What Happens In Vegas...



Vegas was a lot of fun and exhausting. I’d never been so it was kind of overwhelming. The strip was a lot different than I expected (less porn and much cleaner). I could explain more but you’ve most likely have been there, so you know what it’s like already. On Friday afternoon, I went swimming with Tyler at the hotel pools. There were 3 pools and several spas, one with a few small waterfalls. They also had a lazy river. I helped Tyler practice holding his breath under water and floating. We also played hide and seek. He did a really good job about getting in and everything. I was really surprised actually. Steven had his car show thing, so the rest of us went down to the strip to see stuff. We went to M&M World, Hershey’s, and then walked all the way to the Bellagio fountain to watch the short show there. There were 25 MILLION M&Ms in those tubes in the picture and that Liberty statue is made all of chocolate. There were two others made of jelly beans and licorice. They also had a ton of different kinds of Reese’s. The ones in the picture are half a pound each! Crazy! It doesn’t seem like it’s that far down the street, but the way they have you go to avoid intersections, we ended up going on lots of elevators and escalators. I’ve never been on so many elevators and escalators on one trip, let alone in one night! We also had to go through a tunnel and over a couple bridges. Needless to say, Mom and Dad (especially Dad) had a hard time walking, but they did it. There were so many people out, especially as it got later. It was kind of cool to see all the people dressed up really fancy to go out on the town to a club or something. I only ever see that in movies. It was also interesting walking through the casinos with all the tables that people sit at and play card games and gamble. I’ve only ever seen that in movies, too. There were some weird people on the street. There were a bunch of guys dressed up as all the Avengers and then Spiderman. Spiderman was super bold asking for 10-20 dollars for Tyler to take a picture with them. Yeah, right.

Here is the video of Day 1.
