Elvis has left the building!

We arrived in Las Vegas on Wednesday night, went to our room to get settled in, then immediately headed down to the casinos. John won $100 right off the bat!

We prefer to stay downtown rather than on the strip. Everything is much closer together so it's easier to go from place to place without having to walk forever.

The pool at our hotel had a shark tank right in the middle of it! There was also a slide going right into the tank:

On Thursday, we headed to the strip to do some shopping, sightseeing and gambling.

I can't remember where this is, but thought the waterfall was pretty:

This is a chopper we saw inside one of the casinos:

We rented a a brand new Mustang convertible while we were there. We tried to rent a motorcycle but, due to the Las Vegas River Run, we were unable to get one.

On Friday, we took a ride out to the Valley of Fire:

On Saturday, we came back home. Our plane was delayed about an hour, while we were sitting in it, but the pilot managed to make up some of the lost time in flight.
