Welcome to La$ Vega$!

Welcome to Las Vegas, Nevada! A well deserved week vacation after some 70+ hour weeks at work! Vegas, a city like no other! Here is a shot of the west side of "The Strip" on Las Vegas Blvd. Every single night is packed with people hoping to "get lucky!" :) My family and I saw Lance Burton's magic show and outdoor show at Treasure Island! Great experience, I recommend you all travel here at least once.

We actually stayed off the strip, which rocked since we could have this gorgeous view each and every morning! I have confirmed with 3 sources that these are indeed mountains! hehe

Here we are at the Venetian Casino! Beautiful building that made you feel like you were in Venice, Italy! Here we partook of a pandola ride which is the main form of transportation in that water-torn city! Each "guide" sang songs for us as they whisked us around the casino! It was funny cause he asked what Italian songs we'd like him to sing for us and I mentioned "Dominik the Italian donkey!" hehe we were laughing the entire way as a crowd came to listen to this piece of work!

Who's that hottie! Oh it's me! hehe well, here I am at Hoover Dam! This plague was awesome since it splits Nevada and Arizona by it's time zone! So my left foot is Nevada in the Pacific time zone, an hour behind my right foot, which is in Arizona and in the Mountain time zone! (That's the Colorado River behind me)

The Hoover Dam is huge! Here is a view of the opposite side! Beautiful side again - let's wave goodbye to the Colorado river!

Ok might be the coolest restaruant on earth! We ate at the ESPN sportszone in Las Vegas! Here we're looking at about 15 TV screens with nothing but sports on 24/7! I love the pacific time zone since I was able to watch baseball games at 10am in the morning!!! (Instead of 1pm EST). Anyway this dinner was like no other since we had a 18 inch computer monitor at each table and coule point and click to any game on the main screen and get an enlarged, fully announced(speakers) look at that game! I'm about to faint! hehe

My dad was big on see historical sites so here I am at the Red Rock Mountain Range! I wasn't quite prepared to do some climbing with my sandals! But I succeeded!

My family and I in front of the Eiffel Tower. (Next to the dancing Bellagio dancing waterfalls!) :)
