Welcome to the Fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada!

We left for Vegas last Thursday out of the enormous Grand Island airport. We luckily had no problems traveling except for all of the stupid people, but I will have a lovely post about this special topic later. We stayed at the Mirage which was great, the most comfy beds in any hotel I have ever stayed at, but with the smallest bathroom I have ever seen at a hotel. On Thursday afternoon after checking in we decided to venture down the Strip, not a good idea when you are 7 months pregnant and you forgot to put your tennis shoes on for comfort. We started our journey at the Forum Shops at Caesar's Palace and if you have ever been here you know that we did not buy a thing because the only retailers here are ones you see on the runway and no one in their right mind can afford or even fit into the clothing offered. We did however decide to have some gelato and sorbet, this lovely vendor did not have the prices posted in what I would consider the usual spot, so we ended up paying almost $30 for two small cups. This was not our only ridiculous purchase.
On Friday (Halloween) we pretty much played it low key, we took the city bus downtown for some small time gambling, I played $20 on penny slots and cashed out $100, lucky me. That night we went to the first round of the PBR finals (bull riding), that was pretty exciting.
Saturday we went to Madam Tussuad's Wax Museum (not sure on the spelling), that was another waste of money and then we just hung out for the rest of the day.
Sunday we returned home to our little Brenna who we missed terribly. Sorry no pictures of Vegas, we left the camera at home and of course what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.
