Two weeks ago, we, my mom, sister, and I made the journey to the crazy town of Las Vegas to see Garth Brooks!!! We left on Thurs afternoon with no hitches or glitches and arrived in the City of Sin the evening. We got settled and decided to go explore. We walked outside and the first thing I see is a sign for Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar." Perfect!! We went and my mom and I had a strong drink and then decided to leave, by this time it was late so we went back, got some dinner, headed to the room and that was that.
The next morning, we got up and headed shopping! We found some great deals, then cruised on over to the Wynn to get our tix from will call. After a mini photoshoot with all things Garth, we headed back to the hotel for some quality pool/relaxation time, dinner, and preparation for the show. We got ready and headed over about 830pm. We got into line and then headed in! Woot!
I can't even begin to describe in words what it was like and how incredible the show was....literally I went to go post a status update about it afterwards and I was speechless....I laughed, cried, I cheered just about til my voice gave out....there is no way for anyone to understand unless the see the show for themselves. I would go back again in a heartbeat!! It Was so moving and filled with revelations. I LOVED it!!!
It was easily one of the most memorable couple hours of my liufe and bucket-list worthy for sure!!!
I am forever endebted to my parents for this experience...it was.....wow, I cant even write about it!!! I would go back in a heartbeat!
Sat morning we got up, my sister stayed back to hang out with a friend and do her thang in the gym, while my mom and I went exploring to old town. First stop: Gold and Silver Pawn, which is where they film the History Channel's "Pawn Stars." It was cool to see the place, but it was pretty pricey. I ended up getting a Golden Nugget poker chip. We walked down a block to this other place that had just massive amounts of stuff for amazing prices! Old decks of cards from casinos, poker chips, etc...it was awesome! Got some stuff there and decided to walk the rest of the way, about 6 blocks to Fremont Street....I wanted to end up at the Golden Nugget, just to check it out. Neither my mom or I had been to old town so it was cool to check it out. Amazing how different the crowd is down there compared to the main parts of the strip and how much lower the prices are!!!!
We made it to the Nugget, had a late lunch, won some $, then headed back to the strip. We met up with my sis and ventured over to Gilleys to have some dinner. That place was awesome, Jack Daniels stuff everywhere, and an amazing brisket!!! My kind of place!
It was a fantastic trip and I had such a great time! It was definately worth the travel to go see Garth...My lifelong passion came to form and I could not or would not trade that experience for the world!!!!
