Las Vegas Weekend

We took a family trip to Las Vegas in February, the weekend of the 20th. Mark loves Vegas and wanted to share it with the girls because it is his favorite. So we took the girls to Vegas. We stayed at the Sahara and spent very little time in it. We took the girls to Excalibur and had an awesome breakfast buffet. Yummy. Then we walked the west end of the strip. The girls were in awe. Mark and I were excited to show them Vegas at night which as every one knows is absolutely awesome. But that first morning there we also took the girls to the MGM Grand so Maya, my lion lover could see the lions. We got there just in time they had just finished feeding so the lions were really active we got some great pictures and Maya was in heaven. It was truly amazing. We also took the girls to the Shark Reef Aquarium that is at the Mandalay Bay. It was really neat. But nothing like the aquarium in New Orleans but that is just my opinion. We went to M&M’s World and the Coke store. Sara loved M&M’s World and wanted to just spend the rest of the day there. But we finally left. Went to the Coke store and we tried the drinks from around the world it was so fun to see the girls reactions to each different drink. Most of them were nasty. We had some lunch and took the girls back to the room for naps. Naps didn’t go to well they were too excited so we got up and we went to dinner at Caesars Palace. It was actually a really bad buffet and it was the most expensive. So it sucked. After dinner we took the girls to Madame Tussuads and they had so much fun seeing all the wax remakes of the celebrities. Sara about passed out when she saw Beyonce. We got some good pics with her, I married George Clooney and Mark climbed into bed with Hugh Heffner. We tried to let the girls see the pirate show at Treasure Island but they had to cancel it because of the wind. So that was disappointing. Then that night we went to bed and got up early the next morning and checked out. We went to the New York, New York for donuts and chocolate milk. An expensive breakfast. Then we went to the Mirage so we could go to the dolphin habitat and the Secret Garden where they had two new baby white tigers. The dolphins were Zada’s favorite. She loved watching them in the water. We went to see the baby tigers which were Sara’s favorite. We spent about 45 min watching the tigers, there was a trainer in with them so they were playing and pouncing it was awesome. Then we went and saw the rest of the big cats that they had in the garden the Black Panther was great hit. Then we left and as we were leaving we had to go through the dolphin exhibit and the trainers were working with the dolphins so the girls were able to see them jump and work with the trainers it was awesome. We went to lunch at the Rio for lunch because it is my favorite place to eat in Vegas. Because my Dad used to take us there. Then we headed home. We got home one hour before I had to be to work. It was awesome.
