We spent the next few days in Vegas, Baby! J No gambling for us, but we enjoyed walking around the strip and checking out all the sights in a lot of the different casinos. A lot of the big ones have themes and free shows, so we saw a few of those. There was a cool volcano eruption at the Mirage, and it was especially cool at night. The light show at the Bellagio was a must, and it was better at night, as well.
The Silverton had a free aquarium to check out, and Mandalay Bay had a very cool aquarium called the Shark Reef. It was all decorated for Halloween.
We checked out the live flamingos at the The Flamingo, and saw the BIG gold nugget at The Golden Nugget. At Treasure Island, there was a pretty cool pirate show with a sinking pirate ship and dancers. Cool indoor gardens at the Bellagio, too.
Although we visited Fremont Street and saw the light show overhead, which was cool as always, the crowd there was REALLY seedy and made me nervous enough to keep one hand on Sam and the other on my back pocket the whole time!
We visited with some friends who live in the area, and it was good to catch up with them over dinner and visit their new house, complete with an array of solar panels – very nice!
One day we drove over to tour the Hoover Dam - it is so massive and awesome! We toured the inside, and then also drove around to take some pics outside. They have changed the roads around it a little, making more parking area, and increasing security a lot since 9/11.

While there, we also took a day trip on the bus to visit the Grand Canyon Skywalk. It was pricey, and a long ride for a quick walk, but it was something that you don’t get the opportunity to do every day! Awesome views!
