VIVA LAAAAAS VEGAS!

This is Vegas!!

This was the main reason Gary's parents came to visit us, Vegas trip via Houston!! Haha

After Houston city run was done, we went to Vegas for 4 days 3 nights. Main activities: watch Mystere, KA, The Beatles LOVE, rides, and visit Red Rock.

To the left is Stratosphere Hotel, the tallest building located at the end of The Strip, where we stayed. At the top of the tower there were several rides--one that shoots you up, one that dangles you over the edge, one that spins you off the tower, and a sky jump like free fall off the tower.

Yep, like that, off the edge at the top of the tower!

First thing first, up the tower we went. Behind was the Vegas Strip

You can see Vegas' landscape in the background

Boys will be boys

Walking on the Strip to the main bit and the popular hotels

Finally got to Bellagio--the famous Bellagio fountain! Water dancing in sync with Chorus Line's "One"

Back to the hotel before going out again... spending away Gary's dolla dolla bills!

Next evening, dinner at a very posh looking teppanyaki restaurant at The Hilton, Benihana. First time for Gary's parents to try

New York New York. We went on that roller coaster ride the next day

Where you can easily spend $20 in 2 minutes

Ching! Ching! Ching! Ching!

An escape from the slot machines, the hotels, the city was so refreshing!

Drive to the Red Rock Canyon took only 30 minutes from our hotel. We drove on the Scenic Drive and stopped time to time at different look out spots and even went on an easy 40 minutes hike and found a seasonal waterfall. We recommend visiting Red Rock if you don't have too much time to spare but still want to get away from the city. If you have sometime, go for a hike (ranging from easy, moderate, difficult) but PLEASE wear proper footwear!

Take a hike!!

There IS a waterfall in the back!

Our last show of the trip

Vegas, DONE! (But will be back next time to watch "O" and Zumanity, woop woop!)
