The Obsessive Neurotic Gardener

… doesn’t necessarily have to completely stay in Vegas. 
My wife and I, along with two other couples, hit the City of Sin this past weekend. All six of us will be turning 40 within the next few months so we figured let’s test our intestinal fortitude and live like rock stars for a few days. 
While I cannot provide you with a lot of the details (the six of us did agree to keep some things quiet) I can tell you it was a fantastic time, we lost very little money, ate like champs, walked miles a day, drank gallons of gatorade, people watched like never before and enjoyed all Vegas had to offer as the adult Disney World.
I could have stared at the “strip” all night as it was a sensory experience that will never be forgotten:  
We rented a cabana with a personal waitress, fully stocked bar, mister, air conditioned room and private patio. That = good times in the Vegas heat:    
And on the opposite end of the spectrum, we spent time in an “ice bar” that was -5 degrees Celsius. The glasses are completely made out of ice, as were the stools, tables and light fixtures:     
And just to prove to ourselves that we could still “hang”, we partied at a rooftop club with the young ones: 
Maybe some day I’ll reveal some of the other details, but for now, I’ll leave you with some pics of the gardens at Bellagio (keeping it real with the topic of gardens):

    The best part of my one trip to Vegas was flying in at night. The scariest part was the fire alarm going off with us on the fifth floor and they made us stay in our room with the door closed.

    Advanced Happy Birthday! Looks like you had a wonderful time.
    Especially liked the Chihuly photo. I wonder if a lot of garden bloggers who go on vacation end up with more plant focused pictures than people pictures? Personally mu numbers would probably be near each other. How did you do?
