What Happens in Vegas . . .

Jacob and I met up with Jim, Adam, and Richie in Las Vegas late Thursday night. The five of us have been having a blast here the past few days. On Saturday afternoon, we had tickets for "The Price is Right Live" show. Although none of us were beckoned to "come on down," we had a great time watching the chosen contestants play games and win prizes. Last night we went to see the Australian Bee Gees, an awesome "tribute band" who not only sounded like the real Brothers Gibb, but they looked like them as well. In between, we have been swimming, eating, drinking, shopping, etc. Oh, we have done a little gambling, too - Richie much more than the rest of us. Adam has to head back to Colorado tonight and Richie is off to Michigan Tuesday morning. Jim, Jacob, and I fly to Texas tomorrow afternoon, so our Easter break will continue at our Houston house.


We received a photo of our group in front of the Price is Right wheel. Notice anything amiss in this picture?

The view out of our hotel window - New York New York's roller coaster, Excalibur, the tip of Luxor's pyramid, and Mandalay Bay.


I love the dancing fountains outside of Bellagio. So pretty!


The boys posed with the Eiffel Tower in the background.


The bums around here are quite the characters. This guy's sign read, "Why Lie, Need Beer." A few years back, another Vegas hobo shouted at Adam, "I thought I told you to get a haircut." Street people are always so entertaining!

Wow, that brought back memories! Used to go to Vegas a lot for business. Lots of conventions, so always on the "company nickel." Never gambled much there though. But had some incredible dinners and did some top flight entertaining! Have fun! YOWZA!
