What Have I Been Up To...

...Sinning! "Sin City" that is! Yes, at 33 I finally have made my way westward to Las Vegas. Jeremy and I had a fabulous time without the kiddos just walking and people watching and walking and people watching and OH, did I mention walking and people watching? I have to say for people who don't gamble, go out clubbing or want to pay big bucks for shows, we were out of our element. However we did take advantage of all the food and free stuff we could take in!

I was in awe of the mere beauty of the surrounding mountains. I guess because I live in flat Oklahoma I never expected the dessert to be so amazing. Up in the Stratosphere you could see that for sure.

We didn't go in all, but we did visit 90 percent of the casinos just to see what they had inside. Most were unbelievable!! The grand scale of these creations are hard to grasp unless you see them for yourself. It is hard to say which were my favorites, however New York, New York, Paris and the Venetian would all have to be in my top favorites for different reasons.

And of course the the most important thing on my list to see were the fountains outside the Bellagio (like the ones at the end of Ocean's Eleven)...Breathtaking! Just by chance we stumbled upon a show at the Palazzo. These women, dressed as statues, that did beautiful movements in a fountain to music with water coming out of their fingers. It was call the Living Garden.

I am feeling I have had my fill of the Vegas Strip. But I would like to go back someday to see the Hoover Dam, climb one of those mountains, and see old Vegas. That was one more thing to check off my list!
