I mentioned last month that my mom recently retired from Penney's. In order to celebrate we decided to make my trip back to Vegas a retirement party, as well as, a chance for me to meet our new tenants. I called her little sister, Sue in Reno and her older sister Karolyn in Montana and invited them to join us. Unfortunately Karolyn couldn't make it but Sue brought her daughter Shelby; we made it a mother-daughter retirement weekend. We had a blast! Mom and I don't get much alone time anymore so this was nice to hang out and really catch up. Plus, I love being able to take family and friends to all the cool places to eat and visit in Las Vegas. It's fun knowing some of the insider tips and secrets of Vegas.
The first night we walked the strip and took in the famous Bellagio Conservatory and water show as well as some late night crepes at the Paris. Sue and Shelby hadn't been to either of these casinos before.
The following day we headed off to Mandalay Bay to buy tickets for the Lion King but they were sold out. That didn't stop us from having fun. We took in the Aquarium at Mandalay Bay and we enjoyed lunch at the famous House of Blues.

Here comes trouble!
I did however score awesome discounted tickets for The Beatles Love Show with my military ID.
We also took in a few yummy restaurants including Samba Brazilian BBQ at the Mirage, Paymon's Mediterranean Cafe and Capriotti's Subs. Doesn't get any better than that folks!
We had a lot of fun and we hope to get together like this again soon.

Looks like so much fun. I am thinking you look a lot like your mom:) Did not see it when I was at your house, but I see it in these pictures.
Ahhh, what a blast! I actually own (but of course I do) the Beatles Love CD, but have never seen the show! What fun! Glad you all had it! (the fun, that is!) I love hanging out with my Mom, altho it is usually in the backyard with a drink. Still it is never time wasted! Moms are fab!
Looks like a fantastic trip! You'll have to let me know the fastest way to get to Vegas from here for a road trip.
How fun!!
Looks like a fun trip and gift for mom!
