As I have said in my other entry, The Fountains of Bellagio are the highlight of most visits!  I found a new way to enjoy the experience with these guys!  Rafiq likes a cigar occasionally, so we got us cigars and sit and watched the fountains!  The amount of time it takes to smoke a …

So, this is a bit past due to post these pictures but when I look at them I still can't believe it snowed here in Vegas, much less how much!  I was born and raised here and we have had some small flakes fall but nothing that stuck to the ground for more than a half hour.  It sounds fu…

All I can say is WOW!!!  This city has an energy of it's own.  We stayed at the Straosphere Hotel. I'll have a review on it.  You can park in their garage, which cost nothing. We checked in and made our way thru the live music, card tables, and slot machines to the elevators. Up to t…

The Travbuddy meetup 3/1/08 at the Lucky Bar at Redrock Casino was the place to be tonight. Travbuddies from the western half of the US came out to mingle and tear up the dance floor!

Gas was back up to $3.199 here in Jerome last night.  Oh they do have lower priced gas, but it is only 85 octane instead of the 87 offered in all other western states.  So we opt for the mid range for at least a dime a gallon more.   Up early today for a very long drive. …

3:45am.  Didn't I just to to sleep and now I had to wake up?  If I wanted to get a ride to the airport that is the agonizing time I had to wake up.  Ben gets up every morning that early and I now understand why he is so tired by 8pm.  Luckily I had packed the night before, altho…

I felt like a little kid on their first trip to Disneyland. John had to lead me around by the hand as I stared at everything in awe. One minute I'm looking at a chocolate fountain, the next I'm face to face with a live white tiger, then all of a sudden I'm watching statues come to life in a room th…

What can I say, it was Vegas BABY! I met lots of great travel buddies, saw some sights, and took pics at the wax museum:)

The night I met Wayne Brady.......................... Ben, myself, Eli and Jess all went bowling Friday night at the South Point hotel and casino. We bowled 2 games, we wrapped things up around 12:30am and I was beat!! As we headed for the door, Ben stopped dead in his tracks!!  He said, "L…

For Christmas 2007 Margo had given me a spring trip to Las Vegas. This trip would coincide with our 21st wedding anniversary, so she thought that Vegas would be the place to go for 21.   We had the time jam packed and one of the things we saw was called “Bodies: The Exhibition”. I’ve w…

We were thrilled, Las Vegas, the city were everybody heard off. The city of gambling, incredible hotels, the strip, Fremont Street, and we saw it all. In the late afternoon we arrived and saw from the bus the Stratosphere and th Strip. Our hotel was just outside the centre, in Winchester. Immediate…

Farewell to Melbourne and to begin our Round-the-world trip.

There's three inescapable truths in Vegas - Death, taxes and the fact that almost every attraction worth visiting happens to located in the precincts of, and built by, one of the Las Vegas hotels / casinos. So if you're seeking thrills in Vegas (other the slots and tables), all you h…

A lot of work goes into these events racers spend months training and fine tuning their "boats". They are up before daylight packing all of their gear and loading up heavy machines onto trailers and into the back of truck beds just to drive hundreds of miles to get to a rac…
