View from hotel




I went to Vegas with my mom, and my sister. They both have been there many times. So this was my first trip there, anywhere in fact. Been years since I have been away without the kids. We stayed at the Mirage, a very nice hotel and my sister got a coupon believe it or not to upgrade our room. So we were on the 20th floor and it was a nice room. It will take me a few days to update my blog on this trip. So many pictures......more than 300 actually. Thank goodness for "digital" lol. In these pictures from our hotel room you can see the pool right below and then the 2nd pool of water is actually the "Secret Garden" where the zoo animals are. Dolphins, tigers, lions. I will post those pics later. The hotel is massive. I got lost the first day. Then the other picture you can see Ceasers Palace that is where the strip is. And you can see all the huge cranes. Many new hotels are being built. It is unreal to see some of them. One hotel is leaning...not sure if I have a pic of that one. But you could go online and see it. It is so cool. Heck Vegas is so Cool!

We left last Wednesday afternoon. Flight was delayed so didn't get there till.....ok no idea my mind has gone blank. Anyways we had 2 full days. Not enough to see everything. Flew out of Vegas around noon to Saskatoon. And I stayed there the night and came home Sunday night. Flight delayed a hour and a half ohh what fun. But thats ok I had a great time in Vegas!

I wondered what the Mirage was like. The first time we went to Vegas we stayed at Treasure Island which has the free tram to the Mirage. It looked so pretty. I'd like to try staying there someday.
