Vegas, Baby! Part two...

As I mentioned earlier, we stayed at the Bellagio Hotel. In their lobby, they have this amazing Chihuly glass "sculpture" on the ceiling. I could sit there and stare at it all day...
Jen and Valerie posing like the Bally's Jubilee dancer.

Hugh Hefner was there, and invited me to share a bit of bubbly.

We also ran into Wolfgang Puck, and he wanted me to taste his favorite wine.

George stopped by and asked for my hand in marriage. I gave it to him.

Then he changed his mind, dumped me, and asked Jen to marry him.
She accepted. Sorry, James!

He decided to break Jen's heart as well, and invited Dan to spend
the rest of his life with him. He accepted.

While in Vegas, Jen got in a bit of golf with Tiger and Arnold.

We were also lucky enough to take in a quick tennis match.
Jen, Valerie and Dan were really excited to be there!

Jen enjoyed hanging out with Marilyn Monroe, ...

...and Jackie Kennedy.

After hanging out with the various celebrities in Vegas, we headed back to our hotel room to relax and freshen up before our dinner at Wolfgang Puck's Spago restaurant at Caesar's Palace. It was absolutely delicious! Jen had filet mignon, which melted in her mouth, and we all ordered some kind of dessert - I had Pumpkin Pie Creme Brulee. Just awesome.

At 11:58PM on the eve of Jen's 21st birthday, she, Valerie and Dan were ready with their butterscotch schnapps shots to toast the arrival of Jen's 21st birthday.

We also celebrated Dan's 22nd birthday belatedly (11/20).

Jen was all decked out with her birthday girl crown, her shot glass necklace, her "I'm finally legal" button, her feather boa and her Belle magic wand.

Unfortunately, Dan had to leave on Wednesday to fly back to NYC so that he could be with his family on Thanksgiving Day. So I took him to the Las Vegas airport, and he flew stand-by to Denver and then on to LaGuardia! He made it home!

In the meantime, Jen, Valerie and John, Greg and I celebrated Jen's actual birthday with lunch at Serendipity 3 with a frozen hot chocolate, which was delectibly delicious!

And, of course, Jen had to play the slots legally for the first time ever!
It turns out that she's a BlackJack babe, too!
