For our 10 year anniversary we had wanted to go back to Vegas, but it just didn't happen. Maybe it was just lack of planning, lack of money or just lack of time...but our trip to Vegas for our 10 year anniversary just didn't work out. Instead we decided to take a weekend in Biloxi, MS. I know it doesn't sound very elaborate but we can have fun pretty much any place and you throw a casino in the mix and that's just a bonus. Sean and I had a really great time. If you couldn't tell we took all these pictures our self. ha! We really overdid it for sure....you can tell from the bags and dark circles under our eyes. When we landed we had no clue what to do or where to go so I saw a driver for our hotel and asked if there was a shuttle. He said there should be one outside but of course there wasn't. So he was there to pick up some VIP/high rollers and asked them if they would mind us catching a ride in the limo with them and they were happy and willing to share. It was about a 20 minute ride and we had a great time riding with Dolly and her family...they were a riot! We tipped the driver nicely, because he gave us a ride and at that time we actually had money. ha! The hotel was pretty nice...typical casino hotel I would say...but the people were so nice! We ended up going down and gambling into the next morning and found ourselves eating biscuits and gravy at around 3AM... The next day we walked around, exploring and ended up at the Hard Rock Casino. I think the next time we go that's where we'll stay. It looked much closer when we decided to walk to it from our hotel, turns out it was about 2 miles I'm guessing. Probably wouldn't have been so bad if the wind weren't blowing but we were a little cold. So we ended up staying there just about the entire day, it was just a younger crowd and better music...just more our speed. The next day we ended up jumping into the hot tub outside....then somehow I got into the pool. I don't even swim in peak summer but I guess I had just enough drinks that I didn't mind the cold water. People were coming outside in winter coats looking at us like we were from Alaska....little did they know we were from warm weather huh?
On the last day we called the limo driver who we had befriended on the first day and he told them we were VIPs and came to pick us up...this time we didn't have to share the limo. He was a really nice guy, turns out he was from NOVA and had moved down with a girl. He was cracking us up talking about her...apparently it didn't work out. Ha! We really had a good time on the trip and we had hoped to go back sometime soon...but our old faithful Allegiant Air stopped flying there....looks like we're back on for Vegas next.
