Last week when picking up our mail from the PO boxes I found a great Las Vegas weekly magazine. After scouring the whole magazine for the insider tips on the top things to do in Vegas while we live here, I found a great list of free/cheap things to do. So last Friday evening we went down to the strip (in comfortable shoes this time!) and went to the M&M factory and saw 4 stories of anything and everything you could want of M&M paraphanalia. We saw the M&M show "I lost my M in Vegas". I think Brent was a little embarassed since most of the people at the 8 min show were little kids, but you got to wear 3-D glasses, of course we're going to see the show! :) We then went next door to the Coke factory. We did a "Taste Around the World" and taste tested 16 different kinds of pop made all over the world. It was soo much pop and 2 people should not drink that much pop so quick.We just walked around for a few more hours people watching and stopped at this dueling piano bar. The music was great! We are definately going to have to go back there.
Somehow we got suckered into going to a time share presentation during the evening. I mean, come on, we were just looking at a booth that said "Free tickets, Free shows, Just ask us how!", and we were debating on how this could be true. They definately did not tell us that we would have to sit through a 2-3 hr. presentation when we signed up. But hey, we got free tickets to a show, 2 buffet dinners, and tickets to top of the Stratosphere. It's going to be our Valentine's Day date!
Today we drove to a ski resort on top of Mt. Charleston. The weather has been cool for Vegas and the mountain got 2 1/2 feet of snow this past week. It's hilarious, the radio stations and everyone is talking about how brisk, and chilly, and freezing it is...we're like, you don't even know what freezing is! We just did a little hiking (or more like falling through the deep snow) through a park, went sledding down the hill on cardboard we found, and realized that we should have worn our snow gear... :)

A lot of rambling in this post, sorry!
