In a city full of glitz and glitter – you wouldn’t think that there is very much to do there for couples who want to get away on a “Romantic Getaway”, but I am here to show you that you can have a fab time there, full of fun and romance, without getting caught up in the glitz and glitter part of it. It is not very often that my husband and I can get away for a night together, let alone four days and three nights. Our wonderful family is helping us out by watching our kids for us for four days so that my husband and I can spend some time together.
We are going to Vegas – because that is where we went on our honeymoon, and I think it would be fun to go back 11 years later and see everything again – and experience new things. We are working with some amazing people who have been able to help us plan the perfect vacation. We want to have a romantic getaway – and I think that it will be just that.
I want to tell you about all of the amazing things that we will be doing and tell you about where we will be staying because we think they are the Best Places to stay and play in Las Vegas. Check out some of the amazing places we will be going, The beautiful Hotel we will be staying in, and the fab car we will be driving!
