Las Vegas Strip

We went down the Vegas Strip yesterday. We saw the Luxor, N.Y, N.Y. ($15.oo to ride the roller coaster) and the MGM, with lions on display. We then went to M&M World, got to see a movie and 4 floors of stuff any were from $1.oo to $5,000.oo.

All along the strip there were people handing out cards to get girls sent to you in just minutes, as well as people dressed as pirates, living statues painted silver or gold that will only move for $$$ or doing magic.

For lunch we tried a Hollywood special PINK's Hot Dog's, famous for there great snap. They had tons of crazy toppings and combinations, we stayed with the theme and tried the Vegas Strip which was 2 hot dogs, mustard, chili, cheese, guacamole, but we left off the jalapenos. Messy but very good and only $7.50 shezzzzz.
The Bellagio was the best stop we saw, they have a large out door water show that is timed to music and runs every half hour and every 15 min after 8pm. Inside the lobby is about 300 large glass flowers that hang from the ceiling the size of a small kid. In the atrium they had a larger then life display of a garden with flowers and animals and us looking very small. Then it was off for a dessert snack, and what better place then Jean Philippe Patisserie which has the worlds largest chocolat fountain running through the Bellagio hotel. Hmmm $10.oo cup cakes, $6.50 mini lovelys which look way to good to eat, sorbet, or crepes. We got the $8.50 Exotic crepe which had mango, pineapple, passion fruit compote and a scoop of coconut sorbet. Yummy

For dinner we went a few blocks over to the Terrible's Casino, we had a coupon for a 2 for 1 $10.oo buffet, even got a free tee shirt. The food was good and had a Hawian, chinese style to it. Played a few dollars today at 2 of the casinos, but lady luck was not there...... Hmmm guess she needs to pass out cards along the street like the other ladys do.....lol

Time to leave and start our way to Glenwood Springs / Aspen, CO area.

Hoover Dam and Shrimp Cocktails

We arrived in Boulder City NV and stopped to see Hoover Dam. It was huge and totally amazing. We stopped at a hotel/casino called "The Hasienda" did alittle gambling, watched a movie about the Hoover Dam, and had $0.99 shrimp cocktails. The cocktails were wonderful and large considering the low price. We learned alot about the building of the Hoover Dam from the movie.

On our way into the Hoover Dam we had to stop at a security site, they went into the camper and looked around and also looked in our under hatches. Not sure what or maybe who they were looking for. They just told us they would know it when they saw it, guess whatever it was we did not have it. They let us into the dam.

We stopped for the night at a Flying J and today we are off to see the M&M World in Las Vegas. http://www.mmsworld.com/ We are having alot of fun in our travels, but still miss all the friends we left at home and the ones we have met along the way. (Especially the Cinnamon Man)
