Seeing Elton John in Vegas!

For Christmas, Robert got me tickets to see Elton John in Las Vegas. The concert was this last weekend, so we took a little over night roadtrip, just the two of us. It was so much fun!
The very first thing we did when we got to Las Vegas was head straight for a buffet. It was lunchtime, and we got there 30 minutes before it closed to get ready for dinner and there wouldn't be time to come back before the concert that evening, so we just piled plates and plates full of food on our table and made that half hour count.
One of the managers even walked by and said, "Are you really that hungry?"
No lady, we weren't, but since it costs an arm and a leg to eat at your buffet, we will try all 8 flavors of your gelato, and eat a half dozen chocolate covered strawberries, after going back for seconds on your creme brulee. (I pretty much only ate tons of dessert and pineapple and cantelope and mashed potatoes and fancy maccaroni and cheese.)
Then we walked off our stomache aches by going from hotel to hotel to look at all of the fun decor. There were a lot of dragons for Chinese New Year.
We cuddled in front of the Bellagio Fountains.
And we shared a frozen hot chocolate from Serendipity, and begged strangers to take our picture while their frozen hot chocolate was probably melting.
And we laughed a lot at the giant statue of Sigfried and Roy and their copper tiger. (Shouldn't it have at least been made out of marble, since the tigers are famous for being white?)
We always like to pose like the statues whenever we go to Vegas.
For this one I meant to use my purse to blend in with the dark night sky (I knew I should have brought my black purse) so it would look like I was headless like the statue, but instead everyone standing there, including my husband, thought I looked like a total weirdo.
I think that may have been one of the few times that something I've done may have slightly embarrased Robert.
He was nice about it though. He just kept saying, "Come on honey. It's not working out the way you think it is."
Turns out he was right. That is not how I pictured it.
Then it was finally time to see Sir Elton John! Woo-hoo!

We were in the very, very last row, perfect for standing up and dancing to "Crocodile Rock."
I hesitated at first, since nobody else was dancing, but after the chorus, nothing could have kept this tiny dancer in her seat!
I pullled out all of my best moves, including my air piano!
I even had a quasi dance-off with a middle-aged woman 10 rows in front of me, who happened to be the only other person dancing and had no idea I was secretly trying to out dance her.
It was such fun! I kept on dancing to the last song and even got Robert to stand up and dance at the end.
It was a great concert!
After the concert we went to the Paris hotel and shared a crepe to end the night.
It was so nice just being together. He makes everything fun! Even just riding in the car together was fun.
Merry Christmas present to me!
