Viva Las Vegas


Jackie and I recently had the opportunity to take a little nice vacation and head out to Las Vegas. I had a blast and it was probably one of the best trips I had to Vegas. We left Wednesday night March 10th and returned today Sunday March 14th. I think that was the perfect time to spend in Vegas after that I get pretty Vegased out!

We stayed out the Hooters Casino. NO not because of the girls (although they were a plus) but because we got a excellent deal on the room and we wanted to stay very close to the strip. MGM was only across the street and they have a new monorail station there that goes up the trip. Have to tell you the first day we walked up the strip and back and our feet were killing! So the monorail is a great addition.

We did a lot there. We went to all the usual places and casinos and we were able to visit a couple attractions. We went into the wax museum and took a lot of pictures in there. I have to tell you they look very real! Honestly in some rooms you couldn't tell who was real and who wasn't. We also saw Nathan Burton a comedic magician. He was your average magician however he did pull off a couple astonishing tricks.

But my favorite show now that we saw for the first time was Cirque Du Soleil. It was amazing. I think there are people who want to see it but don't because it is a expensive show. That's how I was for 5 years however we decided to finally do it and it was worth it! Amazing performers doing amazing stunts and acrobats. They had a vertical stage were arrows were shot at them and they climb with the arrows. They also had a fight scene on a vertical stage that made it appear you were watching them from above. IT IS WORTH IT go see it if you have been trying to make up your mind.

Other than that just walking around the shops and having a good time. It was a fun trip and I cant wait to see Cirque Du Soleil again!
