Am back!
And I have skimmed the flist. Tada! I have pics but they are not that great so I am not sure I will post them. I was not that good a photographer in Vegas. So I don't know. Anyhoo. Here is the recap:
Friday - Arrival
Saturday - went to the Vegas sign, Bellagio, and the Venetian (for a gondola ride, recommend the outdoor one)
Sunday - went to Easter Brunch at the Springs Preserve, to the Hoover Dam and Boulder City, train ride around Boulder City
Monday - went back to the Vegas Strip and hit - New York, New York, Paris, Bellagio and Caesar's Palace
Very fun trip. I went with my friend J**** and stayed with my other friend R*** in Henderson which was the perfect distance from everything. I really enjoyed the desert climate this time of year. It was low 80's or high 70's most of the time and sunny with some cloud cover at times. It did not feel that hot but it was warm enough to hang out by the pool and chill. Vegas is a totally decadent town and I get the hedonism. I see how it has its limits. I cannot take the noise and multimedia beat for too long before I feel overwhelmed. What we did was perfect as we spent time on the strip and then time outside. I think there is such thing as going to Vegas for too long and I liked how long I was there. Got the flavor and did not stay too long. Money goes fast there but I did not overspend. We did lots of cheap and free things. I gambled a little - played two hands of black jack and one slot game at Caesar's. Really, that is about all for me. I consider gambling a total waste of money and have seen people get in trouble with it so I don't really do that. I had a fun dealer and would have played more had I won my hands but I lost and that was it - my 20.00 contribution to the sin fund. LOL.
Anyways, that is about all I have on the trip. It was great to spend time with the gal pals. We all got along great and wanted to do the same things.
Cheers to you all and Happy Belated Easter.
