This past weekend Mr. Handsome and I jumped on a plane and made our way down to Vegas for an action packed mini vacation.

Action Packed.  Three nights and four days, meant we were going to jam is as many activities as possible.

Justin Timberlake @ MGM

Saturday
Moustache Dache Run in Downtown Vegas
Dinner @ Bouchon
Jim Gaffigan @ Mirage

Sunday
Football Sunday @ Lagasse's Stadium
Dinner @ Nobu
Shania Twain @ Caesars

Monday
Patio Lunch @ Mon Ami Gabi

Here is a look at how we occupied ourselves in a town known for great food and epic shows, with a couple extra photos thrown in for good measure.

I apologize in advance if this post makes you hungry.  Trust me when I tell you the food did not disappoint.
Cheers,
