THE UN-SINFUL SIDE OF VEGAS

Last weekend, two tired mamas sought R&R in sin city, Las Vegas.

Among the party goers and night crawlers, the two of us had an unconventional (and un-sinful) kind of fun.

What happens in Vegas...we pretty much defied that lingo by doing what overworked mamas do -- chilling, relaxing, and conducting girl talk.

See? You don't need a lot of booze and hard partying for a good time -- and our good time included:


Staying at the beautiful and modern Aria Hotel and Resort.
Can't say enough good things about it.




Aria at night.

A view of the mountain from our room

Spending Saturday morning at the luxurious Wynn Encore spa

Inside the gorgeous Encore.

Getting (un)dressed for a good time

Lounging after time in the sauna


 Spending the afternoon at Elements Salon and Spa

See the excitement on my face? Massage and facial time!

Attending a fabulous show at night

Please excuse my after-facial blotch

Chowing down delicious food

My gourmet -- and highly decorated -- burger

J's savory ahi

Sharing a creamy Nepolian

Walking around the strip

Miss the sun already

Taking a detour at Caesar's palace

And last but not least, spending time at H & M

Hmm...this season's Grandpa blazer looks awfully tempting.

Sure we dented our bank accounts, but it was worth every penny.

When was the last time you went on an R & R with your girlfriend(s)?

  10. Looks fun! I have a soft spot for Vegas since I was married there. Come to think of it I haven't been on a trip with my girl friends since I've been married.

  17. Aria looks like a beuatiful hotel. I would like to stay there one day, or even at Cosmopolitan but it's too expensive for me.

    So far, I have only stayed at Paris and Treasure Island.

    Your Vegas trip looks relaxing. I have only gone to party and have always needed a couple days to recover when I get home.
