Vegas Recap (Wednesday’s events…)

On Wednesday, we saw Brook Todd's presentation on Luxury Weddings and the vision for my new website that we're creating for this year came alive after that, I'm so excited. In fact, I started on the home page design last night and it is fabulous…it's SO me! (mostly pink, of course….)

After his presentation, I finished the last room of the tradeshow and found these awesome linen covered flushmount style albums that I'd like to start carrying this year. Their sample book has the couple's names spelled out in the beads on the outer cover and then the inside is like the usual hard board flushmount style albums but this one was designed with their engagement pictures inside! What a fabulous idea!! The couple could display the book in their home, bring it with them to their pre-wedding festivities, use it to display on the gift table at the reception, use it as a guest book, the possibilities were endless.

On Wednesday afternoon, we decided to go through some more of the various themed hotels in Vegas to see what all was there. We started at New York, New York, then went to MGM, Wynn & then the Bellagio where we finished off the night with dinner at the Bellagio followed by their water show that is timed to music, it was awesome!

Here I am all wrapped up in pink. 🙂

I LOVE this shot…in fact, I may enter it in the print competition next year…

Here are the lions at MGM…

And I'm hoping the glass doesn't break at this point….LOL

The wedding chapel at MGM….

The famous Elvis shot hanging on their wall…

I LOVED their entry at the Wynn, it was so beautiful…flowers were hanging down from the trees in various colors and made for some fabulous pics!

Here's the ornate tile walkway…

And the ceiling of parasols hanging down…

Here I am with dad in front of the waterfall at the Wynn….thank you to the random person who took this, it's one of our favorites! 😉

And it wouldn't be complete without a stop at Ethel's Chocolate lounge at the Fashion Show mall. My step mom loves Ethel M's chocolates so dad found this shop in the mall so he could bring her a box of her favorite chocolates back from Vegas.

Loved the colors in there…

We dropped off all of our shopping bags at Paris and I looked out the window and saw this beautiful sunset gracing the Eiffel Tower on our last night there….

Then we headed to the Bellagio where we had dinner and walked around the lobby taking pictures of the 2,000 hand-blown glass flowers from world-renowned artist, Dale Chihuly. It was incredible!

Their botanical garden inside was amazing…a combination of hand-blown glass and over sized exotic flowers made you feel like you were in a real life Alice in Wonderland experience.

Dad surprised me with a beautiful pink sapphire & diamond necklace on the last night of the trip as a special keepsake and remembrance of the great time we had together last week. It is so beautiful, thanks dad!! 🙂
