I LOVE LAS VEGAS! I have had work and play bring me to the adult playground called Las Vegas. US Youth Soccer had their Annual Meeting there in 2001. Young American Bowling Alliance (YABA) had their International Workshop there in 1996. And the National Funeral Directors Association had their Annual Convention there in 2003. In addition to their convention business, Las Vegas is known for their gambling and wedding chapels. Well, what more could we want...we love to gamble so in July 2002 David and I chose to “run off to Vegas” to get married. It was a very nice ceremony, perfect for us given that this was a second marriage for both of us.If you’re already married and not loo...Read More

Cheesy as it sounds, a Las Vegas wedding can be romantic and all a woman can hope for on her special day! Given this would be a second marriage for each of us; we didn’t want to go the church route. David and I had been planning a summer wedding, in Las Vegas, but we had to accelerate our date due to other mitigating circumstances (and no, I wasn’t pregnant!). I spent days and days looking at websites of all the Las Vegas chapels checking out the prices, services, and even the live web-cam on one of them. Want to have some fun, just watch live video of people getting married in Vegas. We saw people dressed in everything from formal wear, tuxes, and the like...to shorts and tank tops.We ...Read More

Our wedding night celebration included dinner after the ceremony at the Steakhouse at Camelot in the Excalibur Casino & Hotel. As their fine dining establishment in the Excalibur Casino & Hotel, expect it to be pricey. There were no prices in the menu, but we were not dining based on costs. It was our wedding night and we were looking forward to a great meal.With everything a la carte, we chose to start with a Caesars salad prepared tableside. This would be a theme throughout our meal. After salad, they rolled a cart of meats to our table when my now husband (smile) selected our steaks. The chef then came out to the table and asked how we wished to have our selection prepared. With a ...Read More

For our wedding trip to Las Vegas we stayed at the Excalibur Casino & Hotel. All of the services that we wanted were available including a hair salon for my special day. While much more pricey than I’m used to paying in Milwaukee, I was very pleased with how my hair was styled.One of the things the Excalibur is known for is their Tournament of Kings dinner show. Priced at around $40 to $45 per person, it is a fun night of dining and entertainment. The meal is served in medieval style with no silverware and large stein type mugs for your beverage. So you may wonder how you eat without utensils. The first course is soup served in a pewter type bowl with a handle. So no problem there! ...Read More

New York, New York Hotel & Casino. This is absolutely our least favorite casino to play in. Hands down, we have lost more money here than any other casino in Nevada! With that being said, it is a “must go” stop on our trips to Las Vegas for one reason and one reason only...the ROLLER COASTER!!!For thrill seekers, this indoor-outdoor coaster is a great ride. Coming from the dark of inside to the bright sunlight outside can be blinding which only adds to the rush. There are spiral barrel rolls and drops that make you feel weightless in your seat. Thankfully you are strapped in tight enough to not go anywhere. At totaled, this coaster is just over 200 feet tall and makes drops of nearly 1...Read More
