My cousin Colby was getting married in Las Vegas yesterday and so it was a great excuse to go to a Killers concert that night! The wedding was nice with a reception after. We skipped out on dinner since we also had to visit Nick's brother who also lives in Vegas.
After meeting with the family we were off to do a little shopping before the concert. We hit up the Outdoor Premium Outlets. I loved seeing all the shops and it made me want to get my rear in gear with my weight loss.
We were off to Mandalay Bay where the concert was being held. I love that casino...it takes me back to my youth seeing a concert and then wishing I were 21 so that I could go to Rum Jungle Nightclub which now seems totally lame. I guess that's what growing up and actually being able to do things does to you.
The opening acts were Halloween Town (they were awful not even worth posting about) and the AMAZING Phoenix! They were amazing! Look up their music and then if you ever have the chance to see them live, do it! The drummer was insane! It almost seemed like he was banging the drums with his head. The funny thing is they are so not Hard Rock.
Onto the Killers. Amazing, wonderful, better than last time. They played for an Incredible 2 hours! And I have to say that Brandon Flowers killed it! I am a victim for the Killers music. Some of the songs even sounded better than on the CD. "Jenny" was my favorite performance which shocks me since my fav song is Mr, Brightside.
After the concert we thought we would save some money and just drive home. Seeing as the Killers didn't even get onstage until 10:30 our time we weren't out of the concert till 12:30. Dreading the after concert rush in the parking garage we hurried to our car and were out of the garage in 5 min! Luck was shining on us! Out of Vegas in record time and past Glendale and then....we come to a stand still right on the hill by Lake Mead. Needless to say I took a 40 min. nap in the car as well as Nick and we rolled into our house at 3:30. It was a long night but well worth it!
P.S.
All I know is that the kids had great fun with their aunts! Bob and Mia they played and then they went to the Rodeo with Keena. Thanks again Sista Friends!

Fun! I need to loose some baby weight, too. We should walk together or something!
Bob and Mia had a great time with your kids as well! We honestly looked forward to watching them for over a week :) I took Liv with me to a bridal shower and she was so well behaved. I was impressed, overall. You have such great kids, so you and Nick need to not worry about it so much ;)
