Las Vegas Part 1

This past week Andrew and I took a vacation to Las Vegas while Andrew's parents were nice enough to watch the kiddos! We flew out Monday night and had some time to do a little sightseeing before bed.
A Big Boxing fight was going on at our hotel the day after we left.

Outside our hotel
The next morning we slept in since we stayed up until 1 which would be 3 Wichita time. Wayyy past our usually bedtime! We checked out the views from our room.
We had a delicious lunch at Tom Colicchio's 'Wichcraft( inside the MGM) which I would highly recommend eating at. We shared the Panini with Chicken breast, roasted red pepper, mozzarella and pesto on country bread and a whoopie pie!

Then we did a lot of walking. I swear we walked 100 miles that day! We checked out all the Casinos on the northeast half of the strip before turning around and going up the southeast side. We also made a trip back to our hotel since the two boxers Floyd Mayweather and Shane Mosley were coming in and Andrew wanted to get pictures. I guess it is supposed to be a pretty big fight.

The City Center and yes the buildings are leaning.

Our 1st gambling loss. You had to play a slot machine for 10 minutes with 10 other people and the person with the highest score wins.

The Gardens at the Bellagio.








For Dinner we decided to try out a grand Vegas style buffet at the Bellagio. I would not recommend it or any buffet. They are grand but there are so many other great places to eat at Vegas that we both agreed that we wished we wouldn't have wasted a meal going. After dinner we headed back to our hotel to do a little gambling before heading to our room to rest our poor feet.
