VIVA LAS VEGAS

Hi from Las Vegas!!

Well, what can I say, there's nothing like going from "Heaven" to "Sin City" in one day!!!  lol

BUT the best part of this trip was that my Sis Elizabeth and her hubby Keith from Idaho met us at Lake Mead and then we came over to Las Vegas.  We couldn't have asked for a better "tour guide" of Las Vegas - she knew exactly where to go and what to do. (So for once I listened to my "younger" Sis!) It's almost like she'd been here many many times before - hummm.   But we had the best time - the weather was great, the food was great, and the company was fantastic!  Here are just a few of the pics that we took - some nobody will see - as they say - what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas -  enjoy.


                             Discussing our strategy of where to go on the strip.


                       Decided to go the old Vegas strip first -  I think I liked this best.




And here's why!!!  It was Elvis week - woo hoo - every year they hold the Elvis competition  and they come in from all over the world to compete - we might be in "Sin City" but I was in 7th heaven for sure. 


We saw the last 21 in competition -



            The light show on the old Vegas strip was great - this was the start of it.


        AND after a LATE evening we went to Mandalay Bay for lunch the next day.


Our view from the terrace at lunch. 


Our view of the "very nice" cabana's



                   Working on how to get this into or onto our home -  I was informed that it would not fit below with his tools!!   (party pooper for sure)


                                          The Venetian Hotel  - very romantic.


               Elizabeth and I deciding which Venetian Shop we would like to shop in.  As you can see Keith walking away and Will way way below taking the pic! lol 


                         On the ceiling of the Lobby in the Venetian - so beautilful.     

                          
                                           Butterfly exhibit at the Venetian


               Have never seen one of these - Don please let me know what it's called.




And only Vegas could have a mermaid at Bass Pro  - she's feeding the fish - which included the sharks!!


Tried to get a sunset picture to close out but as they say - the sun never sets in Vegas - this was the best I could find for a ENDing!! Couple guys I know enjoyed the uhhh sunset!! 

P.S.  Thank you Sis and Keith for making our visit to Las Vegas a great time and a very great memory - and we thank Vegas for the $600 we walked away with - and not all at one time if the IRS is peeking!!  

P.P.S.S.  Elvis is ALIVE!!! 

later xoxo
