We cleaned up and left pretty early. It’s super windy here today. We took our Death Valley picture on the way out. We drove in late and had a bit of a family meltdown…
Back in Nevada…Off to Vegas we go…
How to share about Vegas…it was only 2 days ago, but already hard to remember exactly what we did…good thing I have pictures to look at. We did the customary drive up and down the strip when we arrived so we could get a better lay of the land.
We decided to stay at Caesars Palace…well because we do have some major fans of Percy Jackson living among us 🙂 Of course parking for the RV is not quite available everywhere so we had to park at the Rio less than a mile from the strip.
Vera was not happy about us telling her we were not only going to Vegas but we were going to stay a night there as well. She hates smokers and gamblers so she was determined to not like it. Also, after driving down the strip she was bummed that Isabella and Edwin picked Caesars to stay at. “Out of all the hotels, that one looks the most boring…” after we drove down the strip.
I think one of one of the best parts was when we first walked into the hotel. And looked up. And I think this was especially good because the girls were cranky about having to walk to Caesars palace instead of being dropped off. It also had us enter the side entrance right at the Fountain of the Gods.
Isabella of course enjoyed pointing every Greek reference around.
We had a great room (actually we decided to splurge on 2 rooms, I think this is the 1st time we’ve done that with the kids) with a great view of the Eiffel Tower and the Bellagio fountains, nicely done Edwin.
Our plan was to stay in Vegas one night and see a show. So many shows to pick from…everyone was fine with anything and after reading different reviews we decided not to see a cirque de Soleil since they come to the SF and we picked Blue Man Group. They were across the board the “best family show”….
We had tickets for 7 at the Luxor almost 2 miles from Caesars. Edwin wanted to gamble a bit and the girls and I were hungry so decided to go check out the buffet while Edwin went downstairs for a bit. The highlight of the buffet always seems to be the dessert table and the girls had fun playing judges on cupcake wars.
Then we met back up with Edwin and walked the strip down to the Luxor.
How is it Vera can walk miles in the woods, but here at mile 1 her feet start hurting?? Maybe it’s the awesome full support converse shoe choice?
Blue Man Group 💙 Fun. Entertaining. Girls enjoyed most of it. Although somehow didn’t live up to all the reviews as a must-see show that’s only in Vegas. They do have you dress yourself in some flair.
The walk back down the strip was more fun than the walk up because we had time to spare and explore.
Gotta get the pennies…
Another pretty Chinese New Year dragon
We liked the crystals in the Cosmopolitan.
Vera even inched out piggy back ride from Isabella for part of the way back
Did I mention we have an awesome hotel room with amazing views of the Bellagio fountains?? So we watched that for a bit while we got the girls to bed and Edwin and I went downstairs for a bit.
