Las Vegas

Arrival in Las Vegas...












...these creatures greeted us @ the airport!












Our room!

You can't see the whirlpool tub - behind Dan and in front of the little wall,







or the toilet and shower, on Dan's left!

















View from the room with the Flamingo in the back, and
pool in the front!











Walking the strip! Caesars Palace.



At the old strip is this bar with the aquarium, look close, there is a slide through the aquarium for the swimmers. Yes it is a bar with a pool!

Golden Nugget Casino on the Old Strip! Dan with his two buddies from the olden golden days!
















And here is a Gold Nugget someone found in their
backyard...six inches down...with a metal detector!










Inside the Paris Casino/Hotel it looks like the sidewalks of Paris, France!
We ate breakfast at the Cafeteria/Buffet style, all you can eat...way too much food!

Flamingo Pool area. We came by here all the time so we had to stop and take a picture!



Here is our pool area...connected to the Flamingo pool, we could use either one, but the Flamingo was way to crowded! Before the wedding we decided to rest for a while and have a drink...can you see me? Dan had to go back to the room for the VISA card and took pictures of me sunning. The close up will stay hidden :-) (We stayed at the Hilton Grand Vacations Club @ the Flamingo)






Caesars Palace - look who is always fooling around!
Dan met up with friends he hadn't seen for 40 years...yes, they are all getting up there in age!

































Here is the gift I was going to bring for Kristy...








...sorry, the $1,500 price tag forbid it :-(

The reason we came here:
Bob and Lee Ann's Wedding!
















Me in front of New York, New York!
We are on our way to the Mandalay Bay to see the Broadway musical "Mama Mia". It was great and we enjoyed it tremendously! Now we have to go and see the movie also!


Dan on the bridge overlooking the Strip, with the MGM Grand and New York New York!

















Playing the slots trying to win the car! Hah...these are the 2 cent slots and we would have to pay the max to win the car...we don't even know what the max is :-)

















In front of Excalibur Casino...don't let
yourself be fooled, this is a big place!














The Lion Habitat at the MGM Grand...yes, they actually have people walking around the lion exhibit!



One more stop at the slots in the Airport...jack pot!

  2. Yeah, I'm with Jiffany. Your big Bush Blowout in Vegas is gonna' make it EXTRA hard to go back to work on Wednesday.

    (insert evil BWAH-HA-HA laughter here by the person whose only summer adventures were moving and dealing with the mouse infestation at CHS...going back to work sounds like a Field Day to me!)
