Vegas Vacation

You may be conjuring up your favorite lines or scenes from Lampoon's Vegas Vacation, but let me assure you that Kevin and I were on our best vacation behavior. Although I'm sure there is a lot of trouble to be found in Vegas, I think this busy. bright. blazing. buffet laden at 3am city gets a bad rap. There are lots of things you can do that don't require gambling.  Its like anything else....you'll find whatever it is you're looking for. We saw Cirque du Soleil's Mystere show and Phantom of the Opera. We ate several awesome meals (no buffets for the Knights!) and generally had a great time people-watching. We also made the trek to the Grand Canyon. Check it out.....


 Walking back to Caesar's Palace....

 Walking toward The Venetian to see Phantom

The Bellagio...our hotel of choice. We walked through all the others and highly suggest this one.

 Eagle Rock on the Western Rim of the Grand Canyon

 Its deep. And Kevin was too close to the edge. I was very worried that he would fall off the edge. No danger of me falling off. I don't like heights. 

 Pictures really don't do it justice. Its breathtaking.

 Guano Point offers a 360 degree view of the canyon. Worth the climb.

No, I did NOT like the fact that he was so close to the edge. 

The Hoover Dam is up next on our itinerary....
