What happens in Vegas. Stays in Vegas.

Except when you have kids.
On our way to California we stayed 2 nights and than 1 night on the way home. Are first 2 nights I made it about family. We mostly just hung out and relaxed. However we checked out the outlet mall and Fremont street.

The kids thought Fremont was pretty cool.

On the way home we stayed a night at the New York New York (love those agent rates)!

This was Jackson telling us he was ready to go out on the town.

(He was leaning forward in the stroller and sit back to get the stroller moving)

We took the kids to Hard Rock for dinner. The day prior Shane had bribed Anthony not to get his face painted that we would take him to play video games in Vegas.


We headed over to gameworks. Bought $20 in credit (which was entirely too much)

and let the kids have a hay day.
Anthony beat Shane at air hockey.

Jackson loved holding the gun and shooting things.

Anthony absoultly loved this game. The whole thing moved and really made him feel like he was flying.

I tell you things must have gotten pretty desperate in Vegas. The strip was lined up with characters. Some of the costumes were pretty sad looking. Talk about ruining a character for a child.

This stormtrooper was pretty cool. Anthony thought it was pretty cool to hold his blaster.

So my plan was to take Anthony down to the Mirage to see the Volcano.

We stoped and watched the fountains at the Belligo.

Which Anthony liked.

However by the time we made it down to the Mirage it was 10 after 11. Anthony was tired, and didn't want to keep walking (still needed to get back to our hotel). We learned that the volcanos only go off every hour til mindnight. There was no way we were going to sit and wait by this time. Needless to say I was pretty bummed that we didn't see the volcano.

But there is always next year.
