Las Vegas - "Final Chapter"

Here are the rest of the pictures that I took on the trip to Las Vegas. These were all taken on the same day, Wednesday, 11/04/2009, These first 4 pictures were taken as we were walking out of the Mirage Hotel. I thought they were gorgeous and had to have a picture! The pink flowers are very similar to some that Matt and I saw outside of our hotel on our trip to Hawaii in 2008. I thought they were beautiful and fell in love with them then......and I still love them! Seeing them in Las Vegas reminded me of our trip to Hawaii.

This picture is the view from the Mirage Hotel as we were standing at the Valet Parking in front, waiting for them to bring us our SUV.

These are just 2 more pictures of Vegas that I took as we were walking the strip some more.

While we were down there, the 4 of us stayed at the Luxor Hotel. It was pretty nice and we enjoyed our stay. Here are some pictures of the hotel.

These pictures are of the Venetian Hotel.........Absolutely gorgeous!

On the Strip, there are lots of shops, etc......lots of different ways to spend your money! We spent the morning of Thursday, 11/05/2009 walking around and checking out a couple more things on the Strip before we headed out and drove back home that afternoon. We stopped in at this little shop to find out more information about taking a helicopter tour and to see if maybe the four of us could go before we headed out of Vegas. Unfortunately, it costs a lot of money and we didn't have enough time to do it. Next time, though!!

Anyway, Xavier has a great love and fascination with helicopters and flying. He's very passionate about it and very knowledgeable. It's what he wants to do for a career and he's been working very hard to achieve the goal of flying helicopters and saving lives....hopefully in the near future! As a result, I had to take a couple of pictures of this helicopter they had as part of the decoration in this shop. Here you go, Xavier!! :)

Thanks for going to Las Vegas with us, Tammy and Xavier, and for giving us a good excuse to get out of town on a quick trip for a couple days! We had a lot of fun with you guys! Sure do love you both!! :)
