I had Monday off for Labor Day, just like everyone else, except that it was my first real, all day long, day off in 2 weeks and for the next 3 weeks.

So at 3:30pm I spontaneously decided to be on the 6:45pm flight to Las Vegas to see the Cirque du Soleil show Le R?™ve at 10:30pm.

We arrived at 7:35pm, checked into our hotel, ate some yummy dinner and took a cab down the strip to The Wynn, where the show is playing.

It was so beautiful, with eye candy everywhere ~ it was a lovely celebration of human form, strength of both women and men, water, air, love and dreams. I actually gasped a number of times and was delighted to be sitting in a splash zone (which really just a meant a few sprinkles here and there).

After the show we walked back down the strip toward our hotel, stopping at every 3rd or 4th hotel/casino for a drink at the bar. Getting a little hot and tired of walking, we asked a waiter where the best pole dancers in the city were (for research, of course!) and went to check them out. Their pole skills left something to be desired, but it was quite the interesting people watching venue.

Finally, at 3:30 or 4am we arrived back to the hotel , where we slept until our wake-up call at 6am.

We then returned on the 2nd flight of day back to LAX and I was at rehearsal by 12pm today.

It was a rather quick, crazy, spontaneous trip that was totally awesome and a much needed break from the norm that left me completely exhausted, yet refreshed!
