Sisters on the strip

So, before my sister leaves Las Vegas (long story) I decided yesterday would be a good day to take her downtown to see the Bellagio fountains. Its a must see for anyone before leaving Las Vegas. It was an epic FAIL. The fountains were not on- looked like they were being cleaned. But we had a good time anyway walking around. I shot a couple hundred pictures and edited 88 of them. They all turned out AMAZING. I must say my photography skills are highly improving. :) So, yes, Im going to OVERLOAD you here, with pictures. Get over it. And then enjoy.
                                             (cell phone picture here, not great)


                                      Bellagio entrance from the parking garage.

Worlds Largest Chocolate Fountain, inside The Bellagio.

(cell phone picture here, not great)

                                                       
                                                  Water Sphere inside The Bellagio Conservatory

                                           I am loving these dwarf sunflowers inside the Bellagio's conservatory.
         
                                                    About the water sphere

                                                   My little sister

                                    My shy munchkin and myself in Bellagio's conservatory

Kayla pointing out the lady bugs look like her pillow pet. 

                                     About the lady bugs- made from 400 fresh carnations- replaced daily.


                                                               I love this flower cart!

                                      Again, the sunflower dwarfs.

                                                 The Bellagio's view of the Eiffel tower.

                                                 Paris Hotel and Casino- view from The Bellagio

                                                      My sister

                                       My sister

                                                  Myself and my munchkins

                                               Being silly.

                                        The Bellagio
                                   
                                   Paris Hotel and Casino, where Gordon Ramsay's STEAK is.

                                            Fountains a no go today. Very disappointing.



                                      Mama and Caden with Elvis, in which Caden was not a fan, but Mama was. Elvis works for tips only, but when he found out we were a military family, he thanked us for serving him and the country and let us go without paying him a tip!


The Eiffel tower, Paris Hotel and Casino- I love the sun flare and flags on these pictures!
LOVE them.
Love.




                                           Inside Paris Hotel and Casino.

Here is Gordon Ramsay's STEAK restaurant, my sister and I considered for a minute to go eat there, until I saw an appetizer or bowl of soup was an easy $17 alone. And a meal was $56 easy per person.
And thinking about taking my booger head Caden in there....very very scary. Not a good idea when one is building and trying to furnish a very big expensive house. 

  Thinking Holly Madison's PEEPSHOW at Planet Hollywood Hotel and Casino could be a future date night?!
                                  Wall full of famous people's hands. Charlie Sheen, Sandra Bullock, Shaq, Bruce Willis, Sylvester Stallone, Jay Leno, George Clooney and some others...Plant Hollywood Hotel and Casino.


                                   The trashy side of Las Vegas...



                                 
                                                   Its not everyday you see some dudes swimming in the Bellagio Fountains with a view like that. Unless they are drunk and into the motto what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas and they are trying to get arrested and kicked out. ha.

(So I didnt make you suffer through all 88  pictures, lucky you)

Pretty amazing that only 9 miles from the Las Vegas strip, we call HOME.
Again, how in the world have I become so lucky and blessed?
Hard work pays off. The harder you work the better it pays.


Stay tuned for tomorrow's blog post about Kayla's very first ballet class!
