Photo's and a Video from Las Vegas

Kristi had a little business trip to Vegas this week, and since we had just heard about my promotion it turned into a little celebration.

After getting a VERY early start Thursday and Kristi finishing her business stuff by about noon, we had the rest of the day to have fun.

The view from our room at the Sahara

After meeting Kristi's work people for dinner we were off to the strip.

We are SO seeing this on our next trip.

After hanging out in the lounge for awhile, it was back to our hotel for some gaming and then to bed. It had been a LONG day.

The next morning we headed to Kristi's favorite hotel, The Bellagio to see the flowers

Paris Las Vegas

Looks like the new Planet Hollywood is almost done

So after 2 days in Vegas, we were ready to come home. A quick stop at Buffalo Bills and then a LONG drive home.

We had a fun time, I'm ready to go back already.

Great report! Thanks.

thanks for the pics. I LOVE the lady bug.

And the Bellagio is beautiful!!! We have it's little sister here on the coast...The Beau Rivage.

Thanks for sharing your pics!

And yeah, that coffee table is...wow. :blink:

thaks for the pics and video....I want to go now...:)

Great pics that made me super jealous of me not being in Vegas:(

Thanks for the shot of Planet Hollywood...I was hoping they'd at least change the facade a bit for it not to resemble the Alladin :(

wow!!! that Bellagio is fabulous!! thank you so much for sharing !

I think we will be on our way to Vegas as soon as school ends. I've never been in the Bellagio but I must go next time. Great flowers!

Thanks for all the pictures! It feels as if I am with you on the trip. I wanted to go this weekend but the hotel rates were outrageous because the NAB convention is in town.

^ Which is why we were staying at Sahara. :D

It was an okay room, but I don't think I'd stay there again.

And unfortunately the coaster was closed since it valleyed the other day. :(

I heard about that on the news last week or so. The newscasters made it sound as if a vallied coaster is a horrible thing and many people get injured from it. I thought it was funny because when I was training at Space they told us that Space has vallyed twice since it was open but it isna't that big of a deal to fix. I still want to go on Speed this summer.

Great Pics Clinks!!!! The Saraha is not alot to write home about but they have GREAT room service.

Speed is a great ride. Best coaster in Vegas. And yeah, a coaster valleying is just something that happens. Apparently the 2nd set of LIM's mis-fired.

I do have to agree about the Sahara room service. We got a Roast Beef Sandwich with fries and a HUGE order of Onion Rings and it was only $20. Not bad for room service.

Wow!! What beautiful pictures! As much as I dislike Vegas in general, it makes me want to go to see some of that stuff! That Revolution Lounge looks amazing!!! What fun, entertainment by a table! :lol:

But if my hubby ever posted a pic of me napping... I'd have to hurt him. ;)

Looks like you guys had a great time! After hearing about JJ and SS's trip and seeing your pics (and video of that totally awesome table!!!!) I soooo wanna go to Vegas! Thanks for sharing.
