Post Vegas

Well, I made it back from Vegas on Sunday night, but I've been lazy at updating my blog about the weekend. I got to Vegas on Saturday morning without a lot of traffic. I picked up Keith at the Circus, Circus Hotel and we went to find out how far the Rio Hotel was from our hotel. We saw Penn & Teller (Illusionists/Comedians) at the Rio. We thought about walking there, but decided it was to far too walk.

The show was very funny and their magic was awesome. They used audience participation throughout their show. A couple of times, I thought they were going to stop at us and ask us to help out. They did not. After the show, they both came outside the theater and greeted their audience.

That night we did some gambling and walking around.

Earlier that day we also walked to the Stratosphere to get a view of the Las Vegas area. The tower is 1, 149 feet in the air. You get great views of the area, and in this picture you can see the Vegas strip.

The next day we did a lot of walking. We went from one end of the strip to the other, which is about 4 miles. With temperatures over 100, it seemed liked a lot further.

At the Mirage Hotel, we saw the theater and gift shop for the Beatles/Cirque du Soleil "Love" show.

Here I am in front a cool multi-changing colored wall with the Beatles behind me. When I go back to Vegas, I definitely want to see this show.


This is a picture of the pyramid of the Luxor hotel. It was very cool inside with huge statues and ornate decorations... and of course, a casino.

I left Sunday night and experienced some traffic, but it only added an hour to my drive.

Now I am ready to go back for a couple more days. I will plan that for a cooler month than July!
