Welcome to Sin City...

After three days in Las Vegas, I discovered why Sin City is an appropriate nickname for this glitzy spot in the desert. If you are not really into blowing money, drinking, expensive shopping or women who left most of their clothing at home, then Las Vegas is not the place for you. I'm pretty sure my mouth hit the floor several times at some of the clothing the girls were wearing (or lack thereof). Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed the relaxing mornings to myself. We enjoyed spending time together just the two of us. We loved our massage and most of the entertainment during our stay. All that being said, I'm pretty sure the words "Let's go to Vegas" will never come out of my mouth. If he had another business trip to Vegas I would want to go with him just to spend time together but I would want to do that no matter where he went. As for Vegas...I came...I saw...I left...once is enough for me.

the Venetian Resort...

The view from our suite...
Daddy (sporting the deer in the headlights look) and his business partner at the Trade Show showing off their best statue pose. Both were hoping to take home the Harley Davidson motorcycle but no such luck.

Our entertainment:
-Jay Leno...
No photos allowed during his performance but he was really funny.
-Blue Man Group...
I was a little freaked out during the performance. It was weird but enjoyable. They were just freaking me out with their eyes. Every time they would come out into the audience I would just cringe when they got close. It takes a lot of talent to play a PVC pipe with drum sticks and still sound awesome.

-Chris Gardner...
the Pursuit of Happyness starring Will Smith was based upon his life. One of the highlights of our trip was hearing him speak.
-Spamalot...
We were supposed to see Phantom of the Opera but the performance was canceled. This was not Phantom but it was good.
-KC and the Sunshine Band...
ummm...interesting. A 57 year old man singing passionately to women my age, sweating profusely and "taking us back to 1976". We weren't born in 1976. We bailed on him and headed for a gondola ride...
complete with singing gondolier...

Inside St. Mark's Square. Yes, this is INSIDE. The clouds moved across the "sky" like you are actually outside but it was daylight all day long. It was amazing! The statue was actually a real person.

Outside the Venetian Resort Hotel...Caesar's Palace...
All dressed up for the Gala...
Daddy's business partner (and friend) D and his lovely wife MWe loved the hotel and all of the entertainment. We enjoyed the time together and the company of good friends. So long Las Vegas...it's been an interesting experience. :-)
