Vegas, Baby!!!



Just returned from a trip to Las Vegas. Went there with some family for my 21st birthday. What better place to ring in this milestone than Vegas.

Had a great time even if I didn't win big. Didn't play any card games, don't know how to play them. I tended to gravitate toward the slot machines. I would have to say that my favorites were this one involving a cheeseburger and another with an I Love Lucy theme. I like a game that has more going on than just pulling the handle. At one point a lady near us won $5,000. Why couldn't that have been one of us?

Loved all the hotels, but the Bellagio was spectacular. It had a beautiful garden with an insect theme. Not to mention the well known fountain display in the evenings.

In our hotel, the Mirage, they have a garden with dolphins and white lions and tigers. These animals are absolutely beautiful. The white tiger cubs were absolutely adorable.

Went to see Love, the Cirque du Solei show with Beatles music. The sets and costumes, and the music of course, were amazing. The acrobatics needs some work though. When I think of a Cirque show I think of the amazing stunts they are known for, but they didn't have much in that department.

Wish my grandmother had had a better time, she was sick for most of the trip.

Can't believe how many time I got carded, it must be my youthful face. Would definitely go back if I got the chance.
