Our last day in Vegas was a success. . .
Conference time.. . followed by breakfast at Mon Ami Gabi –> also known as the place with the world’s best French toast. Scott and I ate here twice on our last trip because the French toast is that amazing!
Perfectly thick bread, lots of blueberries, blueberry syrup and a mound of fresh whipped cream. . . I am drooling just thinking about it again!!
Then, a walk down the strip to work off our breakfast. We walked through New York New York, MGM Grand – we wanted to see the lions, but did you know that they retired them a year ago!?! Laura was super bummed. I tried to make it up to her by taking her to M and M world. . .
Back to the hotel for more pool time. .. while it was like 90 degrees out, it was so windy! So it was actually sorta chilly at the pool. We hung out in the chairs in the water for a while and eventually I got cold enough that I went into the hot tub! I know, 90 degrees and I am sitting in the hot tub. It felt so good! 
A few pics from our hotel – The Cosmopolitan – so pretty and sparkly everywhere!
Then, we headed over to the Bellagio – watch the fountains (probably my favorite thing in Vegas!)
and then picked up tickets for “O” and headed to dinner at the Bellagio Buffet. And yes more pics of dessert. We compared the Bellagio buffet to Cesar’s palace and because I know you are all on the edge of your seats, we agreed that Cesar’s was better, had more food options and was overall better quality, Bellagio had better desserts. 
Then, it was time for the show!
“O” is a cirque de solei show that uses a water tank for part of the stage. It was about 90 minutes long. The stage was super cool how it moved and was sometimes water and sometimes not. There was a lot of acrobatics, diving, synchronized swimming and (per Laura) weird clowns. We have both seen LOVE before and really liked that one and thought that one was better, a more cohesive show with a story than “O” but we still were glad that we saw this one too.
And then some time just relaxing in bed, watching TV. One thing that I really love about hotels is all the pillows and watching TV from bed – 2 things that I don’t have at home!
And then it was light’s out for our early morning wake up call of 5:30am.
Only to get to the airport and have our flight delayed by an hour. Thankfully, I had Starbucks and Laura to keep me busy.
Finally we got on the plane and headed back to MN. We were totally bored, so we played a couple of games. . . 1. guess what famous person I am thinking of by asking yes or no questions (we had to guess Kate Middleton, Keith Urban, Jeff Probst, and Kate Spade) and 2. make up a story by each saying a word at a time –> we ended up with a story about a pig eating spaghetti and meatballs.
And I had her be my random number generator for the Chobani giveaway. . .
