Vegas Vacation - Part 1
I tried to post about our trip out west the other day but Blogger didn't like me.
D and I flew out to Las Vegas on Monday, March 27th. We were there until the Thursday the 30th. We don't gamble much so we spent most of our time sightseeing. Monday we went to downtown Vegas and Freemont St. with Mom and K. It was cool seeing all those casinos from the old movies.
Tuesday, we were going to spend walking up the Strip but it started raining right after we ate lunch. We ended up spending most of the afternoon walking through all the shops at Ceaser's to stay dry. It did finally stop raining that night so we drove up to the far end of the Strip to MGM and New York, New York.
Wednesday was taken up with wedding stuff (separate post to follow). That night we did explore the rest of the Strip and go see a Prince cover band called Purple Reign. D loves Prince so it was the perfect band for us to see. The singer looked just like Prince too.
We were going to leave early Thursday to drive to Park City, Utah to visit one of D's high school friends but we decided to meet in southern Utah instead so we didn't have to leave as early. That morning, we drove outside of Vegas to the Carrol Shelby factory where they make Cobras. They have one tour a day at 10:30 that takes you into the shop where they actually make the cars. Next door to that is the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. We drove around it taking a few pictures for D's mom. We even went into an "authorized personnel only" spot until the security guard caught us. He was cool though. He told us to go to the infield to meet one of the Petty's but we didn't have time to.
After we got back into Vegas, we did the only thing I wanted to do in Vegas, ride the gondola at the Venetian. I know its kinda cheesy but I really want to ride a real one in Venice and I figured this would tide me over until we get to go to Italy. We ended up having the best guy ever on our gondola. He was the most awesome singer and sang much more than the other ones.
After the gondola, we said goodbye to Mom and K and took off for Utah.
Here are some pictures from Vegas:
