Bright Lights, Big City: Part 1.

It's about time I posted some pictures from our Vegas Vacation, so without further ado...

Our first stop was dinner at the Planet Hollywood casino.

The pu-pu platter was a real treat...complete with fire!

Coincidentally, Planet Hollywood was the site of the SAW 5 world premiere. So, we hung out by the red carpet for a while and caught a glimpse of a few "stars". (I say that loosely because we really didn't know they were.) Yes, that IS Luke from the Gilmore girls.

Then, the Corns arrived. I was super happy to see Steph again...

...and Chris was elated to see Stephen.

Our first stop was the Venetian, home of the Vegas Blue Man Group.

We really enjoyed having my family along for the adventure, too!

Being in St. Marks Square just inspires love, don't you think?

We took a gondola ride through the canals...so great!

Our very entertaining gondolier had the hots for my mom (taking the picture), and proceeded to serenade us with "Stacy's Mom".

Because this was Chris' first visit to Vegas, I wanted to hit up as many hotels as possible. Here, we check out the Luxor with Stephen and Steph.

Then we got ready for the big show of the weekend...the Beatle's "LOVE" at the Mirage.

As Vegas nightlife heated up, there was the usual display of skanky girls and shady guys...here, Stephen demonstrates the "popped collar, lots of chest hair look," which is alive and well in sin city.

We ended Day 1 with a spectacular view of the Bellagio fountain. Always beautiful to behold.
