Las Vegas Baby

This was my first time going to Las Vegas, and the last time Zak was there he was 9, so it was a new experience for the both of us. I got quite a bit of advice before we went, one being- don't take pamplets or anything they are handing out, don't look down at those papers. I was shocked at how much of porn is handed out, and advertised on trucks, and advertised everywhere!!!! I really have never seen so much alcohol, heard all sorts of foreign languages, drunk people, weird people, and expensive stuff in my entire life! Every hotel we walked in as we went down the strip was packed with people gambling- I couldn't believe how many people there were. Zak and I had lots of fun, and it was fun to see the strip, but we are sure glad for our quiet, goody, goody, little town.
We went to Las Vegas with Zak's work to go to the PBR- Professional Bull Riding, so we arrived on Friday night, stayed up way, way late, checking out the strip. On Saturday we went to a Big Fancy Mall, I picked up a pair of shoes, because I thought they were cute- they were $465, Zak saw the price, and said, "Set those down very carefully, do not break them." I couldn't believe how expensive everthing was, I also got to see my first fashion show there. We viewed more of the strip, went to New York New York, and did the roller coaster ride- I'm so glad I didn't have a heart attack- that was so scary. Then Saturday Night we went to the PBR, had dinner, and went to bed. On Sunday we came home. Here are some pictures of our trip:






Water Show at the Beliago- very cool

THe pumpkin patch- the pumpkins weight between 800 lbs and 900 lbs

Looks like so much fun! I've never been to Vegas, but I've been told the same things as you were-like not taking the pamphlets. Funny.
