Once again we traveled to our favorite place.... LAS VEGAS! We had four days packed with fun. The weather was great while we were there. In Indiana, however, it was terrible, so a good week to miss!
By now everyone should know we are planners and love to get good deals. Well Las Vegas is a town of deals if you look close enough. Before we went we were able to snag some items from our MyVegas game on Facebook. We had two FREE night helicopter tours over the strip, a complimentary picture with the helicopter, two FREE show tickets to KA at MGM, two FREE show tickets to The Beatles LOVE at the Mirage, and two 2-for-1 Buffet tickets to the Mirage buffet. All those items together were valued at over $600. We paid $0 for them. I also got some items off Groupon for super cheap!
So before we even left we had planned out what nights we were doing what and so on.
We arrived in Las Vegas on April 1st and headed directly to our hotel. This was our first time at Harrah's. We loved our location. It was really close to several hotels, so it gave us a lot of gambling, entertainment, and food options.
We had our helicopter tour planned for that evening at 8 pm. If you ever wondered if you would like to do a helicopter tour, I would highly recommend it. We were on Maverick Tours.
They were great. They send a shuttle to pick you up at your hotel, take you to their area, and take you back. Did I mention that they have complimentary champagne? Umm... hello! JACKPOT!
Anyways, it was so much fun. I hated that it only lasted 10 minutes, but I had the best seat in the helicopter. Joe probably had the worst seat, but I was able to get a lot of pictures and video. We had a wonderful time and we were so happy we got to do it.
Monday was a slow day. I had a little too much fun on night one, so I was trying to recuperate. We used one of our 2-for-1's at the Mirage breakfast buffet. They have a lot to choose from and it was delicious.
We went back to our hotel afterward and took a nap. We took some walks around the hotels and watched the final game of March madness. We were able to use our other 2-for-1 buffet passes that night as well. We redeemed our two FREE tickets to the Beatles LOVE on Monday night. If you enjoy Beatles music, you will enjoy this show.
Tuesday we had a couple of our shows planned in the evening. We started our day with breakfast at Hash House a Go Go. It's always delicious and has HUGE portions! I mean look at my pancake! HELLO!
We walked around and just had a lot of fun going in and out of places. We ate dinner at Earl of Sandwich at PH. If you have never ate there, please do! It's so good! We saw Xavier Mortimer at PH. I had gotten his tickets off Groupon after seeing reviews. I can't say we were very impressed. I was disappointed that I paid for us to go see him.
After his show we headed over to MGM to see KA. We got these tickets for free from MyVegas. WE WERE FRONT ROW.
I knew I had gotten good seats when I had redeemed our vouchers, I just didn't realize front row. We loved the show it's so action packed and has a story to follow while watching. It's one of our favorites!
Wednesday we had a pretty easy day. Mac King has been a show at Harrah's for about 20 years. We have always heard he was good, but never were near Harrah's or had time to see him. Since we stayed at Harrah's it was the perfect opportunity. There is a deal that not everyone knows about. If you go to the rewards desk and ask for show vouchers, you will get the tickets for free with the purchase of a drink which comes out to $14.99. So not only did we get a show, we got a drink as well. Joe and I both would rate him a 5/5. He was hilarious and a great magic show.
We planned to head to Downtown Las Vegas for the evening. We always have a lot of fun down there.
Joe did amazing while downtown. He won at pretty much everything he did... I on the other hand did not, but I'm just glad he won! We played a mixture of things while downtown. We played Blackjack, Roulette, Poker, Slots, and digital horse racing. We had some free food from our last stay downtown, so we enjoyed dinner at the D Grill.
This trip was the first time we used Uber or Lyft and they are AMAZING! I will never take a taxi again. They were super easy to use and cost efficient.
We had a great trip. We missed our girl while we were gone, but had an amazing time together. I can't wait until our next adventure.
Until next time,
Kara
