viva las vegas...

Jeff and I have just returned from his company trip to Las Vegas, Nevada. The last time we went to Vegas was about twelve years ago and there was plenty to see and do this time. We barely scratched the surface of the strip but we did make our way to old Las Vegas. We won some and we lost some but I happily came away ahead. I didn't lose my wages in Las Vegas.


A couple of highlights from the trip was seeing the show KA by Cirque du Soleil at the MGM Grand Hotel. I highly recommend this show if you make it to Vegas. As Jeff said, the stage deserved its own standing ovation. We also got a chance to eat at the restaurant Le Cirque at the Bellagio. This was an absolutely fantastic meal. Then the final highlight was a trip to the Grand Canyon via route 66. For those that know me, I've always wanted to travel down route 66 and even though it was a short ride it was still fun. We took a river rafting trip through the canyon and then a helicopter ride. We were on the road for at least 6 hours and almost ran out of gas in the desert but it was well worth it.
