Vegas Vacation....

...so i'm back! I had a fantastic time...Vegas is a place like no other. It was real hot - 110 Degrees everyday....but a dip in the pool and a strawberry daquiri solved that problem. We did lots and there's still lots I didn't do. The highlights would be Zumanity - Cirque Du Soleil, the water show at the Bellagio, CSI Experience, The Mentalist (which is a magic show), HOover Dam, Freemont Street, Madame Tussauds and lounging at the pool.

Rules in Vegas don't apply. You can drink everywhere other than in a vehicle...even cup holders right next to the toilet! As you walk down the street people hand you catalogues and cards of women you can order for the night. Hubby was amaed at the difference in prices hehehe....some were $110 and others offered a $41 special...not sure what the special included but my guess was an STD.

The Hoover Dam was cool. It was just like what you seen in the movies, minus the cars blowing up and the mad car chases. We did the tour inside and saw that power plant Oompa Loompas working away. They looked so small but I guess it's cause we were way up high! Hard to believe that this structure was built 2 years ahead of schedule and under budget AND it was a government funded project....amazing that with all our technology today, we can't accomplish this :P

Went on a time share presentation....I wanted to the free stuff. The man was nice, but boy did he ever turn mean when I said no. He basically insulted me and Hubby then called over this big burley man who then further insulted us....he asked me "why are you going to pay for Paris Hilton's Rehab??" "That's just stupid...but do what you want".....then he chuckled as he walked away.....horrible way to do business if you asked me, but I didn't feel too badly....and we enjoyed the free stuff!

There were women dancing on the tables at the casinos....kinda weird, but especially weird when you see small children walking by with their parents. It amazed me how many kids were there. I'm not sure it's a place for kids...too much drinking, smoking and nudity. They don't call it "Sin City" for nothing! hehehehe

"Viva Las Vegas!!"
