Ok, been there – done that!! Vegas was alright.
It was record heat while we were there 120 in the damn shade!! I had a good time tho. We were there 5 days and 4 nights so we packed in every day doing sight-seeing. Went down on Freemont (the old Main Street) where they have all the lights and then they have this awesome light show on the ceiling!! It is like a canopy covering the whole block. We saw comedian LouieAnderson, who looked kinda frail and he had a cold and was limping on his hurt leg. But, he was funny as hell. We saw "O" by Cirque du Soleil and that was a show to behold. Simply magnificent!! (

We went to Madame Tusaud's house of wax. Visited the Coca-Cola store and the M&M's store. The hotels were beautiful. Some had painted ceilings and floral conservatory. The Bellagio hotel had a fantastic light and water show with music. We stayed at the Treasure Island and went down stairs to the Tangerine Club and the Mist Lounge. We got in VIP because we stayed at the T.I. I wanted to go to Pure nightclub (Lindsay Lohan was supposed to be there for her birthday, lol). We went over to Jet nightclub (right across from our hotel), but the line was atrocious and they were serving “locals night”. If we had known we could use our T.I. key, we would have gotten in there VIP as well, because they are sister hotels. Other than the heat, I had a good time.
I don't gamble, so that was not fun for me. You can go broke in Vegas, but I actually came home with $200 left from my budget. I refused to spend outrageous amounts for stuff that didn't really excite me. I did a bit of shopping while there and actually found some good deals. lol If I ever decide to go back, it won't be in the summer and it may not be for another 5-10 years. I took quite a few pictures, but I am still stuck with a regular 35 mm camera and need to get my film developed. lol
