Sunday afternoon at the park before we left...
At the Calgary Airport
New York New York Hotel
Night shot of the strip
The sign outside our hotel
Our first morning to find fun and excitement..
palm trees everywhere....
a view of the traffic on the strip from the bus..
two hotels owned by the same man just starting at $750 a night...
A bronze statue of Siegfried and Roy
Treasure Island Hotel
Statues at the doorway
Motorbike inside with slot machines in the background
Beautiful landscaping walking up to the Mirage
Elton John's red piano in Caesar Palace
Foyer of Caesar Palace
In the hotel we stayed in there was a midway and a circus all the time. Here are a few of the circus acts we saw.
Found this familiar site in the parking lot of our hotel!
Slot machines everywhere!
We went to the shark reef at the Mandalay Bay... here are just a few pictures of our time there.. above is a gator whose species is almost extinct.
Some kinda fish??
Beautiful flowers
Brodie touching a sting ray, he told us it was slimey..
Jelly fish
The Luxor (Brodie's favorite)
We went to Madame Trousseaus interactive wax muesum above is the blue man group that paintthemselves blue before they perform.
Arnold, and Brodie trying to look tough!
Brodie tackling Joe Montana...
Evel Knievel
Abe with two friends...
First girl on the moon???
You see Elvis everywhere...even with a riders hat!
Our hotel where we stayed, we got lost in it the first night! Nevin finally found the front door the next morning!
A ball of water amongst beautiful flowers
Gorgeous... in the Bellagio Hotel
See the ladybug?
Butterfly solarium
Snail made of flowers
Ceiling of the foyer in the Bellagio Hotel..
The only picture I could get of the extreme magic show we went to... no pictures during the show or they would feed you to the tigers! Very awesome as all magic shows are....
Eiffel tower... can ride to the top and see a whole lot!
The Castle (Danika's favorite) or Excalibur where we would likely stay another time.
M&M factory a very cool and huge place. Anything you can dream of with M&M on it!
Posing with an M&M guy.
Only family photo of the trip...in the M&M factory.
Glowing!
Brodie standing by a joshua tree. Apparently these trees live to be over 900 years old and grow an incha year.
The vegetation in the desert
We had lunch in an old west town and this was the live entertainment... Danika stopped for a pose!
The first of many views of the Grand Canyon
Can you see the eagle in the rock formation?? This point is called eagle point and is very sacred to the Indians there.
The Skywalk... $30 per person to walk on it... you walk on glass... you had to be pretty psyched up to walk on it!
An Indian dancer
It was a pretty chilly day for awhile it was actually snowing for a bit!
A rock on the edge
This is the highest point we climbed... we could see a long way...
Straight down.. that line at the bottom is the Colorado River
It's a long way down Dad!
Our tour guide told us this was the world's largest waterslide! All I did to take this picture was look out my window it was that close to the road. It is really the spillway for the dam.
Hoover Dam
The switch back road to get across the dam.
The new bridge that will be part of the Cosmo going over the Hoover dam
When it is all done it will be double lanes so no more twisting and turning all the way down ad back up again.
Bellagio Hotel at night. From the front doors until we took this picture we probably walked 20 mins.
The water show set to music. Was a free show every 15 minutes.
Amazing..
more Bellagio water show
Freemont Street the entire roof would light up one every hour and put on a show...very amazing!
A man SPRAY PAINTED this picture in 4 minutes. Unbelievable!
The duece was our main form of transportation, a double decker bus that went up and down the strip all day and all night. $7 for 24 hrs you could ride and see the sights.
Brodie and Danika with Sponge Bob, there was a new 4-D Sponge Bob ride they went on and loved. You sit in a theater seat put on 3-D glasses and hang on for the ride!
