Wynn. One of the newest hotels on the Strip. Pictures do not do it justice.
The Stratosphere. No - we didn't go to the top. No - we didn't ride the rides at the top. Apparently you missed the entry where I'm scared of clowns and tall corn...
The pool at The Mirage. Yeah - pool. That's not a typo. I'm standing at the edge of the pool and it's built around this circular aquarium. That tube down the middle? It's the water slide. Did I mention that it's in the middle of the hotel surrounded by palm trees with no roof above it?
Fremont Street - Downtown. This is the coolest s**t ever. This used to just be the regular downtown area with bars and casinos, etc. But there was so much foot traffic that they closed it down to vehicle traffic. The area where everyone is standing used to be a road. The "roof"-like structure up above is a lighted ceiling. They show light shows on it like every 15 minutes. The "roof" only goes that one way - so if you look to either side, it's clear sky. Forward - light show. Side-to-side - palm trees and sky. It's only covered over the part that's closed to vehicle traffic.
Live band playing. Fremont Street.
Ok. This concludes "Viva Las Vegas" Vol. 1. Tomorrow I'll post all of our pics from Madam Tussuad's Wax Museum... because there's a ton. PS - It was by far the most fun thing that we did on our entire trip.

I loved Fremont Street when I was there. It was a great, tacky little place to hang out. And I did ride the thing at the top of the stratosphere...can't remember the name of it...lifts you up and drops you...worst $20 I ever spent!
The thought of it right now gives me mega heebs!
I am "patiently" waiting for Volume 2 - the most exciting part of the trip - the wax museum. I thought I would just leave you a comment letting you know that I am "patiently" waiting!!! It's not like you have two kids, a husband and a job - I know you can find time!!! LOL just kidding! But seriously though, still "patiently" waiting!!!
