New Year New Goals

I'm not sure why I wanted to go to Vegas for New Years Eve but when Karen said she wanted to go too we made plans to go.

Both of us were excited waiting to board the plane for Vegas. We were lucky enough to get the exit row seats. Only 2 seats in that row so there's a little more room.

When we got to Vegas our limo driver was waiting and no luggage was lost. Even our plane was on time.

This time I wanted to stay at Planet Hollywood. This is the view from our room. Planet Hollywood is adjacent to the Miracle Mile shopping mall. These are more reasonably priced stores than the ones across the street at the Aria which include Gucci and Prada.

But then I remembered why I don't like Vegas on New Years Eve - the crowds. I tried so hard to go outside at midnight but the crowd prevented me from even getting near the door. And the temperatures where so cold that I wasn't about to go out any earlier just to watch the fireworks. I later found out that I could have seen the fireworks from my hotel room window.

We went to Gordon Ramsey Burgers New Years night. Being a Seven Star card holder with Harrah's gives you certain privileges that others don't have. We were seated immediately, the couple behind us was told there would be a 2 hour wait. I always feel uncomfortable going to the front of the line especially when other people start complaining, but the burgers were so good. They cook them over an open grill using apple wood.

All too soon it was time to come home. I'm not sure what I'm looking at here but I was mesmerized by the red color. Maybe we were flying over the Grand Canyon. With a new year comes new resolutions. I've made a few and after only 8 days into the year I've done pretty well keeping them. I'm exercising, eating healthy and trying to keep up with my blog. I said trying. Happy New Year!
