Viva Las Vegas!

Making the most of it being only a 3 hour flight from Calgary to Vegas, I was able to attend the wedding of Megan & Tyler (Megan & I went to University together when she was an exchange student for a year and have been close friends ever since).
Having worked extra hours for all the evening events at the Library, I was able to go out there Friday morning and go to the bachelorette party (or hen night as us English folks say) which Megan had delayed so we could all go.
However, to start the day off well, Megan picked me up at the airport and we went straight to the Ethel M factory for a chocolate fix - these are great, my second favourite American chocolates after Ghirardelli. We're demonstrating their new line in the top picture!
For the evening we went to the Rio which is just off the Strip (middle picture). It's a really fun hotel with a carnival atmosphere. The last part of the night was spent at the Voodoo lounge right at the top of the Rio (very high) which gives amazing views across the whole of the Strip. The dancefloor is on a series of outside patios on different levels from the very top and down the side of the Rio so it's quite an experience!
If you think my jewellery looks interesting in the 3rd picture, it's because I got it from the people in the carnival who throw down dice beads! You can just about make them out in the middle picture on the steamboat, flying horse and balloon that are dangling from the ceiling.
Megan is wearing a veil (of course) and a t-shirt with sweets pinned to it that could be exchanged for dollar bills to wish her well on her wedding - she made $17 and probably caused at least one divorce as all the guys were telling her not to go through with it ... in front of their wives!!!!
