Las Vegas for my sister's birthday, January 2018

My sister had always wanted to have a weekend in Vegas. At one point before our dad passed away she was discussing it with some of her friends, flying and meeting in Vegas for a few days. Since my husband and I moved to California, we have gone to Vegas at least once a month. With my husband playing in the casinos, he gets frequent deals or freebies. Basically, we can go to Vegas whenever we want.

The death of my father brought my sister and I together for 2 weeks. We hadn't seen each other since she moved from Virginia to Missouri. The military life had put us in Virginia at the same time for several years. We really enjoyed the opportunity to be together, see each other and spend the time with our parents. By the time that our father passed, we have both realized that we are never going to live in the same city again. Her husband and family love Missouri, my husband and I love California. We will probably move back to Virginia due to the fact that we own a home there. 

I was missing my sister, and I randomly just texted her and asked her what she was doing for her birthday. We ended up planning for her to fly to Vegas for a couple of days.  We drove on Thursday, and then my sister flew in on Friday. 

After we left the airport, we went to the Welcome to Las Vegas sign, and then we decided to go to Freemont Street. Within a couple hours of being in Vegas for the first time, my sister talked in me into getting on the Slotzilla Zip Line. 

While my sister was in Vegas, we stayed at Planet Hollywood, we ate at Whalburgers and Mesa Grill, and we saw Jabawockeez and The Tenors of Rock. I will do separate posts for all of the things we did.
