Hello for New Years me and My wife DeeDee decided we would try going to Las Vegas for New Years Eve. Well a few months ago, while we where looking up flights and hotel information on the internet we realized that we could go for 5 days for the same price it would have cost to go just for a few days so we decieded to go for 5 nights. So we left on December 27th at 8 am and arrived in Las Vegas at about 10 am where we had a car pick us up and take us to the Ballys. Ballys is right next to Paris right in the middle of the strip. It was in a good location because really we were not to far away from anything. We could walk anywhere we wanted to which was awesome.
On the first night there we went to downtown vegas to see the the Fremont Street Experience. The light show is really cool and downtown Vegas is completely different then the strip. I mean other then the light show downtown Vegas is kind of run down. But I kind of liked it because it seems so much more relaxed there then the strip. After awhile the strip seemed way to busy but downtown Las Vegas had its own feel and it was cool to see. Me and DeeDee walked up and down the street and went into a couple of casinos. It seemed like we had only been there an hour or two when we realized that we had been there for like 4 hours so we headed back to the hotel in a taxi.
On friday we went to see the show Crazy Horse at MGM. Our seats where like in the front row and could see the show good. It was one of the coolest, weirdest, crazyest shows I have ever seen. The women where almost naked the entire time and there where these lights going on them and most of the time you couldnt even tell they where naked. It was so strange but cool at the same time. They could dance without even making faces or jesters or anything. It was strange but really cool. I would recommend it to anyone who goes to Vegas.
On Saturday we went to go see LOVE. Love in the Beatles show. It was very strange and i really didnt get it. DD loved Love and she said it was her favorite show. I just didnt get it. We use Beatles music as nap music at work and I kept wanting to crowl up into a ball and goto sleep. I not saying I hated it. There where parts that i did like. I liked this one part where there is this tent that covers the entire auddice and as the auddice flaps it there is a yellow submurine on the tarp. I would compare it to the circus with beatles music playing in the background.
Also on saturday we went to see the show price is right at Ballys. That show was fun but me and DeeDee think it was rigged the way they picked people to come up. The same lady got called up twice. And two brothers got called up at the same time. It seemed to fishy to be random like they said it was.
Then on sunday we went to the stadosphere to see an impersonatodor show. My favorite one was the Elvis. He sang alot of songs. I think he should have been the last one but he was the first one. They also had Britney and a few other people but Elvis was the best. You cant goto Vegas without seeing the King. This was my favorite show. Then after the show we went the top and looked at the city. It was cool seeing the city of Las Vegas all lighten up. We could see the strip and downtown and all of Las Vegas. It was really really cool.
Then on Monday DeeDee went and got her tatoo done on her ankle. It looks like a K with ivy leaves. I didnt really think she was going to do it. First we went to the place and they drew it out. They told us if she wanted it she had to come back in 30 minutes because the artist wasn;t in yet. SO we goto lunch and I totolay though she was going to freak out and not do it. But after lunch she went and got it done.
Then on monday night we went to Diablos Canto for New Years. It was kind of a mistake. IF I could do it over I wouldnt have bought the tickets. Instead I would have stayed at ballys where I could have just gone outside and seen the fireworks. There was way to many people crammed into the little bar and the band suxed ass. So if you ever togo las Vegas just stay on the stip. I not saying we didnt have fun but it would have been better if we just stayed by our hotel.
Then on tuesday morning we flew home to chicago
