Strip Search

This is blog #2 of our Vegas Road Trip. I suppose I could have posted all pics at once, but that would have been BLOG OVERLOAD. If you are a glutton for punishment and want to check out blog #1 that covers the first part of our journey, our groupie stops and food intake, click here: Vegas Baby

To recap, we stayed on The Strip at the Paris and needed to cram all the new things to see along with our old favorites into two days...no easy feat. We walked in every direction, camera in hand, day and night, to experience, document, preserve and share our memories. We came across a lot of fun and beautiful things.

The first night we went out to check out the sights and the lights and, to our surprise, all the lights were off for a once-a-year "Let's save some energy for an hour" deal. REALLY, on a Saturday night??? Couldn't you do it on a Tuesday or something?

Vegas Unplugged

We went over to the Bellagio to see the light show up close and we waited, and waited, and waited....Nada!

Bellagio Black Out

That's More Like It

We checked out the new attraction, The High Roller @ The Linq. A giant Ferris Wheel that holds 40 people per car and goes around super slow (once around takes an hour) so you can have a cool party. Big bucks - No thanks!

The Wheel in the Sky Keeps on Turning

Slow-Moving Party Balls

We ran across a whole cast of characters.

Mostly we just cruised around and had fun together.

Hey, Honey, Can you turn on the Light?

And spent a little moolah. Well, not here.

Counting His Dough

Then we headed home. And just like our trip, the sky was fabulous. 

Space Ship Clouds

I now see that putting our whole trip into only two blogs was no easy feat either. I had a ton more pictures, but I don't want to bore you. Maybe another time.
