Las Vegas...what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, right? That may be the case most of the time, but I am willing to tell you whatever you want to know. Kera and Katherine drove up to Phoenix on Friday night, and we left by 6:30 on Saturday morning to begin our journey. First stop...Starbuck's! We arrived in Vegas by late morning, and didn't waste much time before we began our 7 hours of walking south on the strip from our hotel (Harrah's). Lots of people watching, window shopping, with the occasional slip of the dollar into the penny slots. Jackpot Party became our favorite slot machine; nobody won, but it had fun music and you got to pick presents:))
We ate dinner on the rooftop of Margaritaville, then it was off to watch the water fountain show at the Bellagio (which is spectacular).
Sunday morning (while most were still in bed), we walked north on the strip to enjoy the Venetian and the Wynn...which are beautiful.
On the drive back, we took over an hour to go 3 miles to cross Hoover Dam. When we got to the dam, we thought it would be worth it for Krisanne to jump out (while we are crawling in traffic) to take a few pictures then jump back in. Well, she jumped out and as she did, the traffic began moving, so I had to keep moving, and we ended up leaving her on the dam. (But she got some amazing pictures; and she says one of her favorite parts was running across the dam).
We found a spot to wait for her, but it was half way up the mountain leaving the dam. She literally ran up to us, laughing and yelling "I ran across the dam".Fun time spent in Vegas, and I only lost $16 in the slot machines!!!
