And so instead of boring you all with it all at once, the wonderful Vegas vacation will be in a few different posts. Here is number one. Enjoy
Friday night was a hard night to sleep. We had to get up at 2:30 in the morning to make it out the door for our flight. I was so freaked out that we would miss the flight. You know what that means just really laying there in an ok sleep tossing and turning. Of course, we didn't miss the flight. Thank goodness.
Airport moments: After you go thru security, our wonderful airport in Milwaukee has this sign:
Flippin' love this since I have a tendency to say that I am discombobulated. My world is complete I now have a place to go to get it back together. Then the funny moment in the airport when they come over the speaker saying if someone couldn't find their gum they should head back to security. Needless to say at that moment Hubbie couldn’t find his. If only I had the camera the oh is it me, what should I do face...priceless. All the way to Vegas we thought it was him who left his gum behind. Of course shortly after our arrival he found it.
Vegas day 1 : Took the cab to our hotel, New York New York. The hotel was huge. Thought we would end up getting lost in there to never, ever find our way out. At that point in time you are grateful to realize there are food places here, so at least we will not starve.
First problem was how to actually get to the strip
One dead end later and we made it!
After we finally get out (ha you think we are getting released from prison at this point), we decided number one priority should be
breakfast. After all it was 11:00
o’clock back home and we have not had any food.
Way to go Frontier, no snacks on the plane….rude. On day one we managed to venture in the
majority of the casinos and shopping malls on one side of the road. Also was
able to sneak in a nap in the afternoon and a little sun time by the pool.
Surprised to have knocked off one whole side of the strip within the first
day. Trying to get the concept down of
what to see in each casino was also interesting.
Ready to rock-n-roll here is our snapshot –
Day 1
Aria Ceasars Palace
Treasure Island - Darn pirates trying to blow up the girls' closets
Bellagio
Then Dinner at the Venetian Italian restaurant with gelato afterwards (love gelato dates with my hubbie). Already found my Pandora bead for our little Vegas excursion at the mall within the Venetian.
Took in some more sights on the way back to our little home away from home.
Watching the volcano at the Mirage
Sad to say we had no luck gambling today. We owned the strip today. As the hubbie would say..."Like a Boss"
