Vegas and Palm Desert

After being in Saskatoon and running around with lists, and plans, and things to accomplish it sure was nice to go down south for a little sun and relaxation.



I went with my parents, and our first stop was Las Vegas.  We stayed in the Cosmopolitan, next to the Bellagio, and across from Planet Hollywood.  Above is the view we had from our hotel room.  My big gambling achievements for the 4 days we were: $0.00  I went up $10.00 on my first night there, and the day we left I managed to lose it.  ah well.  Never gamble what you aren't willing to throw away anyway.... right?  On a positive note I got to see Terry Fator with my parents the second night we were there.


He was entertaining, and quite a bit of fun.  Our third night there we saw Viva! Elvis.  Elvis was a bit before my time, but it was a fun show that we left smiling. 

We drove to Palm Desert from Las Vegas and decided to go through the Mojave desert.  This is my picture of the salt flats out the window of our moving vehicle.


Palm Desert was great as well.  Sunny, warm, and GREAT sunsets!
