Scooting Around Vegas & a Birthday Party - 53/365

So, this morning, we headed down to the hotel lobby to rent me a motorized scooter. We called down to ask how to rent one and they just happened to have them downstairs. Yay, I guess....
It was a little embarrassing at first, but then it was kind of fun. It had a fun little horn and went pretty fast! They actually said to keep it toward the "turtle" setting because people have flipped them. I cranked it up to "rabbit" a couple times and was gone in a flash!
After we got my scooter, we headed over to Caesar's Palace to do a little wandering. We stopped and did a little gambling as well. No one really hit too much, oh well.
After Caesar's we went back to the hotel and napped, because we were still pooped from our adventure at the ER all night, last night.
We got up around four and got ready for dinner. We were heading down to the Venetian to have dinner at Zeffarino's. We ate there last year and just had a wonderful meal, so we wanted to go again. It did not disappoint again this year!
After dinner, we were heading over to the Mirage to take in the Boyz II Men show. We were pretty excited for this show, too! Turns out it was AMAZING as well! They were phenomenal and so humble. At one point during the show, they were giving out roses. Nana and Chloe headed down to the front to try to get one. Nana was able to grab one after one of the Boyz II Men guys accidentally fell off the stage! He was ok and laughing about the whole thing, but he loosened his grip and she was able to get one!
After the show, it was pouring down rain. Yep, in Vegas. I had the scooter, so we had to wait for a handicapped equipped cab, to come. One finally came and now we were heading down to Mary Jane and Chloe's hotel. They were staying at the extremely fancy Mandarin Oriental. Chloe is doing an internship with them, so they got  a bit of a discount.
The hotel was amazing! They had a beautiful bathroom with a bucket filled with wonderfully smelling bath salts. I just wanted to take a quick soak, they smelled so good. They also had a beautiful bedroom area, with an absolutely HILARIOUS video playing. It was supposed to calm you down, but we just laughed. There was a lady bouncing on the couch and a lady walking through a forest! The room even had an "intimacy kit" we all giggled about.
The hotel left Chloe a little surprise of Champagne and a beautiful cake. Chloe was nice enough to pop the champagne and share with us for a little toast. It was so sweet!
After we hung out for awhile, we decided to head back and get a good night sleep, since we were off to the Hoover Dam early in the morning.
Meanwhile back at home, Reagan and Jim took in a birthday party today. Samantha, Amy and Mike's daughter, was turning one! Jim said Reagan was a little shy at first, but warmed up quite quickly to everyone! She had a blast and absolutely loved the cupcake decorating part of the party! They had a good time.
When they came home, they just hung around the house and played games and watched shows. The weather has been so crappy, they haven't been able to do much!
They had a fun day though.
