So if you haven't figured it out yet, we're on a massive 6 week vacation. On the way home from Utah we decided to stop in Vegas for a few days and try our luck! We visited the hotels/casinos, ate great food, caught a show, went shopping and just enjoyed the city and everything it has to offer. Well, not everything, but we had a good time. The crazies were out in full force being New Years and all.
Here I am just minutes after my proud victory in the New York, New York Casino. I won $55 in the dime slots off 2 dollars!!! Not bad for my first time back in Vegas when I am actually old enough to gamble!
Here's Jose on the strip with our hotel behind him. We stayed at the recently re-imaged Planet Hollywood. We did lots of walking on our trip and at one point had to stop and buy Jose flip flops so he could make it back!
And we of course made time to catch a show of the fountains at the Bellagio. We could actually see it out our hotel window. Ocean's 11 anyone?
And here I am doing a little people watching in the shops at the Palazzo (the new part of the Venetian). We went to see "Jersey Boys" there (HIGHLY reccomended!) but we were a little early. We didn't quite realize that UT & NV were in different time zones. Oops!
On a side note, Vegas is a great place to go right now with the struggling economy. Rooms are super cheap and we even got our seats upgraded free at the show because it didn't sell out. And if you can manage to win some money, it makes it even cheaper! : )
