First, let's take a look at the fancy new MGM Life Rooms 

The rooms are great. They've definitely gone with a more "modern" feel. 

Fancy ... 

Spacious bathroom and shower 

If we had to be a bit nit-picky, this is the only "dresser" in the room. Which is fine for a weekend stay but if somebody is staying longer than that, they will still have to live out of their suitcase, which is weird. 

The only other very small thing we noticed was there was only 1 small trashcan in the room, and none in the bathroom. Could have just been an oversight in our room. 

But other than those VERY small things, we loved it. The bed was very comfortable, we couldn't hear our room neighbors AT ALL and it was all in all a very pleasant stay. We can't wait until the entire hotel finishes it's renovation!! 

​Oh, and the view wasn't bad either. 

After freshening up a bit after our drive we headed over to Aria to have a fantastic meal with our friends from Is It October Yet?. 

Seven Magic Mountains display!! We decided we'd stop at the actual one on our next trip. 

We ate at Javiers at Aria ,and it was simply fantastic. 

After lunch it was just a quick tram ride over to Bellagio to check out the glorious holiday decorations. 

Lots of bears for our bear fans 

They always do such an amazing job here 

We hadn't been to the Mirage in about 10 years so we figured we were overdue for a visit. 

Our original plan was to see Beatles Love for our anniversary but sadly it was dark last weekend. 

Because the Rodeo was in town, cowboy hats were everywhere. Even on the Dolphins. 

Penguins!!! 

The Venetian, always one of our favorites. 

We played some computerized (kind of) blackjack that had an actual dealer, everybody got the same card and then there were "community" cards. It was weird. If anybody knows how it works, let us know!!! 

Beautiful 

One thing I want to give Kudos to all the casinos we visited this weekend is the elimination of cigarette smoke. Not sure if it's less people smoking or if they've finally found a way to effectively recycle air, but as somebody with asthma, it was greatly appreciated!!! 

After sun went down we headed back to Bellagio to check out the fountain show 

Hi Paris, we didn't come visit you this time, sorry. 

After a quick rest in our hotel we headed over to NY/NY for dinner ... Zumanity has me. 

We ate at the Burger Bar ... and it was quite yummy

Like seriously yummy 

Next Morning was Anniversary Day that was kind of filled with our Vegas traditions. First up, the buffet at Flamingo since they are Kristi's Favorites. 

I promise I didn't do anything ... 

Since we got married at Circus Circus we had to go pay it a visit. 

This property is very #sad. It really needs to just be imploded at this point. 

After heading back to our hotel and playing some at NY/NY (where we've already decided we are staying next time) we headed over to Rio to see Penn and Teller. 

It was a totally amazing show, we recommend it highly!! 

Oh, and if you ever do see the show, stick around and you may just meet the stars!! 

After sleeping in a bit on Sunday we headed over to MGM Grand and had brunch at Avenue Cafe, highly recommended!! We will definitely be back. 

And that's that. Another amazing Vegas weekend in the books and we are already talking about our next trip. 

​Hope you enjoyed!!!
