I had a great time on vacation. Vegas is such a busy place, with so much to do. Now that I am home I feel a bit empty..like I left some of myself in Vegas. I never imagined I would love a place like that. We stayed at the Stratosphere which is at North end of the strip. The first day we got ambitious and walked...bad idea. Things look so close together but they are a hike from one hotel to another. We tried to see and do as much as possible while we were there.
The lights of Vegas are so beautiful. During the day the whole town looks a bit awkward, but at night the sights are amazing. We spent alot of time just exploring. Each hotel has lots to offer as far as entertainment. I would have liked to make to all of them but that is just impossible in one trip. I absolutely loved the Venetian!(below) The food there was amazing. I really don't like pizza but it was the best pizza I have ever had.
Next time we go to Vegas I am defiantely staying at the Venetian or the Luxor. They were both amazing hotels. One of the things I enjoyed the most was the wax museum...here is one of Joe with the godfather.
Here's me with Dale Jr. :)
The buses in Vegas are called the Deuce! I know funny right. We actually rode the bus every where we went. For $5 a day you can't beat that. We took the bus up to old Vegas, or Freemont street one night. We meet a family that was from Kansas, Brittany and one of the guys really hit it off and she had someone to hang out with for a few days so that was nice. Old Vegas is what you see in older movies, with the waving cowboy. It is a whole different atmosphere than the strip. Alot less people!
Now to the most exciting part. The night we went to Luxor for dinner I kept saying we were going to see Criss Angel while we were there. We love that show! Anyway we ate dinner and Brittany met the guy Tom from Kansas to go to the LAX club in the Luxor and we were going to head back to the hotel to relax. Well we decided to play a few slot machines before leaving. I was playing penny wheel of fortune.. and I won $15 bucks! :) we got up and who was going into the back of the club...Criss Angel!!! I was so excited! I went around and found Brittany in line for the club to tell her Criss Angel just went in. She said she saw him come down from the vip and moved closer to where he was. She looked up and he was standing right next to her. She said "Criss!" and he looked at her and she said "HI" lol he put his arm around her and they chatted for a few minutes about a tatoo a girl had. She was really mad though because his body guard wouldn't let her get a picture with him. It was definately and experience of a life time!
I miss Vegas!! I think we are going to go back in a few years...it was honestly the best vacation we have been on so far.
