Vegas, Baby!!

Viva Las Vegas!


Swimming at Great Pools!

Please ignore my white legs, lest you forget I'm a MOM!! :)


Yummy Food!

(This was my breakfast on one day. It was at the House of Blues cafe inside of Mandalay Bay.) Way more than one can eat!!



Seeing the architecture and lights of the Casino's


This Casino is called, the Paris Hotel. I'm sure I'm the only one who did not know about Las Vegas and how so many of the Casino's have a theme to them. They seem to characterize the architecture and atmosphere of each particular style very accurately!

The water fountains and lights at the Bellagio.


This was one of my favorite things to see in Vegas. It is in front of the The Bellagio and the water dances to the music and lights. It happens every 15 minutes day and night. They have many different songs, water 'dances'. The one we watched was choreographed to Celine Dion's, My Heart will Go On. Thanks for the tip, Amy!


Another Casino.


Me and Caesar, in Caesar's Palace. If I don't look overly enthused, it's because it was waaay past my bedtime and I was tired!! It really was exciting! :)



I thought Las Vegas was so much more than Casino's and smoke. I did not realize that it has great food, great swimming, great shows, and so much more! While there, I was also able to meet up with a friend, while Laren was at work, for lunch at the Hard Rock Cafe. We also drove up to see the Temple, went shopping on The Strip, saw a Show and we even got Lucky...more on that later!!

I'm so glad you had fun, though I'm not sure I want to know just how "lucky" you got... ha ha ha!

Denise said...

LOL! Do I dare ask about getting lucky? I love the Bellagio fountains. Did you go inside to see the conservatory, too? Just gorgeous.

You'll get no comments from me about your white legs. That would be the pot calling the kettle...er...white.

Being tan is over-rated.... that's what I have to keep telling myself. Looks like you had a good time!
