Karyn and I had a fabu time in fabulous Las Vegas, a weird and wonderful place where tourists can be the main attraction. We flew in on Monday, November 10th and left on Friday, November 14th.
We stayed at the New York New York Hotel and Casino, which had a roller coaster that we rode twice. We ate a few of our meals there, and they were all really good. We hit up the 2-for-1 buffet at the Excalibur on the first day - my first - and only - buffet in Vegas.
The strip at night is a sight to behold. We marveled at the re-creations of architecture and masterpieces from around the world. The fountains at the Bellagio were beautiful, and so was the hotel itself. We went to two Cirque du Soleil shows, "O" and "Beetles Love" and they were both totally awesome.
We got a bit of shopping in at Fashion Show Mall, and we lounged by the pool in at the hot tubs at our hotel.
And then there was the day we went to the Grand Canyon. We rented a PT cruiser that we thought was going to break down on us and put on 1000 km in 10 hours to the Grand Canyon and back. But it was worth it - who knows when we'll make it back?
Our last day was one of the best because it was the hottest. They actually opened the pool and checked out and sunbathed the afternoon away. One final dinner and we were on our way to the airport.
