Jesse and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary last October and we decided that we wanted to take a Vegas trip. Cindie's mom, Terry, and her husband have a timeshare that they let us use so we got an awesome rate. Eddie and Bernie joined us and we had a great trip. We went to a car museum that had a lot of old, vintage cars. Eddie loved it and I had a lot of fun checking out the price of each vehicle since the majority of them were for sale. There was one that cost around a million dollars!
The concierge at our timeshare told us there was a great restaurant called Ellis Island that made awesome ribs and brewed their own beer and root beer. I'm not a huge rib fan myself but I got some delicious chicken and the root beer was excellent!
Jesse and I wanted to stop by the pawn shop run by the "Pawn Stars". There were a lot of interesting items but nothing that particularly stood out. It's fun to say that we have been there, though.
We stopped by a lot of the different hotels while in Vegas and all of them were decorated beautifully. They recently open a Carlo's Bakery at the Venetian so I had to stop and try it out. Their canolli's were great and the lobster tails were amazing! There was a beautiful waterfall inside the Venetian and it was decorated to celebrate the Chinese year of the Goat.
The day we stopped by the Luxor it was really overcast and Jesse took these awesome pictures of the Sphinx in the front. They definitely have an eerie feeling about them.
We watched the fountain show outside of the Bellagio. They have their own small lake in front of the hotel and the show is pretty spectacular! The weather wasn't as warm as we were expecting but it was still warmer than Bern.
We were able to got to two different shows while in Vegas. The first was Tournament of Kings at the Excalibur. Everyone is seated in different sections and then you cheer for the king/knight representing your section. We were in the Dragon section so we cheered for the bad guy. It was so entertaining and I thought the food was great! Bernie and I were able to get a picture with the Dragon knight after the show. I would definitely go again.
The second show we went to was Mystere by Cirque du Soleil. I didn't get any pictures but it was amazing! The performers are so talented and so strong. It's just incredible and I loved it!
