Las Vegas!

Hi. We are now officially in Las Vegas. My mother  drove for 12 hours and we stopped in a town to watch the trains go by. We drove through the Death Valley area and stopped in a town outside Las Vegas called Baker. We were driving to Las Vegas when the car started to chug. We  pulled over ton the side of the road. Then the car sadly broke down outside of Baker. We had to call AAA and they towed us almost 100 miles to Las Vegas.

The next day, we went to Caesars Palace and we watched a moving statue show. We also ate at a buffet in Las Vegas at The Orleans Hotel and Casino. When we go out again, we will go watch a volcano show at the Mirage Hotel and go to Circus Circus tomorrow. We are going to Circus Circus to see the acrobats there and the magic show.

Since we broke down, AAA is paying for our stay in the hotel we are staying at, our food, and transportation.  We are getting it all paid for by them since the car broke down.  It's like a free vacation on AAA!  Well, except for the part where Mama has to pay the auto repair shop.  We are staying at a hotel just a block away from The Strip.

The internet connection at the hotel isn't letting me upload pictures but I'll try again later when the MiFi is charged.

Viva Las Vegas!

  2. Glad you made it! Frances liked the Forum shops at Caesar's Palace.

    My favorite is the water show outside Bellagio and wandering around Paris!

    Have fun! Love, Aunt Michele

  3. Thanks Eddie! Tia Michele, we went to the Forum today but we didn't shop. That's okay with me. Mama doesn't usually shop on vacation but Solina wanted to go up the escalator so that's how we ended up in there. Also, Mama says that the Bellagio was in some famous movies. We are going to check out their water show Wednesday or Thursday evening because of your tip! Thanks for the tip Tia Michele!
