We Have Arrived

We arrived at our hotel (another one of the surprises), Treasure Island, around 3:00 pm. Audria and I were ecstatic to get the suitcases out of our laps and stretch out. They guys worked their magic and got us a free upgrade of rooms overlooking the strip. After unpacking our rooms, we headed downstairs to get some lunch (we were starving). We ate lunch at Kahunaville and had some of the best French fries any of us had ever had (either that or we were just really hungry)!



After our late lunch (or maybe it was dinner?) we took off on foot. We walked thru several of the big hotels including the Venetian and Cesar's Palace. The architecture and design of the buildings is amazing!


When you're inside the Venetian, you don't feel like you're inside. You feel like you're outside walking the streets of Venice!




On the way back to our hotel we noticed that there was a crowed gathering in front of the Mirage, so we stopped to see what the fuss was about.


They were waiting for the volcano to erupt.


It was worth waiting for. It was pretty cool to see the eruption!


We stopped at Walgreens to pick up a few snacks and then enjoyed the lights of the strip as we walked over a bridge back to our hotel.


Our hotel, Treasure Island, also has a free show out front. I think we'll catch it some other night this week.

It was neat to look out our hotel window and have a view of the strip. I can't believe how busy it is all night long!


We were all really tired, but we decided to play a few games of Uno before we hit the sack.

How cool, it's so neat how each hotel is unique and has such detail!!! Sounds like a fun day- perfect way to end it with Uno (we LOVE Uno!!!)

What floor were you on?

One of those pictures at the Venice Hotel looked just like the square in Venice where Joan and I walked around. Glad you had such a wonderful vacation.
