Las Vegas Trip 2013: Part 2

The next day in Las Vegas (Thursday), we started at Bellagio and walked through all the resorts heading south.

The Bellagio was awesome!  They had some really beautiful sculptures and a botanical 

garden to walk through.

Isn't this the coolest tile work? I loved it. 

One of the other casinos was pretty fancy.  It had some cool crystals hanging from the lights.

Josh wanted to go in this see-through elevator (scary).  Actually, it wasn't too bad.

Cute ladybug sculptures in this neat garden.

Loved this mosaic staircase:

These towers all had a water tornado in them.  So cool to watch:

These sculptures were made of ice!

We saw New York, New York:

...and Excalibur:

Josh played a few games at the arcade in Excalibur:

For dinner that night we went to the Silverton where they have a Polynesian buffet on Thursdays.  It was really good and fun!  They had lau lau (Josh's favorite), and some delicious Poke (my fav) as well as all the other usuals like kalua pork, lomi lomi, etc.  They even had some sushi.

The day before we went through one of those lame time-share presentations so we could get concert tickets to the Blue Man Group.  Josh had been dying to see this show.  We got to go that night.  It was a fun show!

The next day (Friday), Josh had one more appointment.  Afterward, we went over to the Stratosphere.  Josh had stayed there years ago on another business trip and wanted to take me to the top of the tower.  When we got there we found out unless you are staying at the hotel, it's super expensive just to go to the top.  Josh was disappointed, but we passed.  We went to lunch at a little cafe there and Josh got a Stratosphere cup. :)

After that we went to a couple of souvenir shops to find some little gifts for the kids.  We got them each a teddy bear with a Las Vegas shirt.  Back at our hotel later, Josh wanted to try the Oxygen Bar.  It was not my favorite - it gave me a headache for some reason. :)

We also got a free limo ride for doing the timeshare presentation.  We didn't really know where to "ride" to, so we decided to take it to dinner at the Main Street Casino where we had their Seafood Buffet (yummy!).  

We didn't do a whole lot on Saturday.  We walked around for awhile then went and got some lunch.  We headed back to St George where we were very happy to see our kids, and the next day we headed home!
