Several months ago, Andrew surprised me with a trip to Vegas to see Michael Buble in concert. I have to say, on most days I love Andrew because he’s a great husband, blah, blah, blah, good provider, yadda, yadda, yadda, attentive father, yeah, yeah, yeah…but this trip…this trip made him THE BEST HUSBAND IN THE WORLD! Seriously, this was the BEST little trip with the best husband.
Here we are at the airport at 6 AM about to fly to Vegas.
We’ve arrived at our hotel, The Bellagio. Less than a year ago, we visited actual Bellagio, Italy. I guess you can say we’ve come full circle this year :).
We checked into our room at 8:30 AM and headed off to a hotel restaurant for breakfast.
Then, we went to check out our room. It was sooooo nice! The Bellagio is everything you would think it would be.
And look at our view! We were on the 22nd floor with floor to ceiling windows over-looking the famous Bellagio fountains and The Paris hotel. How cool is that?! Seeing the fountains AND the Eiffel Tower at once.
For lunch, we headed to Caesar’s Palace and had lunch at Bobby Flay’s Mesa Grill. Our burgers were very good!
Headed off to dinner! (Can you tell we focused on food a lot this weekend?)
Andrew had made us reservations at a steak restaurant on the top of the Palms Hotel. It was named “best view of the strip”. I would agree. This is the view from our table on the 55th floor.
We walked through Paris on our way to see our show.
Here we are at Cirque du Soleil’s “O”. We had 2nd row seats. This was my 4th Cirque show and hands down, without a doubt the best one. I could have seen it 4 more times in a row.
This is the view from our hotel room. The Bellagio fountains went off every 15 minutes at night.
It just doesn’t get better than this!
On Saturday morning, we got up to do some more shopping.
Then we went back to Venice (but this time, it was the Venetian Hotel and not Italy).
I think the Venetian Hotel is beautiful too.
So here we go…the real reason we went all the way out to Vegas. Yeah, the food was great, the hotel was fabulous, “O” was awesome, but the real reason we flew to the desert was to see my Michael Buble. Here I am with my tickets about to head to the concert.
Ok, so we stopped to eat again before the concert. A girl has gotta eat, right?
Ummm…Andrew failed to mention that he had gotten us floor seats. We were 19 rows back. By this point, I was completely ecstatic. Seriously…I’m anticipating the knock on my front door any day now with a man serving me my restraining order. I just love Michael Buble :).
No matter how many times we see him in concert, we always think he out does himself. This was my favorite of his concerts so far. This Vegas night was his last concert in North America for the year. We were the 40th city in his 40 city tour, so he made some changes, added some songs, and gave us the performance of the tour (his words, not mine).
He’s walking past us now to the center of the floor. I’m not great at taking pictures while the object is moving…sorry!
So, half way through the concert, Buble says that since it’s his last concert of the tour, his entire family and fiance came to watch. There were over 30,000 people in the MGM Grand Arena and when the spotlight hit his family’s seats, they were NEXT TO OURS! We were sitting next to his family the entire time and didn’t realize it. There was my seat, Andrew’s seat, a three foot walkway then his parents’ seats. This is his mom and dad. He introduced them and his grandparents to the audience. Crazy, huh?
The cute blonde is his fiance. It was really sweet watching her watch his concert. She co-stars in his “Haven’t Met You Yet” video.
Confetti falling on us!
The strip as we were walking home.
We had a fantastic time! It was a wonderful, wonderful weekend…but look what we had waiting for us when we got back to Dallas…
Seriously? How did I get so lucky as to have the one guy cuter than Michael Buble living in my house?
Thank you Andrew Shull! XOXO
