Vegas

All in all, we had a wonderful couple of weeks. The kids were so well behaved and at the right age to really enjoy everything! We certainly have some great memories.

Tigers in the MGM Grand's Casino....

We took a trip out to the 'old Vegas Strip' one day to have a look around. This was the Golden Nugget hotel which has a slide going through a fish tank! Not sure I would be so keen on trying that slide out! Kids were though.

The Venetian was another amazing hotel! A canal in the middle of a hotel!

What better way to drink a beer than out of a cowboy boot!

Gilly's was one of our favorite places to eat....or rather Davey's favorite places to eat! A country and western bar and restaurant, right up David's alley.

We managed to get a quick (super quick) shot of Chey sitting on this bar stool which was a saddle! One for daddy who also, is a cowboy at heart!

Planet Holywood had this fantastic rain fall in the middle of the walkway. On the hour and every half hour, this pond filled up with water and it sounded like a rain storm was taking place.

Located in the MGM Grand was a restaurant called "The Rain Forest Cafe" where we dinned for breakfast one morning. This cafe was amazing, with real water falls around the bar and wild animals everywhere complete with real animal noises and nature calls. The ceiling even changed from day to night with the animals becoming louder at night time. Fantastic!

We loved walking the strip and visiting all the hotels. Amazing creativity!

Another hightlight...M&M store, all 4 levels of M&M's.....Mmmmmmm

We stayed at the MGM Grand Signature Hotel, but the best pool to swim in, was the MGM Grands. So whenever we got a chance, we walked over to the MGM for a swim in their rapid pool. The kids loved it and so did the adults. You could hire these tubes for $20 a day, but we did what the poor people do and wait until someone leaves the pool and offers theirs to us! Worked everytime and saved us a fortune!

On the way home, Davey and I got front seats - view was amazing

The highlight of Vegas was definitely flying over the Grand Canyon. We decided to leave the kids with a babysitter as they were not really interested and for the money, it wasn't worth taking them. Was a nice break for us adults.

The kids thought they were royality and demanded everytime we left the hotel that we get a limo!

Vegas was all we imagined it to be and more! We drove from LA to Vegas in style; with 4 adults, 7 kids and more luggage than you could poke a stick at, it was cheaper to hire a limo than it would have been to fly and pay for each piece of luggage as we were informed we would have to do.
