is kinda ugly.

No prob! Why not be free with compliments? What am I saving them for? What comes around goes around.....still waiting.....
No, but yeah, I was pissed I didn't bring my conditioner, at least. But really, my hair rarely looks much better or much worse. I put oil on the ends of my hair sometimes, too, when it's too snizzly and broken. It works wonders.

Well, in case you haven't noticed, most people aren't so free with them as you are. It is a nice quality. I thought you were really cute with your little buns in your hair! Speaking of, I meant to mention I went to my cousin's dance recital on Sunday and lots of the girls in the show had their hair like that! Of course, they were wearing cat costumes. It made me think of you.

I was extremely uncomfortable being so hot and dry. I didn't like the desert air at all. I've never drank so much water in my life! And the climate really did a number on my skin. I still can't believe how moisturized Stevie's skin felt considering she lives in the desert.

I did love the actual city though (not the climate!) I thought it was insane that all the stores stayed open until three in the morning. Just the fact that you could go shopping at Gucci at midnight was kind of cool. And the food was fantastic. Cheesecake factory after the concert was great. Just thinking of their food is making my mouth water right now. The buffets were great. I can't believe I ate a buffet at midnight! So unhealthy, but so yummy! Did anyone else do the Paris buffet? It was fabulous! The cheeses alone were to die for.

I thought Vegas would be much more seedy then it was. It seemed more like a fantasy world then anything else. ALmost like Disney World, except it was real life.

I thought it was cool how they had escalators that brought you to the other side of the street so you wouldn't get run over.

One thing that was annoying was those guys that were passing out those stripper cards. Every single time we walked down the strip someone was shoving a half naked lady in my face. Those cards were all over the street!

All in all I liked Vegas but I don't know how those people can stand that dry air. I guess you get used to it. I would have liked it to be much cooler, but that is just me.

What did everyone else think of Vegas (not factoring in Stevie)?

i don't live there but do visit often since my ma lives there, i personally love the city, i agree w/ stevie when she says it is 1 of her fav cities, but she wouldn't want 2 live there~ i love 2 visit, there is always so much 2 do, never a dull moment, but i like goin' back 2 my slower paced life after~
