Las Vegas

So, one last update on a test. I got a 96% on my foundations of OT test!
Howard and I went to Las Vegas this past weekend and had an awesome time. There were a few mishaps. We went on a battery search party for my camera, and then we missed our connecting flight in Denver so we had to stay in a hotel on Sunday night. I also have a little head cold which is never enjoyable.
We did have a great time despite these few flaws. On Friday we just walked around our hotel, The Stratosphere. They had an amazing observation deck of the entire strip. Our hotel was on the north end of the strip. The south end is where all the famous casinos are located.
On Saturday I made a list of all the free and cheap stuff to do and see. So after Howard's meeting we walked the strip. I don't think my feet have ever been so tired. We didn't walk the whole thing but a lot of it. We rode a roller coaster inside the Circus Circus Adventuredome, which was fun! Then a little after that we caught the strip bus that took us down to the start of the south side. We stopped at the fashion show mall, this mall had all the expensive brands like Dolce and Gabana, Saks Fifth etc.. We took a picture in front of the Wynn hotel, walked inside the Palazzo Casino. This is where we got some new batteries. Howard said that was the 'real deal' Las Vegas casino. It had a million machines and tables with chandeliers etc... Then we went into the Venetian where we saw 'moving' statues! We saw the Treasure Island pirate show, the Mirage volcano, the Bellagio dancing fountains, the Paris hotel with the Eiffel Tower. Then we were so hungry we stopped and ate at Panda Express under the Flamingo hotel. I know fancy but we were famished. We walked a little more after we ate and then got on the bus back to the hotel where he had free tickets to an impersonating show. The show was pretty good, there was Elvis, Rod Stewart, Christina Aguleria, Tim Mcgraw and Micheal Jackson. We were going to go downtown but were so tired we went upstairs and went to bed.
On Sunday we woke up and took a tour of the Hoover Dam! This was very fun and interesting. Until you see it in person you have no idea how huge it is. We got to see inside and then went on the observation deck. They are building an overpass over the Colorado river and let me just tell you no one could pay me enough to be that high in the air. After the dam tour, the driver was able to drop us off at the MGM. The night before we weren't able to go that far. We saw the Lion habitat that is inside the casino. The MGM was a really awesome casino. We saw the New York New York hotel, which is humongous. Walked around some more and then caught the bus back to the hotel. We had a little bit more time so I played $20 of Howard's money :) in Blackjack and won $35!! I almost lost it but then I got on a good streak of 21. Now I can say I won money in Vegas.
