Day 4 Vegas

Monday, June 13, 2011

Day 4 started a little late due to staying out until 2 a.m. While we were getting ready for the day I received a phone call from a cousin who lives in Arizona, and was in Vegas for business. He invited us out for lunch and it was so wonderful to see him - first time since 2003.

After lunch we went to the Venetian (by far my favorite casino/hotel), Treasure Island, Mirage and Caesar's Palace. Again I was amazed at the architecture and design.

Before we knew it, it was time to head back to Laughlin and return our rental car - hated to leave because there was so much more to see. On the way back we stopped at Hoover Dam (pictures to come later - after I download them) and arrived in Laughlin about 10 p.m. Returned the car and stopped at a few casinos on the way back to our hotel. I am still amazed at how much ground we covered during two days in Vegas.

    Yes, you sure can do a lot and see a lot in two days in Vagas, my favorite Place to be for a few days. Glad you are having a wonderful time.

    Hoover Dam fascinated DH. He took more photos there than he did in Vegas. Glad you got to see you cousin. I am not close to any of my six cousins, and I think that is a shame. Oh, well, friends are the family you choose. I have lots of great friends like YOU!
