Bryan and I in front of the conservatory gardens in the Bellagio- the flowers were BEAUTIFUL. Yes, I had a few glasses of wine before this photo...
The view across the street at night. See the sign for the show Jubilee at left? That's the show we went to. FYI- even if the show looks classy, pasties are not included in Vegas Showgirls shows. Boobies. Everywhere. Bryan loved that show.
This is the conservatory again. There were two greenhouses where guys were taking live butterflies out of envelopes and letting them fly. BONUS: I identified these as Blue Morpho Butterflies because I recognized them from an episode of Go, Diego, Go!
Our side trip to the Hoover Dam. Totally amazing, engineering-wise. I admit, though, it made me feel pretty incompetent. I'm just not a think-outside-the-box type of person.
I put a dollar into this penny slot machine at Hard Rock Casino and turned it into $8.00! That's an 800% return!
Then I lost it all. So muc for cab fare back to the hotel. 
I took a picture of these pastries at the Jean-Phillipe chocolate/pastry shop at the hotel-- who could eat those? They are works of art!
We took a trip downtown to Fremont Street, where they are trying to breathe life back into the old casinos since everyone stays around the mega-casinos now. They now have this amazing light show (all set to Queen songs) over the street every hour- they turn off all the lights except for the show on the canopy overhead. Very cool.
We had an awesome trip. We didn't spend as much as we thought, so that counts as winning money, right? There was lots of walking to see the different hotels/casinos-- we even sunck up onto an upper floor in the Luxor to get a view from the pyramid from the top. There was too much to see for 3 days (especially since I spent one morning recovering)...so we need to go back. Anyone up for a Vegas trip next year with us? :)

You know Bobby and I came across this great opportunity to go to Vegas for only $99.00-Count us in..but no boobie shows,unless it's mine!
That trip sounds/looks like a lot of fun. Glad you two enjoyed yourselves...
Hey Laurie!
Sounds like you two had a blast! I saw Jubilee a couple of years ago (the topless one) and really enjoyed it...so did Matt! LOL! BTW- the light show has actually been there for years and years- like when my dad was in the airforce back in the 70's. They do change it often though. Were there commercials in the one you saw? Did you go to any cool buffets? I'm jealous you got to go. We usually go once a year, but put our regular trip on hold this year due to the new business. :-(
I'm down! Doh! And i turned down those condo people... damn.
