The Time Of Painful Feet

Success! I have made it back from Vegas alive....barely. The last night was a little rough, but luckily Mike saved me with french fries. Let me explain. When a person drinks a lot of alcohol because their husband is temping them to do so, they get very sick and can only be saved by delicious alcohol-absorbing french fries. Mmmmmmmmm Thus, I live to tell the tale of Vegas.

It all started with walking. MILES AND MILES OF WALKING. You would think your feet would get used to the abuse after a few DAYS and after a very expensive foot massage that included a 20% 'because we can' charge. No way. I will now look back at my Vegas vacation as 'the time of painful feet'. But that didn't stop us from enjoying it.

We saw two very good shows, Zumanity and Phantom of the Opera. We also spent A LOT of money on other activities that would have been about $5 in Utah. Here are some pictures from those activities. Keep in mind that I am saving you about $300 by showing you these pictures.

Here is the Shark Reef Exhibit. No pictures of actual sharks. Sorry your time was wasted, but at least you didn't loose any money.












This is the Dolphin Sanctuary and Secret Garden. The only secret here is that you can see the ENTIRE Hogal Zoo in Utah for less money.







Here is the outside of the Titanic Exhibit at the Luxor. It might have been worth the money if you could have taken pictures inside. Might.



This is the one place that was actually worth our money - The Nine Fine Irishmen Pub in New York New York. The pictures aren't that great because it was always dark in there, but the live music was FREE to listen to and the food, although somewhat pricey, was worth every penny because it was AMAZING.





All in all we had a nice break from reality where we could do whatever we wanted and spend money willy nilly without worrying about responsibilities or bills. But I must say it was nice to return home where everything doesn't smell like smoke and their isn't always the sound of slot machines and elevator music in the background. And Bear. Bear is the best part.

Here are a few more pictures just to prove we were there and to say "Neener neener, we were in Vegas and you weren't."
