Vegas Vacation Day 1

So arrived Friday afternoon and Bamm-Bamm was already there. Everything worked out smoothly (thanks again Travelocity) and we got to our hotel. Couldn't believe what a great location it was, right near all the things I wanted to see. Luckily, they gave us 2 beds and our room was huge.


The only bad meal of our trip was the first one. Starving, we sat down at the Tequila Bar in the lobby. The only upside is that I immediately knew it wasn't the place to splurge on a steak or a burger so I ended up with the veggie sandwich. Anwyays, anxious to see the sights we got dolled up and headed out.

Vegas was everything that I imagined it to be. Colorful, exciting, energetic, almost surreal. One part tacky and neon pink (the Flamingo) and one part class and sophistication (Ceaser's Palace), it was almost overwhelming trying to take it all in. We walked down the strip stopping at the big hotels which all seemed pretty similar to me. Seeing the Bellagio fountains that night was definitely the highlight of my trip.


We ended up at an outdoor bar overlooking the strip at Planet Hollywood. Perfect for people watching and just soaking up the atmosphere. We met some friendly locals, as well as a very enthusiastic group of Ricky Hatton fans from England. So mission accomplished for Day 1.
