Rolonda’s New Years Eve

January 12, 2010

I had the most amazing and magical New Year’s Eve this year as, with a kiss, I brought in 2010. I spent it with my family, friends, and my sweetie in Las Vegas, and, boy, did we have a blast!

Now, I am not a gambler, and never dreamed I would ever spend a New Year’s week in Vegas, but I could not resist the surprising invitation I got from Vincent Grucci of the Grucci fireworks family fame. They display some of the best firework shows on earth, from New York, to Dubai, Miami, and Las Vegas. Vinny invited me and mine to sit in the Grucci rooftop control tower while they blasted off the most awesome fireworks display from seven different locations throughout Sin City! It was off the chain!

I also got to see Bette Midler’s amazing show before it closes at the end of the month. Bette has forever been one of my favorite performers and, once again, she didn’t let me down.

I also saw the sexy, risque, and jaw-dropping “Zumanity” by Cirque du Soleil. (Glad we didn’t take Mom to that one! LOL ) My boyfriend, Tyrone, hit it big on the slots—so he treated me to a lovely spa day. We ate great food—had loads of laughs—lost loads of money—but had a great time. I even learned how to play Black Jack, Three-card poker, and now have more respect for The Wheel of Fortune Slot machine! Here’re some shots of our good times….
