LAS VEGAS, there's nowhere like it in the whole entire world.
Daniel and I booked a weekend stay at The Mirage on The Strip.
What a gorgeous place, our room was super hip!
SLOT MACHINES EVERYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding dinggggg, you lose!
bad cycle.
We won four dollars and ten cents! bringin' home the big bucks! cha ching!! $$$$$
We left around 3:30 and four hours later we cruised into the city of lights! lights lights everywhere!
Friday night, Halloween- pretty much relaxed, walked around the Strip, took pictures, saw some really really crazy Halloween costumes, toured all the big name hotels, watched people throw away money, watched the water show at The Bellagio went to bed around 4AM?
Saturday- slept in! ( sigh, that was great)
we pretty just hung around the hotel, looking at shops and what not... oh yea, we made reservations at the Eiffel Tower Restaurant!
Later, we went to eat! We had a window table with an amazing view of The Bellagio Hotel and water show! I ordered the Swordfish and Daniel got the Rack of Lamb, exquisite food. and to top off the dinner we dove into a chocolate souffle! my taste buds and tum were very happy. After dinner we went over to Treasure Island to find the end of the line waiting impatiently to find seats for Cirque du Soliel! What a show!!! If you haven't heard of this show, google it. It's crazy! The stunts these people do, you can't believe your eyes!!!! The visual, auditory elements really create an out-of-this- world atmosphere that can't be described by using merely words. You have to experience it for yourself!!!
The show ended- we went upstairs to play a few slot machines just for kicks! haha, we weren't expecting any wins, but we at least walked away with $4.10, we didn't have before! haha. slot machines, I don't understand them, I don't understand how people can become addicted to them... are they really addicted to losing money? I mean, if you have a desire to gamble at least play against the human element, like poker or blackjack, not SLOTS! The bottom line is though, gambling is a scheme of selfish casino presidents and personnel- to take advantage of peoples weakness with the biggest temptation ever, money, getting cash fast! It breaks my heart really.
Hit the pillow around 3AM- wake up- check out- hit the road around 3 and waved good bye to the craziest city in the US.
check!
crossed out on our list of 'Must Dos!'
It was fun....
On to the next adventure.... :)

must-do's... i think i remember seeing your list, but i don't know where...
thought that was cool.. hope you don't mind if nate and i steal it?
the last "trip" nate and i took to vegas (not encluding the time we went for a funeral..) nate had issues :) he's from vegas and really cant stand it anymore. i guess living there and being a christian is a ton different from just visting! he griped about the traffic, all the people, all the smut on the streets. its hard to see your town change from the "family" factor is was 10-15 years ago to the "extreme sex" that it is today.
vegas has fun stuff though! we went to the aquarium at mandalay bay. really fun (we got in cheap cause nate used his vegas address :P ) he really enjoys cesar's palace. and his family too.
i'm glad you had a blast there! if i can ever get nate to go to the strip again, i want him to take me to cesar's. haven't been there yet. we usually just visit family when we go :)
hope this wasn't too weird a note. love ya, koren
