PBR was fantastic as always and as Jake describes it, it's my version of the Super Bowl. If it's close, we try and go to every event. #guiltypleasure They always do Last Cowboy Standing when they have their event in Vegas. Basically they take the group of riders and narrow them down to a smaller pool for day 2. Once they are bucked off, they're out of the competition. They also have some special bulls that the rider can win additional money. Makes it fun to watch and really get into...even if you aren't a PBR fanatic. Jake and I decided to bet on the event this year to add a little more excitement. Sadly we didn't win any money of the 6 bets we placed but still made for a fun time. My fingers and toes are crossed that the hockey schedule works to our favor so we can attend the World Finals in October.
Jake and I faithfully watch Cake Boss every season and the spin offs. A couple trips ago, we tried out Buddy V's restaurant at the Venetian and went back again this trip. It definitely did not disappoint! The food was delish and would highly recommend the next time you're in Vegas. Since then, Buddy Valastro opened up a Carlo's Bakery right across the way from his restaurant. To say that I was excited would be a complete understatement. Canolis? Lobster Tail? Check and check! Everything was absolutely just as yummy as it looks on TV.

On Sunday, went to see Boyz II Men and my 1990s self was completely freaking out inside. They have a weekend residency at The Mirage and it was a fantastic show. Definitely would highly recommend if you are going to be in the Vegas area. Jake booked us the Meet and Greet package along with some great seats while they played all their hits. This is not the "End of the Road" for them!
It was definitely a great getaway and we had some much needed rest and relaxation. Next stop....EUROPE!
