***Picture overload!
But we thoroughly enjoyed Zion and then it was on to Vegas. We stayed at the KOA campground right behind Circus, Circus. It was actually a lot nicer then expected, but no grass…..that is about right for Vegas.
We went to this Italian restaurant in a shopping center, called Hole In The Wall…….I believe. Great food……all the house wine you can drink, I was feeling very nice….lol I just wish the salad and bread wasn’t so good…..I would’ve ate more of my chicken parm that was great. It was another great suggestion by Holly.
The next day, we had lunch with Holly at the Peppermill…….dang, those portions were huge. We ordered dessert…..Harold, a strawberry shortcake and me a hot fudge brownie sundae….neither of which we would’ve been able to finish on an empty stomach much less just eaten. It was good.
During all our trips to Vegas we had never seen the light/water show. When we 1st got there in was in the middle of “1st Kiss?†by Faith Hill?…..that wasn’t very good. When you come to see the light/water show pop music, especially that one, does not fit. But they do shows every 15 minutes and the next one was a duet Italian opera…..it was great! That was so fitting. We can’t come to Vegas again without seeing that.
Then we decided to do the tourist, another 1st for us. We are usually here on business so we barely get out of the hotel & convention centers to see the sights. So we tried to walk a very small part of the strip. I will say, I now know what Toni Braxton has been………lol…..I use to love her stuff and seen her open for Kenny G years ago.
I just thought this was kind of cool looking.
We then headed over to old Vegas, since I barely had any life left in my feet….ggrrr, and wanted to see the light show there. It is called Freemont Street, I believe. It had some of the old gaudy signs from the 60s/70s. So that was cool. The only thing I didn’t care for is that the light show was only at the top of the hour……….so we had to wait like 40 min. I expected at least every 30min., but it was a cool show to see.
Later that night we realized that we never had supper………but we were so full from lunch that it didn’t make much of dent on us.
=)
Later that evening Holly took us to a great Mexican place. Other then Portland last fall, we haven’t had good, much less great Mexican food since Indiana……I know, so sad. But dang it was excellent. Another too much food and barely ate it all….I even had 2 pina colas, I usually only have 1.
For the end of Tuesday night, we just had a really fun time and it was thanks to Holly. Thanks hon!
