Vegas

Las Vegas in pictures! Pete and I decided we would head to Vegas for our 10th Anniversary. Pete's parents very kindly came into town to care for the crew while we were away. We headed out Sunday afternoon and returned Thursday afternoon.



This is the view from our room to the left and to the right. I have no idea what is north, south, east, and west in this city. We were on the 49th floor of a 56 story hotel. My ears popped every trip up and every trip down that elevator! We had a very nice room with a fantastic view! Our room was very nice, it had remote shades and curtains! That part cracked me up! a pretty cool feature though!


This is the strip by day. We managed to walk from Mandalay Bay to Circus Circus! It is like a 5 mile walk, granted we did not walk it in one fell swoop but we did walk a ton everyday! It was very neat to see each of the hotels and check out all the things each of them had to offer. I do not have a favorite but Paris, New York, Ceasars and the Venetian were on the top of my list.






This is the night view from our room, straight across from the Effel Tower look out and overlooking the Bellagio water fountains. We were able to enjoy a show every 15 minutes right from our window.



It was a little intimidating to look up that tower and know we were about to go to the top of it!






We made it! It is a glass elevator I might add!


This is looking to the right from the top of the tower.














This is looking to the left at the top of the tower. Our hotel set back to the right of this picture a bit. What we learned was with some binoculars one could watch the t.v. in our room from the tower!! yikes









One of the shows we went to was Penn and Teller. A magician/comedy act. A very funny show. After they came to the lobby and I was able to get a photo with each of them, however the one with Teller was to blurry to post. Penn is extremely tall and though Teller says nothing in the show he does have a voice! OK so imagine the photo here, I had it here and hit delete accidently and now I can not get it to come back to the spot. Sorry, just pretend it is here! ha
Another show was the Price Is Right, after a ticket mix up we were given booth seats in the front! It was very entertaining, neither of us got called up but it was fun none the less.











So this is the magical water fountain view from our room, pretty amazing! It is a spectacular show that is set precisly to beautiful music!



We enjoyed many other shows along the strip. We enjoyed a romantic gondala ride(the camera battery was dead for that adventure:~( )and Treasure Islands's Pirate Show, and the locals who were dressed up like everyone from Star Wars characters to Woody from Toy story.








Our last night in Vegas ended with a beautiful sunset. We managed to enjoy a couple drinks, did a little gambling but mostly just enjoyed our time together! It was such a blessing to have 4 whole days to ourselves and our schedules and decisions. We were able to have complete conversations and enjoy hot food. It made me fall in love all over again. 10 years of marriage has gone by so quickly. I pray the next 10 years will be filled with so many blessings and memories and love!
Good bye Las Vegas it was a wonderful trip, definately worth the visit!
