Vegas trip $$$



Back to reality, we returned Sat am on a red eye flight after 6 days of fun in the sun and crazy nite life. Pictured here is the singer who performs as Neil Diamond. It was a great show and although he doesn't look like Neil here, the show was very good. I was surprised that Brian liked Neil Diamond. One of my favs since "The Jazz Singer" movie.
We lounged at the pool everyday for about 3-4 hours. The temps were about 90-95 degrees. Home was 60 and raining when we got home.
We also saw Tony and Tina Wedding at the Rio. It's a wedding reception dinner theater. All improv/interactive type comedy and they feed you, italian wedding food. Very Fun. We also saw Cir de sol at the New York New York casino, wasn't as good as other Cir shows,but still amazing. That's the first picture above.
We also spent 1 day at Red Rock Canyon. You can see why it's called Red Rock. Beautiful area, very quiet and clear blue sky. We went on a 20 mile seanic drive and with many pull off areas we were able to hike around a little. We ran into a pair of wild burros grazing by the road side. Next year we will plan more off strip activities. The grand canyon is only 75 miles away. Well no jackpots to speak of but we did play the roulette wheel this time. That was fun and we played 2-3 hours before losing the wad for the night. Now it's back to reality, home improvements and football. Luff to ewe all.

Lisa... awesome! I am so envious of your yearly trip to Vegas! You both look great in your pictures. I like that you got pictures with the performers. Did you take more pictures? I can help you with posting them on shutterfly, if you want to share more pictures? Did you do any shopping?

What a great job of bloggin'. I was a bit cornfused at first thinking the girl in the first pix was a Neil Diamond impersonator.
What a hot mama you are, Lisa, all decked out. Loved the outfits down to the earings. Loved your story about the silver shoes, too.
