Layover in Las Vegas

With our mix and matching of airline tickets we got this year for Christmas, 

it left us with a day in Las Vegas with nothing to do!

So we filled it up with fun-

 (don't worry- you thought we were going to be boring dintcha?)

We stayed at Circus Circus- ghetto we know. 

But it was soooo cheap!

We paid one price to eat at a buffet... all day...

any time we wanted and as much as we wanted.

Jon was in heaven and was always scheming as to how he could fit more inside of him.

 That morning we woke up to it snowing in Vegas!

We thought the world had ended...

So we stayed inside and played at the AdventureDome atop Circus Circus.

Once again- Jon was in heaven.

I'm more of a chicken and it took a lot of coaxing to get me on the roller coaster.

However, I had a great time as well.

Until we went on the spinning 360 type of ride...

I nearly lost it.

After that- this is what the scene looked like.

Jon riding crazy spinning things by himself (but still oh so happy!)

This was more my speed- Spongebob in 4D...

and mini-golf with pirates :)

That night we ventured out onto the Vegas Strip...

Stopped off at many free things on the way-

fountains at Ceasars Palace, skanky pirate hooker show at Treasure Island, exploding valcanoe at the Mirage...

But this one was the BEST by far!

The fountains at the Bellagio.

 After our feet had had enough of walking-

we turned around and headed back towards our hotel.

BUT we didn't make it far!

Some people on the street stopped us and gave us their tickets to a show!

 We looked up reviews on the show- and it looked pretty good:

impersonators of Elton John, Elvis, Michael Jackson, Faith Hill, Aretha Franklin...

you know- the greats.

Too bad that their dancers were dressed in black and gold leather thongs...

yeah... gross.

We left.

We don't drink, we don't gamble... I don't think Vegas is really our town.

But all in all- our layover in Vegas was successful.
