Our Trip to Las Vegas!!!

Jeremy and I took a trip to Las Vegas this last week. We've been a couple of times before and wanted to do and see different things this time. We left on Saturday afternoon. We landed in Las Vegas right on time. We went to our hotel to check in and then headed to Fremont Street, which is downtown Las Vegas for those who don't know. We had been there before, but missed out on seeing the Lazar Light Show, which is a show that they do every night up on the ceiling above all of the shops and casinos. Below is a picture of part of it. It didn't last very long, but it was kind of fun to watch.


Sunday night we watched a show called La Reve which is an aquatic show that plays at the Wynn with dancing, swimming and people were even swinging and doing tricks from the ceiling! The stage is in the center of a big dome and it goes up and down out of the water through out the show. This show was absolutely amazing to watch. We weren't allowed to take any pictures during the show for the safety of the performers, but below is one that we took when the show was over.

Monday and Tuesday Jeremy bowled in nationals, which was the main reason for our trip. Monday was his team bowling event and he did okay. He would have liked to have done a little better, but the lane conditions are so different when you play in big events. Tuesday was his doubles and singles events. He did good enough to win some money for both events. He was only 5 pins away from getting money for all events, so close! He won't know what he wins though until August when they mail out the checks. Nationals go from April to July. 17,000 teams signed up this year, 60,000 people! So it takes time for everyone to get a chance to bowl.

Monday night we walked over to Treasure Island to watch their free show that they do every night if it's not too windy. It's called Sirens of TI. It was kind of cool for a free show. There were so many people crowded around us so close together though that it kind of made uncomfortable and I was ready for it to be over. Below is a picture of part of it.

At the MGM they have a Lion Habitat that's always fun to stop and see. Of course they were sleeping when we stopped by to see them.

Here's a dark picture of me and Jeremy sitting at the Monorail station on our way to the Luxor to see Criss Angel's Believe. We didn't have any plans for Tuesday night so we got some tickets for half price. Our seats weren't the greatest, but for the price they weren't too bad. I enjoyed the show more than Jeremy did. He ended up getting sick and was ready for bed. Poor guy.

Aside from all of the bowling and shows, we did some shopping too. We brought back souvenirs for all of the kids from different casinos. We didn't gamble too much and we didn't drink too much, so it made for a memorable trip.
