Vegas Oct 2017

Vegas Oct 2017

Quick trip to Vegas to cheer on a friend at a pool tournament and then check out Zion Park, where we will be having a big party in 2018.

Love to try new things in Vegas so we ate at the Peppermill.  Just new to us since they have been here from the 70's.  Portions are gianormous.  That is a ridiculous amount of onion rings.

Breakfast that will last till tomorrow.

Yes, decor from the 70's.  After this we checked out Circus Circus which had an absolutely huge game arcade.  ever couple of hours there is a free showing of a circus act which is totally worth a look.

Our group had recently finished watching all of Baz Luhrmans movies, so we had to give this a try.  Nicely done!  They mashed up Moulin Rouge, The Great Gatsby and Romeo + Juliet (which is sooooooo good).  All the stories wove together-might not get all the references if you haven't just seen the movies, but cast/costuming/dance were all top-notch.

Nice dinner after the show-we didn't have reservations but our timing was good and we got a table.

Good food, excellent, non-fussy service.

We had the best Lyft driver who had short videos of things to do in Vegas.  You can still go tour Elvis' penthouse-huh.  He also had an gold microphone for all our in-car karaoke needs.

My favorite museum in Vegas is the Atomic Testing Museum.  Well curated exhibits, dense with information and artifacts.


I think this is the same kit that is at the dangerous toys exhibit in the PEZ museum! 


Hand carved replica-so interesting!

Bonus picture from our December trip to Missouri!
Along Route 66 some guy has renamed his patch of land Uranus and voila it is a tourist spot-totally worth a stop!!
