Vegas....24 hour trip

This was for sure the shortest Vegas trip ever, ever!!!

Michele and I left San Jose Saturday at 9 am and our flight from Vegas back to San Jose was Sunday at 9 am. I know CRAZY!!

We stayed at the Westin on Flamingo street, behind the Venetian (around that area). It was nice and peaceful.

We had the best dinner ever at Sake rock. Confession, since finding this place in March, we have eaten there every time we have gone. And if you follow my IG and FB you know it was a lot of times. The food is just so good, and the show (starting at 6) its amazing.

Reason we did such a short Vegas trip, it was Ricky Martin's last Vegas performance. yes I know I saw him in April and if I lived in Vegas I would had probably watched him once a week. But I could not miss seen him again, when he was so close.

The show was amazing as always. I was sweating from all the dancing. This time I saw him from a higher level (not the floor, man I loved the floor), but it was great as I got to see the whole show. Michele had a great time and I think she may be a Ricky fan now.

I also got to see Lisa, I meet her at the crazy long lines for Ricky's book signing in LA some years ago, and thanks to social media we have stayed in touch. It was so nice to see her and chat with her.

I did not take a lot of pictures. I am learning to be more present and in the moment, experience everything first had rather than thru the screen of my phone.

Someone asked me "what do you pack for a trip to Vegas that will last less than 24 hours?" so here it is; PJs, socks, sandals, concert shoes and clothing, comfy clothes for the next morning flight, a light jacket, and bathroom essentials, and don't forget your phone charger. Nothing else. I had no options, so I am glad I did not change my mind of wearing what I did. Which by the way was the same thing Michele wore, as we totally bought the same shirt at target but not together, so we wore it to the concert, oh and we wore the same sandals on Saturday lol

Backstreet Boys in Vegas - Spoilers

I am sure you all know that Backstreet Boys has a residency in Vegas at the Planet Hollywood Hotel (same place as Britney). It started March 1 and it goes all the way to July 1. If you can go watch it GO!!!!! its amazing. 

Michele and I bought tickets right away when they went on sale months ago however after watching them on Friday, we got tickets the next morning to watch them again. they even opened the 300 section for the first time ever. Now you can totally feel it move and shake, yes it did freak me out, however if you are dancing you will never know, so just dance. 

They are absolutely amazing, I would LOVE to see them again. 

I have uploaded a lots of videos. I didn't post them on IG or FB, so if you are going to the show and don't want to spoil it, don't watch them. But if you are like me and don't care then watch them. 

They are so gooooooooddddddd. 

Friday night - this was the 2nd night of the show, there were some lightning problems and the stage did not move. Now I wouldn't had know that the staged moved if I hadn't seen them Saturday night as well. 

This is Nick. He is in the front of section 205. 

All of them are scattered I think Brian is in 203

Kevin in 204

AJ in 206

Howie in  207

Saturday night

When we looked for ticket Saturday morning the 300 section was pretty empty,  however when it was show time it was full. There was a lot of people there from night 1 (Wed. night) and the night before. That's how good the show is. 

Show info - 

The 300 section is actually pretty cool and the prices are a lot cheaper. 

The line to get in is so long it goes all the way around the hotel, however it moves REALLY fast. 

You will be up the whole time so wear comfy shoes.

The show actually starts at 9:20.

If the 300 section is open the bathrooms have less line and the bar has no line as well. 

If you are going to line up and have to use the bathroom, use the bathroom in the hotel and then line up, trust me. 

They will take your picture after security, you don't have to.
