It's Back to Vegas...

So...apparently it is our new thing to go out of town right before Christmas! Not sure if that is the smartest idea, but this year I finished all of my Christmas shopping a little early - so it ended up being alright! We went with some of Alex's family and met up with more of his family when we got there. It was great to see family we haven't seen in a while! So, last Sunday we hopped on a plane at 6:00am and two planes and a two hour time difference later, we were in Vegas at 9:00am. We had to burn some time before we could check-in to the hotel to take a nap, so we did a little exploring and picture taking that morning!

The picture below is inside the Venetian. It is so beautiful inside all of the huge fancy hotels, and all of Vegas was decorated so pretty for Christmas! The Christmas tree below was also pretty cool. It was so tall and it had a ton of lights that turned all different colors.

Vegas has some great shows outside of some of the hotels at night. The picture below is of Alex and I in front of the Mirage. It has a volcano that erupts every half-hour, and it is a great sight to see! The other two pictures are of us in front of Caesar's Palace!

We went to a show one night called, "Recycled Percussion." It was pretty awesome! It is a group of four guys that have a band that is known as - JUNK ROCK. During the show, they use drum sticks to hit on buckets, power tools or any other kind of recycled object to make music. Each audience member got a drum stick and piece of metal to hit during the show as well, so it was very interactive. The pictures of us below are after the show was over!

One day we took a cab down to Fremont street, to see some of the shops and hotels down there. The picture below is of a guy who spray paints pictures. I have to say that it was pretty incredible to watch him do this. I do not know how they get those beautiful pictures out of only spray paint!

All-in-all, our trip to Vegas was pretty fun! We walked a lot and saw all kinds of great things! I am always so amazed by how much there is to see and do in Vegas! We were there about three years ago, and it has changed so much just since then. If you want to go on a vacation where you'll never have a dull moment, Vegas is the place to be!
