For Kelinda

In a little more than a week I'll be heading to Vegas for a few days with my bestest friend, Kelinda. We have almost identical likes and dislikes, so it should be an amazing trip. I've been to Vegas three times in my life. The first time was with Kyle. We got engaged over New Years with fireworks at midnight – definitely the best of the trips.


The second was with a mix of friends, who I love individually, but let's be honest, the group didn't mesh well. The third trip was last year for Dad's surprise birthday weekend. It was fun, but kinda exhausting for then pregnant me.

Sooo, with a few trips under my belt I'm searching for some new things to see. Google hooked me up with this list of 100 things to do in Vegas. I've added some notes of my own.
