More Vegas pictures --





Here are a few more pictures from Las Vegas. The first is the huge golden lion from the MGM Hotel. The next is of M&M World, which was packed with people. After that is the Statue of Liberty from the New York, New York Hotel. And finally, there's a picture of Elvis in a gold lame suit riding in a double-decker bus. You never know what you'll see in Las Vegas. We went into a bunch of the old themed hotels yesterday like Excaliber and Luxor. They've totally removed the theme from inside, so it's hard to even know what hotel you're in anymore. It's too bad because some of these hotels used to be really cool. I remember when the Luxor first opened and everything was an Egyptian theme. There was even a boat ride down the Nile River. Now you can't even look up and see the pyramid from the inside because they have it all blocked off. It's too bad. Last night we went up the Effiel Tower at the Paris Hotel. We'd never done that, so that was cool. We were up there just in time to watch the Bellagio fountains go off. Anyway, internet connection here stinks and I keep getting bumped off, so I better try to post this. We're headed out to see Caesar's Palace and the Bellagio now. Talk to you soon. Hugs to Nichelle, Nicole, Nathan & Neil.

  1. Oh I loved the M&M store. So many options-so much chocolate.

    My husband and I are going in June but we will be staying at Lake Las Vegas. Off the strip, but will take a tour bus into the strip to enjoy the sights.

    Have fun.

  3. The Elvis on the double-decker is classic.

    Try the Bellagio Buffet. You won't regret it! It's become our new, go-to buffet. The Rio Carnival buffet was once our go-to (still is, for brekkie, anyway), but now we're total converts to the Bellagio one.

    And try the Vosges Chocolat shop in The Forum Shops at Caesar's, if you can. It's located near the front entrance (the one on the strip). They give out free samples. I lurve their Mo's Bacon Bar.

    Glad to hear you two are still having a great time. Stay safe!

  7. Oh! I love the Paris hotel... I enjoyed just walking around through the casino. I thought the french cafe and theme was cool.

    Glad you are having fun (and that Rick keeps winning on the slots!)
