Happy Birthday!
We love going to Vegas for all the fantastic restaurants!
The last time we went our restaurant budget was more
than any other aspect of the trip (more than room, more than gambling).
Eat tons and report every dish!

Hi Jaden! Happy Birthday, hope I am not too late. Just finished watching the Olympics Opening Ceremony and it was spectacular. Anyway, have a great time in LV. I was there with my hubby in July and we stayed at MGM too. We saw the David Copperfield show, it was ok and of course a Cirque du Soleil show. Enjoy! Drink lots of water!!
