We decided to do our honeymoon a few months after our wedding. We had paid for our wedding ourselves and needed to be able to save up the money. We also had a lot of people visiting from out of town when we got married, since Russ and his family are from Montana. We wanted to spend time with our guests and recover from all of our partying before going away on a trip.
We decided we wanted to go to Las Vegas for our honeymoon. I had never been, but Russ has been there a lot and really liked it. We flew out Wednesday to return on Sunday. This was also Thanksgiving weekend, so a great time to go when it wasn't so crowded. Russ surprised me by having a limo pick us up from the airport, so I could see the sights of Vegas in style.
We stayed at Treasure Island in one of their honeymoon suites, it was really nice. We went to Toby Keith's I Love This Bar and Grill, Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville, and tons of other buffets. We toured almost every hotel to see how incredible they all really are. We went to Hard Rock Hotel and Casino, and Old Downtown Las Vegas to all of those casinos. It was fabulous, there were not a ton of people, I think to do it being Thanksgiving weekend. It wasn't hot, but it wasn't cold either. They funny part was Las Vegas actually broke a record in the amount of rain they had gotten. They got about 1/4 inch in a day and they couldn't deal with it. It was nothing being from Chicago, I hardly even noticed it was raining. :)
