Ouch....my feet hurt!



The last two days of our Las Vegas vacation have been really full! Mostly of walking and riding trams and monorails from casino to casino to give the boys a little taste of everything in this town. We started at the new Wyn hotel. You have to pay $500 for 18 holes of golf at this resort. So we got a peak at that and the grass didn't look any greener than where we play! But the Hotel was beautiful with lots of waterfalls and flowers. This is a picture of the boys in the Lobby. The mosaic tile floor would make a really pretty quilt!!!

Then we walked over to The Venetian and had a little geography lesson. The Gondolas were fascinating but too long a line to wait so we walked the plaza and watched the living statues. This guy pictured here was really good! Amazing how we can be entertained watching people stand still!







We tried to see the Pirate show at Treasure Island but the weather didn't cooperate so we came back to MGM and pigged out on a buffet. We ended the day at Mirage watching the Man of a Million Voices, Danny Ganz. I'm telling you, you've got to see this show! It is my 3rd time and each time I'm amazed. The boys loved the show and recognized almost all of the people he was impersonating.

Yesterday I got to start the day with a trip to the spa. I had a sugar rub (never tried that before), a massage and a facial. The boys enjoyed the pool with dad. It stayed sunny for the first half of the day then it was perfectly overcast for the last part.

We got out on our sore feet again and ventured over to New York New York. The boys were going to ride the rollercoaster that goes all around the top of the casino but the chickened out.



Our next stop was Mandalay Bay. This is one of my favorite hotels and casinos. It smells like coconuts and pineapples! And this hotel has The Shark Reef!!! This is an amazing aquarium that features lots of sharks and other unusual fish. You walk through about 45 minutes of audio tour, get to pet the sting rays and see sharks swimming over your head and under your feet. The boys LOVEd this! Dad played a little on the craps tables while we did Shark Reef and we met him later for another buffet.








Ok, a couple of miscellaneous pictures of us yesterday. The boys got a kick out of this artistic wall that you pass on the way to sharks at Mandalay Bay. It is covered in marble body parts. This body part just happens to be at eye level!!! Then the other two pictures are of Christian devouring Alaskan King Crab Legs at the buffet. He was in heaven and ate a ton of shrimp and crab!
