Well we got off on Sunday. We couldn't find the camera charger...of course! I found it today at work in my work bag. So before taking off we made a mad dash to Best Buy to Mall of America for a universal charger, we were in luck!
Las Vegas was a little chilly and little rainy at times. But overall a great trip.
The Food
We dined on a few favorites that are hard to come by in the Rochester area including sushi and dim sum. Enjoyed the Bellagio buffet...prime rib, seafood and some very decadent desserts. On top of the "free" drinks. I slipped Miami Vices as Craig took in anything with Whiskey (Gross!)
The Entertainment
We planned ahead and got discount tickets to a Cirque de Soleil show-Mystere at Treasure Island. The show was amazing! Worth every penny, very neat! Since we had planned to spend some time laying the pool, which was closed because it was too cold. So we decided to pick up another show. We ended up seeing Jubilee at Bally's. It was everything of Vegas I was expecting, the big head-dresses, feathers, and sequins. When we were buying tickets the lady next to us had an extra 2 for 1 coupon, so the show was even better.
Gaming
We lost some, we won some...over all a good time. We loved playing Rapid Roulette, video poker and the slot game Texas Tea. We played all over the strip, but those games were our favorites.
One of the best things in Vegas, besides the above is the people watching!!! So many characters all in one place!
Now for the Photos:
Craig outside the fountains at Bellagio
MnM World...check out all the different colors!
Craig with our "Around the World" Coca-Cola Sampler. Some were gross and some were good.
Callie outside NY NY, hoping to cross this one off our list this year too.
It seems like a lot of Europe is in Vegas, guess I will have to settle for this as my European experience for now. The gondola ride at the Venetian.
Going out for the night, check out the art work. If you have taken the art tour at Mayo Clinic you will know the artist. It's Chilhuly!
The trademark sign of Vegas-check out my plaid shoes. PS we walked all the way down there too, it was a haul!
Craig and the Eiffel Tower at Paris
The Golden Nugget-Dad's Place
Wild Cherry Slots-Mom's Game
Overall a wonderful trip and defiantly plan on going back. Now back to the real world to make some moo-la to save up for our next adventure.
What fun you must have had!! Great to be young and get to do things. Great to be old and do things! Vegas is a fun place, like no other. One has to go to understand what it is like. Always have a plan, then work the plan.
