Viva Las Vegas--Part II

Luxor:
Very cool hotel/casino. We saw Carrot Top, the comedian. He was the best one either of us have ever seen. We both highly recommend him if you get the chance to see him. Hilarious...we were rolling the whole time!


MGM:

They had this great lion exhibit. They had three lionesses who were all sisters...so cute!
Paris:
I LOVED the Eiffel Tower. The hotel is kind of in the middle of the strip so the Eiffel Tower looks so beautfiul at night. We rode up to the top of the tower and saw an amazing view of Las Vegas. A little scary...but overall so awesome. The hotels don't look as significant from way up there.
A view of the inside of the Paris casino.
A view of the strip from the top of the Eiffel Tower. The picture didn't turn out so great but still a neat view.
Planet Hollywood:
AWESOME hotel! It is really hip and modern. I think this is where we will stay next time we go to Vegas. They have the best shopping too...Miracle Mile Shops...150 shops and 70 restaurants. It is affordable too, not those designer stores.
We ate at La Salsa Cantina...yum! This margarita was my favorite!
This "Champion Burrito" was Jacob's favorite! We love mexican food!
Not long after, the margarita is gone! It was good:)
Mandalay Bay:
We went to the Shark Reef at this hotel on our last morning. Jacob loves this kind of stuff and it was well worth the $32. They had such beautiful displays and habitats for all the animals. Very cool!The M&M Store:
Everything and anything M&M! We also got to learn how M&M's are made. Pretty dang similar to how pills and tablets are made!

They had little displays set up with M&M's. This one was my favorite. If you can't read what it says on the chalkboard...it says, "I will not melt in the hand!"

Random:
Even the Walgreens sign is neon!

Just goofing around! (I believe this was after the margarita!)
It was a great trip...after 4 1/2 days though, we had had enough of Vegas...we were ready to get back home!

How the heck were you standing after that margarita? That thing was huge. I am pretty sure I would pass out if I had that :) Vegas looks like so much fun! I am glad you got to go with Jacob. Hope to see you around Christmas.

Yeah, it was the most Tequila I'd ever had in one drink! It wasn't as strong as normal margaritas at restaurants so I wasn't too bad! It still made me loopy though!
