Welcome to Las Vegas


Back in january, Tim sparks and I decided to make some time to go out to fabulous Las Vegas.   Some people go out for the gambling....Me, I went there for three things to go see the Grand Canyon, to see some shows and to see what the big deal is about this city since I have never been here before.
First, let's just say before you even land you notice the strip right away.  You see how big the hotels are and all you can say is wow.  I took the rental car and headed straight for the hotel. Stayed at the Excalibur (the pic above was our room view at night)

the canyon is this wide

Saw Carlos Santana...great show


Other things I saw was the tournament of kings dinner show...kind of like medivel times only without Jim Carrey and Mathew broderick (cable guy reference)
The weather was great out there, but don't stay in Vegas too long otherwise it will drive you nuts. Break it up by going to the grand canyon or somewhere outside of the city...you'll enjoy your stay a little better.  Overall, had great time and if you want to know more...you can respond to this post. After all what happens in Vegas...stays in Vegas.
