What Happens in Vegas...part two

 Please forgive me...I posted a few lot of pictures of things we saw on the strip and inside some of the casinos in Las Vegas.  I did use quite a bit of restraint...I took over 300 pictures and am only posting a small sampling of them. 


 This spray of water looked like it was in a tube.  It arched over a walkway.  My Brilliant Husband stuck his finger in it to prove that he was right.  It wasn't in a tube...and we got wet. 


 This butterfly house was inside a casino.

One thing that surprised me were the outdoor escalators and walkways over the street.
 Isn't this a cool chandelier?
 The Bellagio had a ferris wheel inside it!
 I can't remember which casino had a merry-go-round in it.
 Another cool chandelier!


 Did anyone see the movie Big?  Zoltar was at Circus Circus Casino.


 This was an awesome shopping mall!




 Quite a few of the casinos had fake grass!
 There were lots of sparkly lights...
 Sadly, the Sahara is closing it's doors according to a newspaper we saw when we were leaving for home.  We thought it was awfully quiet in there...
 We also saw the Brooklyn Bridge and a tug boat.  The inside of the New York, New York Casino was full of "buildings" that looked like brownstones and apartments...It was very cool!
We didn't make it to this casino, but it looked really fun...

Thanks for stopping in and checking out part two of our 25th anniversary trip.  If you missed part one you can check it out here.  I'll be posting part three on Monday.  (My sister is coming for a long weekend, so I won't be posting on Sunday night...)

What is the most interesting place you have been to on holiday?

What Happens in Vegas...part one

Sorry I was absent from Blogland last week.  
It was my Brilliant Husband's and my 25th anniversary. 
We took a four day weekend and went to Las Vegas...alone. 
 This was the view of the Strip from our room...
 This was looking the other direction...Check out those beautiful mountains!
 Our lovely room at the Mirage...

 Our bathroom...
 Isn't this great carpet...(Yeah, I know photographing the carpet is strange.)
 Twenty-five years is a long time to stay together...
 But a trip to Vegas is a nice reward for being a  loving girlfriend for two years and a devoted wife for 25 years.
 I know  you are all worried that I lost Katherine's college money...but we  I didn't. 
I played around $5 in slots at about 12 casinos... (I used a lot of self-control!)
We went to Cirque Du Soleil The Beatles LOVE show...It was super!

Have you been to Las Vegas?  What did you think???
