Los Vagas

So we've planned a very spur-of-moment trip to Las Vegas for Easter weekend.

What better way to celebrate the resurrection of our Lord?!

My sister called me a couple of weeks ago and said, "Easter is cancelled!" I'm like...what? Because I thought maybe the Second Coming had happened and no one told me, or James Cameron found out the whole "resurrection" thing was a hoax. But no, she just meant that our parents were going on some kind of reunion trip that would have them in Las Vegas for Easter, so the usual get together at the family home in Jersey was not happening. After a few moments of thought, I said...

"Let's go to Vegas."

So we started thinking about it and throwing together plans, and here we are!

We got the world's most cheap-ass tickets from JetBlue: $99 each way, which was somehow only miraculously available for a few hours on Tuesday. When I had checked a few hours earlier, the "from Vegas" price was $199. Then it went down. Now it's back up to $199/$149 each way! Whee!

Prolix and Husband are coming with us. (Younger sister Xtina and husband cannot make it due to financial troubles.) We've got a "spa suite" at the Luxor to stay in. I'm sure the weather will be lovely because it's the DESERT. We're talking about going to good restaurants and to see the MGM's lion habitrail, and possibly seeing Cirque du Soleil "Love" (aka the Beatles gig.)

So what should we go do? What should we see? Any recommendations? Any tales of debauchery? To hell with this, "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" crap! Spill!!

Also, if anyone has any stories about JetBlue, good or bad, we've never flown with them before so we'd love to hear them! (Yeah we know about the whole stuck-on-the-runway-for-nine-hours thing, but we consider that an anomaly, and they've more than tried to make up to their customers for it.)
