We went to Las Vegas on January 23rd, for a couple of nights to spread out in a hotel. We got a great rate at the NYNY Hotel, and really enjoyed the place. Blackjack wasn't very kind to me, but I wasn't there to gamble, and I didn't lose much. One of the kids' favorite things was the large Lady Liberty made entirely of JellyBelly jellybeans!
The hotel looked kind of like the Manhattan Skyline from the outside, and the inside was a series of different "buildings", differentiated by each one's bank of elevators. It was very hard to tell which building you were in from the outside. Our rooms were around the back. The kids discussed going on the roller coaster - which weaves in and out of all the buildings and outside as well, with a few loops worked in, but they decided against it. Maybe it was the way Mario and I said, "Not a Chance!!" to us going with them!!
On Thursday afternoon the kids and I went across the street to the Coca-Cola store and the M&M store. Genny, as always, was up for a pose!
We stayed two more days at the KOA in Las Vegas, which is at Circus Circus, and on Saturday we went over to the Bellagio. The fountains were really amazing, I think I could have stayed there all day watching them! The kids had other ideas, they wanted to see the inside...
The chocolate fountain was another favorite, I think the kids liked it even more than the water fountain!
Genny and I loved the Crystal horse, it was beautiful! They had a garden inside too, that was inspired by the Chinese New Year. This year is the year of the Snake, which is the same as the year I was born.
That's all for now, next up is Arizona, and a stop in Flagstaff to spend the day with my cousin Ron!
