Las Vegas, NV

Morning Walkabout

    We decided that rather than drive and miss all the fun places along the way, we would walk from Excalibur to Treasure Island, have lunch, then return.  What we though would be a simple jaunt turned into a mile-and-a-half hike (each way) in grueling heat of about 110°.  It about did us in, but we survived.  We did end up carrying the girls most of the way back, though.

Remember: When in Las Vegas, drive when you can!  

 

I knew it was far, but I didn't expect that we would walk all the way to the Brooklyn Bridge.  And isn't that the Eiffel Tower I see in the background?

Alena & Ashlyn toss coins into a fountain for good luck.

One of Siegfried and Roy's Royal White Tigers struts by...

Then he pauses for a perfect photo opportunity.

Ay, matey, you'll be walkin' the plank if'n you're not careful.

The pirate's ship is preparing for a battle at Treasure Island. 

 

Evening Excursion

After a long afternoon nap and a swim, we headed out to Circus Circus (yes, we drove this time) for dinner and some fun.

The Race is on...

Hey, mom, look at me...

The girls try for the catch of the day.

Mom waits with the girls for the show.

We were dazzled by the performance.

The girls proudly display the spoils of the evening by the Circus Circus Marquee.
