Gambling the Night Away with What? Is!
... to see the Bette Midler show and didn't come prepared. She came with $80 and that's all gone. She's completely broke. Trips to Vegas for her are a regular occurrence. As we are walking around Maira sees a machine that caught her eye. I say that's a good ...
Still trying to find our fortune...

Derek's Bachelor Party in Vegas
So Vegas is Vegas. I don't even know what to say about it anymore. We stayed at MGM, got hammered at Wet Republic one afternoon, went out to dinners that cost more than my rent for the year, and had our fantasy football draft. Derek seemed to enjoy it, ...
Bright lights of Vegas
... looking at the sirens!!! That night was to be a break-even sort of night on the gambling front, as was every other night. Vegas is a bit of a strange place, people go to bed when your getting up, others have dinner as you have breakfast and everyone ...
Bryce Canyon, Zion National Park and Las Vegas
... . As we had feared, we had become National Parked out. We were intending to visit Yosemite on the way home but after spending 3 days in Las Vegas we couldn't face an 8 hour drive then setting up camp, so we drove for 9 1/2 hours all the way back to Rob ...
Lucky 777's in Sin City!
... ; I remembered from my drive to Grand Canyon West yesterday that there were a few gas stations as soon as I turned on Highway 93 to Las Vegas. I get there and pass the first two, then figure the 3rd one should allow me enough room to get to the air ...
Las Vegas Baby!!!
... all in. There is a water show at the Bellagio Casino where hundreds of fountains spring to life perfectly choreographed to music. Las Vegas is obviously a fairly strange place and attracts its fair share of strange people as well. It also seems to empty ...
On the way to Vegas in a Mustang Convertible...
... 4pm. The dam crosses the state line between Nevada and Arizona, and it's a pretty impressive dam. After the Hoover Dam we drove to Las Vegas and dropped the hire car off. Then caught a taxi to our hotel, the Luxor. It was really cheap during the week. ...
Welcome to Vegas
... to a bike path. We were nervous about taking it, but three separate sources assured us it was tarmacked and was in fact Las Vegas Boulevard, which followed the highway straight to the city. A puncture just as we were leaving (Mikey this time) delayed us ...

Time to hit the road! A few lessons learned. No money! No car! No girl! Homeward bound! Think it ! Feel It! Live ...
Viva Las Vegas
... some sort of casino but we weren't interested in these little attractions we were heading for the bright lights of Vegas. Las Vegas conjures up images of bright neon lights, Elvis impersonators, wedding chapels, feather clad show girls and slot ...
Chips and Choppers
... worth it and a very enjoyable way to spend an evening, even Paul enjoyed it and it was a musical with dancing !!! Well before we left Las Vegas we had to do some serious gambling so we wnt on the 25c slots and ended up $1 in credit !!! We hadn't a ...
Straight to Vegas Baby!
... TV. Shame the view was facing away from the strip but you can't have everything. Still we got to see the immense size of Las Vegas. Currently the fastest growing town in America and you can certainly tell as the lights stretch as far as the eye can ...
My first visit to Vegas
... pick Chris up... Vegas, btw, is a four hour drive from Kanab, UT, so it's not something you really want to round trip in one day if you can help it... especially since it's all downhill one way... Things we LOVE Las Vegas Things we HATE Las ...
Las Vegas
... do so we got the Greyhound (which is an experience in itself) for a three night stay. Due to the fact Americans pack out Las Vegas at the weekends, hotels are forced to slash prices mid-week. So, we stayed in the Stratosphere and the Luxor for very ...
Celebrating in Vegas
... into the VIP section tell you differently. So why does a blog about my mom's birthday talk about Derek so much? Because Vegas makes me thing of him at every turn, and I rarely get to write about it. And he orchestrated the whole thing, ...
You're so money baby...
... (we checked in at 5.00). We then stopped over in LA airport for six hours before we could get a flight to Vegas at 7am from LA, to arrive finally in Vegas at 9am. We spent many an hour lurking around both Vancouver and LA airports ...
What Happens in Vegas....
... strapped around their necks convinced us that we were best off tonight in our room watching a nice film (am I sounding old enough yet?). Vegas was great fun and well worth the visit. To cycle here is quite strange and it is certainly one of places ...
So very tired
... to dinner at Mix, which is a rooftop restaurant at the top of our hotel. Had outside dining and surveyed all that is Vegas while eating awsome food. Returned back to my fave Mandalay Place - Red Square, obviously Russian themed! We were all pretty tired ...
Spectacular lights and shows in Las Vegas
... a pool to a dry stage within seconds, is beyond me! It was a spectacular show and Nik really enjoyed it! Las Vegas is definitely an adult destination. After watching "The Hangover", I wondered how many stories were being created that ...
Returning to Las Vegas
... thorns from a plant indigenous to New Mexico which people have been warning us about for days. Once again, we were heading to Las Vegas, but apparently this one had no resemblance to ‘Sin City’ and is a quiet, pretty town in the mountains. ...
World Cup Final, Thrill Rides and Shows
... . Ceiling murals and even a canal system with gondolas inside the casino! Easily one of the most over-the-top casinos in Vegas. Walked around Caesar's Palace which was also extremely OTT and absolutely huge. It was like a small town and we got completely ...
A little bit poorer
... . We had to keep popping into casinos to take advantage of the air con. The Fremont St Experience is a light show about Vegas, that lasts about 20mins, and they have them regularly throughout the evening. After the show ended, we caught the bus back up ...
1944 Las Vegas
... for the pasta. I had spaghetti with salmon in pink sauce. While waiting for the meal, we experienced some typical seedy horrible Vegas behaviors that should never be repeated. There was a living statue right across from us at the "sidewalk cafe". I had ...
Vegas Baby!
... Meg managed to finish even though there was only room to "try" a little bit. Thanks for the experience Dad and Patti. Vegas is certainly Fabulous. Inhibitions are left at the city limits. You can see and do just about anything as long as you ...
1943 Las Vegas
... eat lunch up top at the Stratosphere in order to ride the crazy elevator. And we had no appetite for either. So we passed by the ghetto North strip with its sketchy IHOPs and Fun City motel and "Largest Souvenir Shop in Las Vegas" back to the ...
