Vegas babyyy.

For my friend Adriana Noland's 18th birthday,
she decided that she wanted to go to Las Vegas!
So her parents, her, and I all headed there on June 12, 2009,
[[which was her actually birthday date]] and drove that long 4 hours.
Her dad had gotten a 2 bedroom suite at a place called Summer Bay Resort.
It basically looked like a small apartment! It was really nice.
We didn't get there until about 9:30 PM,
so we didn't really do anything that night, especially because of Sabbath.
So we rested and unpacked our things.
On Saturday morning, we got up to go to church.
It was this church I'd never heard of call Mountain View SDA.
It was so cool! It wasn't too conservative and there were a LOT of youth!
After church we were so tired that we went back to the resort and just took naps.
When we woke up from our little rest, we were STARVING!
[[which actually is not surprising for me, but whatever. haha]]
So off to our first buffet we went!
We decided to go eat at the Sahara hotel buffet.
It was okayyy, but I wasn't too excited about the food there.
Sunday was our first full day, so we decided we would go to the strip!
We did a LOT of walking until we got to the fashion mall.
It was cool because they actually had a fashion show going on!
Also, in that mall they had an ABC store like the ones in Hawaii.
So at the mall we ate at Johnny Rockets for lunch and got quick fix massages.
We also stopped at this restaurant called Serendipity.
It is SO expensive but we had heard that we HAD to try the desserts there.
We got this strawberry sundae with..
strawberry cheesecake, strawberries, whip cream, and strawberry syrup.
YUMM. it was so good, but SO sweet! haha
Then it was time to head back because the Laker game, Finals Game 5 was gonna be on!
It was exciting because it was against Orlando Magic but Lakers were up 3-1.
So pretty much if they won this one, they'd be the Champions.
Sure enough, they won! With a score of 99-86. WOW! Slaughter, for sure!
We were all excited, but kind of disappointed at how boring it was.
Either way, it was a good game bacause of the Laker victory. :]]
After that, I believe we went BACK to the strip.
It was a long day, but a lot of fun!

[[this will be part 1 of the Vegas trip!]]
