Vegas Fun!!

In addition to the U2 concert- we really packed a lot in our trip. Outlet mall, buffets, Dinner at the Excalibur "Knights of the Round Table", Hoover Dam, coke tasting at the Coke Factory, rollercoaster and haunted houses at Circus Circus.... we had a great time!!



The bridge they are building at the dam is insane!!
Me & Alicia at dinner.
Cheers!

Trying the 16 types of coke products from around the world.


At the Excalibur, there was a store that sold Pearls. The neat part is that you sort thru and pick out your own clam. You ring a bell and say "Aloha!" to welcome the pearl, and then you open the clam to get out your pearl. The clam Alicia chose- was hiding a HUGE pearl! It almost didn't fit the necklace! It was fun to participate in the whole welcoming event. I am sure she will cherish it always.





Waiting for the Bellagio Fountains.

U2 in Vegas!!!

Me, Alicia, Ryan, my sister Liz & her husband Brent had the awesome opportunity to go see U2 in concert- in Viva Las Vegas!! Honestly, the best concert I have ever been to! The lights, the sounds, the bass, Bono..... it was perfectly amazing! From mysterious ways to elevation ....with or without you.... it is an experience that I will never forget.



The stage. Our seats were pretty far back... but I think we had the best seats (other than being able to reach out and touch them of course). We could see all the lights. You have to understand that the light show they put on, is just amazing. The disco ball and lasers- it made it seem we were all inside a magical glass dome. And the bass... ohhh the bass. My heart was bouncing in my chest!
