My Lame Trip to Las Vegas

This is my last post about Vegas, I promise!  Because I was there for a work training, I didn't have much free time, but we were able to get out and see a play and walk around and people/casino watch.  I only took a few pics, but I did want to share what I saw.

We stayed at The Venetian, and all the rooms there are suites.  Way cool!

View from my room - I love the mountains in the background!

My room - cool, huh?

A living room too!

The Bellagio fountain show was really neat.

Yummy frozen hot chocolate!

I took a short video (30 seconds) of the fountain show.

So hopefully I can go back to Vegas someday and actually see and do more!

Review: The Lion King

I mentioned briefly that I saw 'The Lion King' while in Vegas.  I really can't express in words how amazing this play was!  It definitely goes at the top of my list (although I still say 'Wicked' is #1 in my heart).  I was just blown away by the costumes, the singing and the dancing.  The story is, of course, almost identical to the Disney movie.  There are a few extra songs, but other than that the story is the same.  There were a few additional dances by the animals and one tribal song - all of which were awesome.  At the beginning I had goosebumps, and I was crying by the end.  If you ever have the chance to see it, GO!!!

Some awesome pics via google.

Can you believe those giraffes are people?  Crazy, huh?
