Vegas: Part 2

  We left from home on Feb. 4, 2012.  In the blog post earlier, I shared about our first 2 days in Vegas.  Here is what we did on day 3 in Vegas (February 7th), we went to Sigfried & Roy's Dolphin Paradise at the Mirage Hotel.  It was so cool!  I think one of the best things about the attractions is getting to visit the various hotels/casinos.  We are fans of CSI and love going and seeing places that we seen on TV.

   I did not use zoom on my camera.  This is actually how close we got to sit and see the dolphins.  They allowed us to sit on the wall and if I stretched out my hand, I could touch them.  The boys loved this.  Especially Brandon because he wants to be a Marine Biologist.

The Luxor.
    This is the Luxor hotel/casino.  I love how it looks like a giant pyramid.  When we went by it on the monorail, it looked HUGE.

    One of the restaurants in Circus Circus is called "Rock & Rita's".  They have the neatest pictures hanging up but I think the one above cracked us up the most.

   Here is another view of what we saw while riding the Monorail.  This was our first time on anything like this.  We were excited!


    The next day (February 8th) was my day to be on the "Price is Right Live" at Bally's hotel/casino.  I had a great booth and it was LOTS of fun.  I had no idea that Joey from NSYNC was the host.  He was funny.

      That evening the boys and I went to Adventure Dome (again) inside Circus Circus.  It is an amusement park with an indoor roller coaster and a ton of other rides.  Ronny's favorite ride is the 4D theater.  It is FUN!   Another thing we did EVERY DAY was go to the Circus Circus area and watch the circus performers and play the carnival type games.
