{Tipful Tuesdays}

If you're in the Vegas area, you NEED to check out We Luv Locals.
They have some pretty sweet deals. Our favorites so far have been FREE STAYS at various hotels in the valley. We decided to try out a FREE room at Sunset Station a few weeks ago. Loved it! 
We hung out by the pool and finished homework.
Went to the movies [Captain America].
Went bowling. 
Guess whose high score that is???
yes, it'S is me!!! I'll probably never score that high ever again. And David will probably never score that low. ha!
The best part was having a freezing cold room! Seriously. 
handsome
Last Tuesday David scored another FREE room at the Green Valley Ranch Resort, the Terra Verde coupon mentioned yesterday, and 2 for 1 massages at the Spa.  Can you say STEAL of a DEAL? Since we don't want to put out the gas money and all the other expenses associated with vacationing out of town, we are loving these little one night "staycations".
Can we talk about GVR? 

When we were at the pool it really felt like we were in some high class resort in the mediterranean. Or something. It was so nice.

And the spa. OH THE SPA!!! Out of this world. We have never done something like that before. It had it's own secluded pool. Jacuzzi's. Saunas. Steam Rooms. Anything that you could need/want. Luxuriousness to the extreme. We will most definitely be going back again [if we can snag another awesome deal].

Also, we went to Harry Potter. Finally! The last few months we've had all the HP's lined up in our netflix cue. David needed to watch every single one before we saw the last, wife's orders. We finished 7 part 1 a few days after the final one came out, but our schedules hadn't allowed us time to go to the theater. It was driving me crazy that I had to wait 3 weeks to see the last installment.
We both loved it! However, I was fairly distraught through it all knowing that this was the last one. It's hard to come to terms with the fact that there will be no more new HP. The books started when I was in elementary school and the Deathly Hallows came out the summer before Senior Year. That's a lot of years of looking forward to a new book or movie! I'm getting kind of teary over the fact that it's done. [ok, not really. but I really am rather emotional about the whole thing] I keep telling David he has to read the books. There's so much more to the story that you just can't get from watching a movie.
Most of the casino/hotels in the valley have movie theaters in them, so it makes it way too easy to put out money to go to the "nice movie theater". We usually just go to the "ghettodome" for $4.25.
I'm getting distracted. 
What was the point of this post again?
right. Tuesday Tip: Check out We Luv Locals!

Awesome that you guys got the GVR one, it was long gone by the time I checked that day! We just went to the Fiesta for free last night. Not nearly as nice but it was still a fun free night with the kiddos :) Gotta agree with the frozen room. Not a bad deal when someone else is paying for it!!
