After the big win on Monday night we headed back to Scottsdale. We had to get plenty of rest b/c our trip wasn’t over yet. We hit the road early on Tuesday morning back to Vegas. The drive was so scenic, we really didn’t mind driving the 4.5 hours again. Many AU people had our same idea b/c we saw many rental cars w/ their AU flags on our way back to Vegas. Our friends decided to spend Tuesday golfing in Phoenix and my parents flew out of Tuscon on Wednesday. We had a blast being with friends and family, but it was nice to spend a little alone time in Vegas.
We decided to splurge our last night in Vegas and stay at The Venetian…which was fabulous I must say!! We finished our trip w/ a little shopping, a wonderful dinner at Jasmine in the Bellagio, and took in a Cirque du Soleil show-KA (highly recommended!!). I originally wanted to see Cher, but decided Jason probably would not enjoy it too much (haha). We compromised and saw something we both would like; and I was highly pleased with KA!!
Our last night in Vegas was a perfect ending to a wonderful trip! Our 12:30 flight back to Memphis came too soon on Wednesday. We did not want to come home :( We feel very fortunate that we were able to see AU become National Champions in person. It is something I will never forget and a memory I will cherish forever. I’m already looking forward to next football season (even though Cam is going pro)!! Enjoy the pics below :)

Making our way back to the MGM Grand for our show- KA!! Thought this was a pretty view of The Bellagio.
We ended our Vegas trip by going to see KA. The set, acrobatics and costumes were amazing!! We would highly recommend this to anyone going to Vegas. It was a great way to end a wonderful vacation!!
