"They say I'm crazy but I have a good time..."

As some of you may have read, Zach and I decided on a spur of the moment night out. We usually go out for date night a couple times a month anyway but with the holidays, visitors and preparing for our big move it's been hard to schedule something. I think that date nights are so important for married couples and we LOVE to take advantage of alone time together. It is reassuring to me that after all of these years, the ups and downs and everything in between, we can still have a blast together!


I was checking things out on hotels.com (my favorite vacation/hotel site of all time) and came across some ridiculously low prices at The Plaza on Fremont Street. The Plaza has just been renovated and reopened this month. When we were downtown last month I had mentioned wanting to check it out. For forty-five bucks a night for a room with a view of the strip, it was happening!

Some things about Las Vegas will be missed

Zach and I both love Fremont Street and prefer to go there over the strip. I just think that The Plaza looks so pretty and fancy from the strip so it sounded perfect. There is a new dueling piano bar, a sushi and Hawaiian food place, Hash House and mini golf course all inside there now. Firefly is gone and that was kind of a bummer but we were still prepared for a great time with virtually no agenda.

I was so super lazy yesterday and Zach had worked the night before so we decided to just get ready when we got there.


We hardly ever take pictures together so...

...you know we had to have a PHOTO SHOOT!

Dinner was delicious! You just can't go wrong with sushi and a LocoMoco. We had a long conversation about how much we miss Hawaii and how we both desperately want to get back there. To stay.

 

After dinner we just walked the strip a few times, had some drinks and gambled. For hours.

The night ended with a fiasco as usual. We always have so much fun on Fremont street but it never ends without someone trying to sell us drugs or fight someone. Ha! I know I shouldn't laugh but they are always the most unbelievably hilarious and really non-threatening situations. They are laughable. Next time I will take some video. It's just too crazy to put into words. At least no one tried to shank us this time. Ahh, the classy crowd that hangs around the Glitter Gulch. I'm kinda going to miss this place.  


I love my best friend-husband and our super crazy date nights!



"Lucky I'm sane after all I've been through
Everybody says I'm cool (he's cool)
I can't complain but sometimes I still do
Life's been good to me so far"
