Vegas portion of Vacation

Well, I thought I would finally end the vacation series of my blog. We left Idaho and headed for Las Vegas, NV. We stayed at one of the new resorts outside of the strip, the South Point. It was okay, not the greatest though. My family loves going to hotels for the pool. Growing up, we didn't have a pool and that was always the deal breaker on vacation hotels, it had to have an amazing pool. We have an above ground dough boy now, but still look for great pools. This one looked great online, but once there, we discovered it overrun with kids, no matter the time of day. That was a bummer.

Saturday night (I think) we strolled down the strip to visit all of the big hotels.

We walked all the way down the strip to see the Treasure Island pirate show...for those of you who have not been to Vegas recently, it is no longer the traditional pirate show...it is basically scantily clad women, horribly lip synching to a suggestive and badly performed song. We made it to the 11pm show, got all the way to the front, and then were trapped by the crowds that had gathered to watch. Literally, Russell was behind me giggling the whole time and the rest of us were just glancing uncomfortably around.

The next day we visited the huge bass pro shops in Vegas and strolled around there for about 2 hours.


There was a OCC chopper for Bass Pro Shops on display that Scott loved.

We also visited a ranch out near red rock, on the way back we saw some wild burros, that was kinda neat.


All in all, vacation was fun, though pretty long. I had a great time, though was glad to get back to regular life, plus I missed my dogs like crazy!
