What happens in Vegas, Stays in Vegas!

Well our trip to Vegas wasn't that great...the first night we got there we had PF Chang's...and went to bed. Then at four in the am ...I got severely ill. Hugging toilet if you know what I mean. Yea, PF Chang's will never be the same for me now. SO it took me a whole day to recover as well. I didn't know if I had food poison or just a really bad virus. I have never felt this sick ever. So bummed that I did not leave the hotel in two days...There was a world Premiere downstairs in our hotel for the movie Saw V...not my fav but I thought hey maybe we will see some famous people cause they had the whole red carpet deal...
So..here is my Moment my red carpet appearance...nice pic...yea I know what your all thinking...worst dressed ever!!!!...But in my defense I still did not feel good, have not had any food yet in two days, and was not the only one there dressed casual. I just hope this won't ruin my career and I make a promise to my family to be more glamorous at my next red carpet appearance. Ha..if there is a next one!

So two hours late ...here are the famous people...LOL...the main actors in the movie...So Costas Mandylor walked by and Scott Patterson - who has been on Gilmore Girls...some of the ladies pointed him out to me...

And then the main character...Tobin Bell...So we got free tickets to the gory movie and free Soda and popcorn...


Pretty much the whole main cast was there, directors, producers...so that was my night out...and I still didn't leave the hotel...LOL!
So Scott had his conference during the next two days and the last night he got sick - worse than me too. So I went to the pool and got a tan out of my mini-vacation. And heard others at the pool complaining they got sick too. While Scott was recovering in the room before we had to fly out. Not fun!
Here is a random pic of the city night life and Harley Cafe...that will not be there probably next year. And that was it! Missed the boys and was happy to be home again...I say next time we go to FL.
