Wow! Photo overload! Haha.. Sorry about that, if this page took a while to load.. :)
But that pretty much sums up Las Vegas... there is so much to see and do and if you don't have the time (you need at least 5-6 days) to do it all, like us, you get way overwhelmed! Lights! Noise! Traffic! Heat! Smoke! (yes! ugh! Worst part!) Anyway, it was a total blast though and I would like to do Vegas again sometime...at a much slower pace and do more of the spa/shopping side of things... :) Anyway! Here was are! Las Vegas! Let's dive in, shall we!
Home sweet home for the next three nights! It was a brisk 61 degrees (16 C) when we opened the door to our room and it was a welcome welcome temperature! We laid on the bed for like 20 minutes, not even moving, just soaking in the A/C! Let's just say the ride through the city to get to our hotel was hot. Ok, very hot. Ok, ridiculously hot. :) This was so very much needed!
First thing we do is check out the pool area! Obviously! :) That's me, all bundled up (as Tyler likes to say) and my sunscreen in hand... hey! I didn't want to get burnt, ok!? And yes, I had my bathing suit on underneath this get up.. :)
Bliss!
Later that afternoon, we headed to the Strip! Now this is where all the excitement is!
First stop was the MGM!
The Lion Habitat was the coolest...
Two big mama lions...
Just outside the Rainforest Cafe, at the MGM..
Next, it was onto the Bellagio.. we passed by the Aria (in the background, on the left of the picture) and actually ended up there for a late night snack later in the day before we went back to our hotel... It was my favourite hotel. :)
Harley Davidson Cafe! We thought it was a dealership, but no such luck! Oh well, it was fun to check out anyway!
Tyler at the Harley Cafe..
Where I can't afford to shop... hahah.. :)
Crossing over a foot bridge to get to the Bellagio.. :)
Yay! Finally arrived! All these hotel properties look so close together, but they are not! We enjoyed the shade and the water for minute... :) We would be meeting Orlyn and Lori for supper here, so we just killed some time by touring around the hotel...
Right across the street is Paris! :) So pretty!
After supper, we came out to enjoy the lights and a water show in front of the Bellagio! It was amazing! I will be posting a video of the fountains on my YouTube channel soon. :)
The Bellagio
Water Fountain Show!! The shows are done in time to music.. this one was done to This Kiss by Faith Hill... so romantic! With the lights and the water and the music and the warm night air... it just makes you want to snuggle up by your sweetie!! :)
On our way to Caesar's Palace now! Crossing over another foot bridge...
Hello, Caesar's Palace!
The beautifully painted ceilings! Totally makes you feel like you are outside! I loved it!
Our Las Vegas travelling buddies, Orlyn and Lori!
Good bye South Point! This our last day at our hotel.. :(
A super friendly couple from Florida took this picture for us! :) 2 minutes later a big thunderstorm rolled in, so we all had to clear the pool.. :( It's Vegas! It's not suppose to rain, right?!
Our last pic of the trip! Tyler doing some work at our hotel in Provo, UT! Another two days of driving and we were home, after this! :)
Whew! All done! :) This was one of the most memorable trips we have ever gone on. I can't wait to do another one. There is so much to see and do, right on our own continent! And I wait to explore it all! :)
What about you guys? Any places your dying to visit? I love travel stories, so let me know! :)
Hope everyone is having a happy and restful Sunday!
Until next time
