The kids were happy to get the the hotel, it really was resort like. I could hear the waterfalls out the window and the beds were all fluffy and white. I even liked the decorative ceiling fan and the big Jacuzzi tub. Yep, pretty different from the motels were stay in on our way to Utah, but don't get used to it I told them.:)
We stayed at the Hotel for dinner and went to the promenade there. We were excited to see they had three course meals for $9.99. We all love a good deal and the kids love having appetizers and desserts to themselves. Joseph got lamb shank and apple cobbler with mozzarella sticks. He was in heaven. Emmy did well with her share of the food, but admitted we were almost full of soda and salad before the main dish came! because it took a while Celia and Joseph had fun playing with ice, and Emmy made a mustache out of her hair to cover her nose from the smoke filled casino we passed through to go eat.
We got to see the Eiffel tower and Statue of Liberty all on one street! Hehe. Emmy kept saying this is very different from the cities we usually visit. Its true! The strip was lit up and bright and they've really expanded the area with more hotels and shopping and big screen Tvs then I remember. We were impressed at the terrifing look of the Stratosphere's roller coaster. It was high above and hanging over the hotel that looked like Seattle's space needle. Even our dare devil family member's admitted that looked too scary! We thought it would be good to drive the strip instead of walk it since dad's knee was bothering him and Celia is a little bit monkey and might try and run into the street! We did seethe lights and fire of the volcano erupting at the Mirage. We were stuck in traffic in front of it, so we had perfect seats.:) We tried to avoid all the lame advertisements and took pictures from the car like tourists, it was still a very fun time.
