Light It Up! Scentsy Convention

I have been exited about this year's Scentsy convention since it was announced last year!  The excitement wasn't so much about Vegas itself--I don't gamble or stay up very late--it was the fact that Celine Dion is back performing at Caesar's Palace (I think just until sometime this month).  So I flew in to Vegas on Wednesday of last week, made some new friends, and hit up the opening session and parties for convention.  Thursday started off great with Donnie & Marie Osmond, and got better and better with the announcements about all the new Scentsy Fragrance products, not to mention a whole NEW BRAND: Grace Adele.  That evening, I went to the strip with some people and we walked around and watched the water show at Bellagio.  That's pretty cool.  (What's not cool is the large blister I got on the bottom of my foot that now appears to have a pus pocket.  Yeah, grosses me out too.)  During Friday's sessions, we heard a couple of pretty great speakers: The Barefoot Executive and Dewitt Jones.  Scentsy wrapped things up at awards night with comedian Mac King and a Colbie Caillat concert.  Saturday, I got to sleep in a little.  Then I moved my stuff from the Riviera across the street to Circus Circus, walked to the monorail station at LVH and went to the strip.  It's very different there during the day!  I wanted to go back and grab lunch for my mom (she flew in around noon on Saturday) and me from Pink's World Famous Hotdog Stand.  Apparently, it's been on the Travel Channel and such...I just wanted to go because it's called "Pink's."  By the time I got back to Circus Circus I had walked about 4 miles and was starving.  My mom had just gotten there, so we ate and then it was time to check-in.  I was very glad when we got up to the room and I was able to take my shoes off.  That didn't last very long though because my mom wanted to go to the Adventure Dome.  Seriously.  Then she decided we were going to ride the roller coaster.  Adrenaline junkie.  At last, it was time to get ready for the CELINE DION CONCERT!!!  I have been a fan since 2nd grade.  Mom was generous enough to get me tickets for my birthday in January and fly up to see the concert with me.  IT. WAS. AMAZING.  Celine actually sounds better live than recorded.  Incredible.  I'm so glad I got to experience her concert!  Enough chit chat.  Here are the pictures:

The BIG event of the week!

It was lots and lots of fun!  My one travel tip would be to plan on a bus pass, unless your hotel actually has a monorail stop.  Also, you should see Celine.  That is all.
