Las Vegas!

Our trip to Las Vegas was so much fun! There was tons of things to do and see, and so little time!! Hopefully in the next few years we can go back again. Before doing this post I felt a little overwhelmed trying to pick the pictures to post! Just so you know please ask to see the rest!!

The Beginning!





It's rumored that when your in Vegas you lose all track of time, and that is sooo very true. As soon as our shuttle dropped us off at our hotel we checked in, and headed to "Fremont Street"

About a year ago I watched "Sex and Lies in Sin City" on the lifetime movie network, the whole movie was about Binon's Gambling Hall. I told Gerald I want to go there, well I was VERY excited to finally go!!!



I was even more excited when I walked into Binon's and they had this slot machine!!!


Us in front of a classic Vegas Casino. At this time it is about three in the morning, but you would have never known it.

Finally, after the fiasco finding our way back to the strip we went to bed at about 4:30AM (6:30AM Texas Time!) Sunday morning we woke up at about 11:30, dressed for the day and set out.



This was almost the luckiest we got! In Harrah's Gerald spent $1.00 on a slot machine and ended up winning $11.20+a free drink!


Then we went to the Venitian, Gorgeous Hotel & Casino! We played some slots, and got some free gaming lessons.
After the Venetian we went into a couple of other casinos, my pursed got cut and we headed back to our room to get ready for the night.

We had dinner at Pampas, and for the most part I didn't have a camera. But the restaurant was an all you could eat Brazilian Buffet. The way they served was like we had never had it done before and very cool!

Ready to party!:)



After dinner we went to this club at the Bellagio, no pun here, but "The Bank" was a very highly recommended one for a Sunday night.

It's no secret that we aren't the partying type, so after about two hours we had changed and were back in "comfy clothes" walking the strip.

Monday we woke up and pretty much went to every single Casino! Sunday we didn't use our time very efficiently so we had lots of catching up to do! First we saw the Bellagio Gardens. Gorgeous!!
This snowman (and every other display) was completely made out of flowers!


Gerald was very excited to see the pyramids at the Luxor. The inside of the Hotel & Casino were gorgeous, but they did not allow pictures! New York New York Hotel and Casino was very cool!We also went into M&M World. The place was huge, and FOUR stories high full of nothing but M&M's and the smell of M&M'S!!




Shortly after taking this photo we went to the top of the Eiffel Tower!

Bird's Eye View South of the Strip.


Bird's Eye View North of the Strip.

When you go to Vegas you HAVE to see the Bellagio Water Fountains. We saw it from above and at eye level. Watching it from up high is way better than eye level. But they both are awesome!

While walking the strip we were offered a "King Sandwich for some Tips", we took the offer and we were so very excited!!
Right before our Shuttle picked us up Gerald found his other lucky spot. He put $10.00 on the blackjack table, was dealt a jack and an ace and walked away with $22.00!!

I have so many more pictures and stories,the length of this blog would have been FOREVER. I am so happy we got to take this trip and I got to put another scratch through my bucket list!!
