35 things I’ll be doing on my 35th birthday in Vegas

Today is my 35th birthday. Yeah, I said it. 35. I’m not ashamed. I’m 35.

My mom’s birthday is Saturday. She probably doesn’t want me to tell you how old she is so I’ll just leave it at…it’s her birthday.

To celebrate we are taking (or actually are currently on) a mother/daughter trip to Las Vegas. I’m really hoping there’s some sort of birthday girl jackpot. (Shouldn’t there be like a $35M jackpot for the birthday girl turning 35?) But I haven’t been able to find it just yet.

So to celebrate I’ve made a list of 35 things I’ll be doing in Vegas over the next three days.

  1. Call Lee and the kids every day. I miss them already.
  2. Live tweet my trip on Twitter. Follow me at http://twitter.com/thebeanblog.
  3. Gamble.
  4. See Criss Angel Believe at the MGM.
  5. Drink out of a big ol’ glass shaped like a building.
  6. Wander around on the strip.
  7. Stuff myself at a buffet.
  8. Watch the Fountains at Bellagio.
  9. See Zumanity at New York, New York.
  10. Lounge around the pool with a good book.
  11. Stay up way past my bedtime.
  12. Sleep in without getting woken up by kids fighting over a video game.
  13. Drink at the Bar at Times Square in the New York/New York Hotel
  14. Hop on the Las Vegas Strip Trolley for trip down Las Vegas Blvd.
  15. See Legends in Concert at Harrah’s.
  16. Gamble.
  17. Have a margarita at Margaritaville at the Flamingo
  18. See the city from the Eiffel tower at Paris Las Vegas
  19. See the Aquarium at the Atlantis Fountain at the Forum Shops
  20. Watch the sharks eat at the Shark Reef at Mandalay Bay
  21. Do a little window shopping at all the little shops.
  22. Run in to a celebrity.
  23. Take more pictures than any one person should.
  24. Visit Elvis at Madame Tussauds wax museum at the Venetian Hotel
  25. Watch the volcano erupt in front of the Mirage Hotel
  26. I’d like to ride the roller coaster at NY, NY, but I doubt I’ll convince my mom to go with me. Will I go alone?
  27. Gamble
  28. Try not to get arrested.
  29. Enjoy an alcoholic beverage while walking down the street.
  30. Take a power nap when needed.
  31. Eat at Planet Hollywood or the Hard Rock…or both.
  32. Buy gifts for my kids.
  33. Buy souvenirs for my girl friends.
  34. Win a big jackpot.
  35. Have fun!

If you’re in Vegas give me a holla and we’ll share one of those big drinks in the shape of a building.
