Stay-cation~Lake Las Vegas

This weekend I turn 22, and for my birthday my family was going to take a trip down to my Aunt's beach house in Mexico. The week before we were supposed to go, my cousin was staying there and her car got stolen right out of the guard gated community! My Mom just bought a new car so we decided not to chance it. I was really bummed that we weren't going, but McKay surprised me and told me he was going to take me to Lake Las Vegas on Friday night and spend the day there on Saturday. We had such an amazing, romantic time. I don't know how he does it, but every year McKay manages to somehow make every birthday better than the last. He's incredible. We stayed at the Hilton hotel and resort. Our room was stunning, the views were incredible, and we had such a great time. If you live in Vegas or are just vacationing here, I highly reccomend staying at Lake Las Vegas. It is like a mini Tuscany. They have the quaintest little shops, and the tastiest restaurants. You have an amazing view of the lake almost everywhere you go, and you can rent boats and canoes to ride on said Lake. It's just beautiful. We ate at the most incredible stake house called Sunset & Vine. {I will probably be dreaming about my filet minon for the next couple of weeks.} We explored the village, swam at the pool, and just had a relaxing time.
