Hey everyone
we've had trouble with our Internet in our rooms here in Vegas so I have a few days of updates in one hit
So we left Dallas with issues occurring at each turn
first our pick up shuttle wouldn't confirm our booking, then the emergency number was saying there was no record of the booking & then there was but it didn't have the confirmation number super shuttle wanted argh!! In the end after trying for 24hours with calls to super shuttle, the emergency contact in NY & our TA replacement the emergency contact had to ring and tell them they had to pick us up because there was a booking.
Then came the doozy. We arrived to check in at DFW for our Vegas flight and only ONE of the FOUR tickets had been entered properly
now this was a flight United booked for us after cancelling the one we booked so it was their stuff up. But still 40 mins at the desk, with 3 Frontier staff trying to help along with a guy from the Australian emergency contact number (who was awesome though he couldn't do much) so in the end they managed to fix it up and we were on our way
but then when boarding someone was already in Bec's seat so they made her wait to board till it was sorted out which was not fun while three if us sat on the plane!
Vegas has been good, I'm not into drinking ect so four days is plenty for me
Aria is amazing, beds are really comfy & easy to sleep in. First night we did Hard Rock Cafe for dinner and a few shops around it.
Second day we finished off M&M world before spending the day at the South outlets. OMG!!! We spent up big there, I had 12 shopping bags and all out bags covered the king bed when we got back that night
we had shakes/coffe for breakie, pretzels for lunch and stopped at Denny's for dinner and did Coke before heading back to the room. Some of the things I bought at the outlets include my leather cowboy boots, a Belle precious moments figurine and Nike joggers
Third day I felt like crap lol I have a cold and it gave me no energy this day. It started well with an early morning helicopter flight to the Grand Canyon, landing at the bottom for a champagne breakie. Only 3 of us went and we scored the front seats without paying $50 each
once we landed Bec spilt my champagne all over my shorts and jacket
we saw a squirrel and a chipmunk while we were there and then headed back to the hotel. I slept while they had breakie, then we went up to the North outlets via Freemont street which was interesting. I grabbed a maccas cheeseburger $1.07 with tax
I felt like crap at the outlets and they aren't as good as South so I only got a few things but I did get a Snow White Swarovski figurine
it is so beautiful!!!! Then back to the hotel for a Pringles and Cadbury fruit & nut chocolate dinner then bed while the other went out for dinner and exploring.
Fourth day we grabbed maccas breakie before going North up the strip, we got Human Nature tickets at the Imperial Palace for our last night, went on the outdoor gondolas at the Venetian before going back up to the North outlets to collect a bracelet Sam #2 had lost the previous day. We went back to Swarovski where I got a ring and a pressie for my mum :flower3 then I went into Guess accessories which I had skipped the previous day when I felt sick. I got myself a handbag & match wallet for less then the original price of the bag including tax
Then we made our way back down the strip, stopping at Stratosphere for Bec to do the three insane rides, grabbing slices if pizza for dinner while we waited. Then back to the hotel to get ready for Human Nature
we missed half of the first song due to traffic while one the bud but we had a booth at the back right next to an Aussie family! The show was amazing!!!! I got quite a few videos before a lady told me to stop but meh they never brought me the drink I asked for so I don't care
after the show three of us bought their latest CD to get signed and got a photo of us with the four boys!!!! Argh so exciting and the three ladies we also bought CD's for extremely jealous!
Then we walked up to IT to see the Sirens show which I videoed, then we walked back to the Bellagio to see the fountains. We caught the end of one from right at the end and then waited for another from the middle. Videoed both
then we walked back to Aria, grabbed some gelato (yummy!!) and did a few pokies. I did Grease, Clue, Alice in Wonderland, Pink Diamond, Gone with the Wind and another 1c machine. I won on Pink Diamond so I broke even exactly, putting $5 in and getting $5 back
Now it is 10.30am and I'm still in bed, packed to go while two of the girls went to the pool area to go in the spa lol grabbing breakie at the cafe before a bit if shopping across the road before late check out at 12pm and pick up at 3pm
Next stop San Francisco
then you buy coupons to get food rather then paying when you line up 0.50 cents per coupon & only slight mark ups on drinks ect. 
but it does close tomorrow so it makes sense.
