We closed the office a little early on Thursday (and stayed closed on Friday) so we could all catch a flight out that night. Luckily, almost all of us (12 out of 14) were on two adjacent rows so we could chit chat on the flight.

We had a very nice ride to the hotel....
A group shot before we all loaded into the limo to go to the hotel.
It was a little snug getting 14 people plus luggage into a twelve person limousine, but we made it work!
Daniel and I getting cozy in the limo...
We stayed at the Mirage on the Las Vegas Strip and it was gorgeous! They have trees and waterfalls everywhere...both inside and out. 
They have recently remodeled all of the rooms and they are quite nice.
After a late night Thursday filled with getting acquainted with the hotel and all that fun stuff, we decided to spend Friday seeing as much of the Vegas Strip as we possibly could. Everyone split up and did their own thing for the day. Daniel and I walked almost the entire strip and back, twice. We had a lot of fun, but my feet were definitely tired of flip flops by the time we got back to the room....next time I should just wear my tennis shoes, even if the flip flops looked cuter! :)
One of the parking lots outside of a hotel was filled with 'dream cars' that you could rent for the day. They were a little out of our price range so we just took a picture of Daniel with the Lamborghini.
One of the stores we went into was M&M World. It was four stories filled with all things M&M...I loved it! You could even custom make your own bag of M&M's with whichever color of M&M's you desire. We only bought a small bag of their newest creation...we at least had to try it!
Here is a picture of the Eiffel Tower replica outside of the Paris hotel.
Most of the hotels have a theme and are decorated accordingly. This is a picture of the pirate ship that is outside Treasure Island.
One of our favorite hotels to visit was the Bellagio. The inside was full of fresh flowers (and animals made out of flowers) and the dancing fountains were outside. What a great combo!
We watched the fountains when we were there in the afternoon, but we had to go back and see them that night so we could see all of the lights that go with them. They are very cool!!
Self portrait!
When we left the fountains, we rushed back to our hotel to see the volcano erupt outside. They do this every hour and it was really cool!
We were so worn out from all of our walking on Friday, that we spent most of Saturday just hanging out at the pool and cruising around some of the shops and hotels that were closest to the Mirage.

Saturday afternoon, both Daniel and I got to go to different shows. Three of the guys went over to watch the finale of The Ultimate Fighter (UFC for those of you who do not know). They had a blast and got to see some really cool fights and some famous people.
Everybody else in the group all joined up again to go see Mystere by Cirque du Soleil. It was absolutely amazing!! The things those people can do was incredible. I really wanted to take pictures, but you are not allowed to take cameras into the show...sorry! Here is the link to a clip I found on youtube if you are interested in seeing what it was all about.
We were a very tired bunch on the plane back home today, but we had a blast! We are already talking about when we can all go back! :)

What an awesome trip! Sorry if I kept y'all at the office late on Thursday!
I think next year y'all should bring your favorite patient with you... at least your favorite patients mommma! :)
See you soon!
I bet there are ALOT of people that wish they had a boss as nice as you! Looks like a really fun time. I haven't been to Vegas in about 20 years and just imagine how much it has changed.
Sounds like a great trip! I love the Bellagio too. Miss K seemed like she was having a good time on Sunday! She and JD sat together at lunch and shared some food at Spring Creek.
Fun! What a cool weekend! We saw Kenna with her grandparents yesterday at church without you so we figured you were doing something fun!
Looks like ya'll had a blast!! The fountains are my favorite part of Vegas!! Isn't the Mirage too cool! I loved it! Although when we were there in December the Volcano hadn't opened yet. I am pretty sure it opened like the next weekend! Oh well guess that means I need to go back!! Glad ya'll had a great time!!
Wow! What a generous boss, that's awesome. Clearly I'm doing something wrong at my work....
Very cool! We never watched the volcano. It looks neat. I am glad you had fun.
