Las Vegas, Nevada

Kevin and I took off Tuesday, Nov. 26 and headed to Vegas.  We left the boys with my parents.  They went to the beach in the RV and then spent the rest of the week playing at grandma and grandpa's house.  I don't think they missed us at all.
See that giant slot machine?  It was $2.00 a spin.  Lots of people tried it...and lots of people lost.  It seemed to take a lot of effort to pull that handle down.  This group of 4 ladies won twice (not sure how much), but they put their money right back in and then left with their winnings.
These flowers are on the ceiling of the Bellagio lobby.  They are Chihuly flowers, and yes, they are glass.  They are so pretty. This hotel is always so pretty to walk through.  
I really like the look of the Paris casino.  It's pretty in the day, and it's pretty at night.  Know what else is pretty?  That butt on the light board in front of Bally's.  It's advertising their big show, Jubilee.  We didn't see that one.  We did see "O" at Bellagio (an awesome Cirque du Soleil show with water) and "Mamma Mia" at Mandalay Bay.  Of course you already know how I feel about that one!  December 16!  The movie DVD is out December 16!
The view from our hotel room.  Kevin did the $20 "trick" to upgrade our room.  I'm not sure it worked entirely as it seemed like a standard room to me.  We were on the 14th floor and the room had been remodeled, so maybe it did work.  We could kinda see the strip-oh and the top and side of parking garages.

Kevin drinking diet Pepsi this time.  We did try us some jello shots.  We were resting our feet here, waiting to see "Mamma Mia."
