Las Vegas Day 1

We went to Las Vegas March 25th. We were supposed to leave at 12:05pm, but after we all got on the plane, there were some engine troubles. Not major ones, but they couldn't fly the plane anyways, so we had to all get off and wait. We ended up waiting about 4 hours before we could actually go. I was glad we didn't have to wait on the plane while they fixed it, so that was nice. I read a book and listened to my ipod. Mark got some work done.

Us waiting for the plane to get fixed. We are happy to be able to get away.

The engine open!!

I was a little nervous when they closed it up and said it was ok to go back on. They had even flown another plane from Las Vegas to Bismarck, and they turned it around when it was about 200 miles out of Bismarck. So we all piled back on the plane and took off for Vegas! It was a good smooth flight and I wasn't nervous at all during the flight. It was pretty cloudy out, so we didn't see much until we were pretty much over Vegas. We were supposed to be in Vegas by 1pm, but we didn't get there until 5:45 so it we missed a few hours there, but it was all good, we were just happy they didn't cancel our flight.

Another view

I love the mountain in the back ground. It was so pretty!

Our room

Our hotel at night.

Bally's Hotel had a real show girls show Jubilee. We went to it, and it wasn't that good. We weren't that impressed with it. I kinda wished we wouldn't have seen it, but then if we hadn't then I would have wondered what it was like.

So many lights!!

We met up with a few co workers of Marks, and we hung out with them. I ended up with 3 HUGE blisters on my feet. I wore some really bad shoes!! I was worried that it would dampen our walking the rest of the weekend, but it was fine, as long as I had bandaids on.

Lots of lights! I loved it!

I love the view! I could look at it forever!

The Eiffel tower. It was so awesome all lit up!

The entrance into our hotel. It was all lit up and sometimes would change colors too!

The casino, there were a bunch of people there too. And it was smoky, so it wasn't fun to be in there, but it was neat to see all the slot machines. We only gambled once and we came out ahead 20 dollars! So we were happy about that!!

We ate at a small bar in the hotel that night, we shared a burger and a big plate of nachos. It was so good!! And it only cost us $20 to eat. We then met up with Mark's co workers and walked around for a while. We watched a volcano show, with lights water and a little bit of fire too. Then we walked back towards our hotel, I changed my shoes, and then met some friends for a few drinks. Then we went to bed, it was 2am our time, midnight there. So we were tired!
