We had the best time in Vegas! Kevin and I, Pam and Chris, Tammy and Ted all left on Thursday morning. As we arrived in Vegas we discovered that a limo was just a little bit more than the shuttle so we hopped in the limo. The driver took us on a tour of the strip and told stories from his 50 years in Vegas. How fun. We stayed at the Excalibur hotel.

We walked around a lot looking at everything, including the M&M Factory. Saw Elvis (shocker!) and Michael Jackson. A few of us toured the Titanic Museum which was great. We all went to the shark aquarium which was really fun. We ate dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe. We walked all over at night which was an experience. We saw so many things we never should have seen.....however, we also watched a water fountain show which was spectacular! The walk back to the hotel was so tiring!!!

The next day, we went to the Wax Museum and took so many fun pictures. Tammy and I karoakied (spelling??) and were judged by Simon Cowell and yes, we got our golden ticket to Hollywood! We also decided to use the bus pass. Fabulous!!!!!! We went to "Slots of Fun" which is a cheaper casino and we all played blackjack on a table for about 4 hours!!! It was sooooooo fun. We were loud and had a couple of great, fun dealers. We ate at the hotel buffet today which was really good but we were exhausted. Walked around some more, saw a statue guy who was so cool......and dragged ourselves back to bed.

Sat, we went to the old strip - Fremont Street. Again, thankful for the bus pass. This is the part I remembered from going to CA with my dad when we were very young. The Golden Nugget, etc. It's now covered and they do a light show at night which we missed because a few of us were too tired. Kevin taught us how to play Roulette....it was so easy and so much fun with a good dealer. We did really well there. Kevin put down $5 and walked away with $30. He gave me a few of those dollars and I walked away with $20. We are big time gamblers I'll tell you. It was just so fun to play for so long with so little money. We took a taxi back to the airport and flew home. It was a great trip and I can't wait to go again.
