Viva Las Vegas!!!!!

Yes folks this was our 5th trip to Sin City and as usual we had a blast. We stayed in the Monte Carlo and in the end, both of us were pretty lucky as far as gambling goes. Of course I would win some money, go shopping, win a little more, shop a little more. The weather was perfect, not too hot. We did the casino crawl and didn't hit the hay until after 1 or 2 each night.

Here are some dolphins from

the Sigfried and Roy Dolphin habitat. This was pretty cool. Unfortunately the white tiger display was closed but the dolphin habitat was really cool becuase you could come and sit right on the edge of thier pool and they wouls swim right up and look at you. They did have this one white tiger out for people to see. I wonder what he's thinking...

Mmmmm that Roy buffet was delicious..

I think by now there aren't many casino/hotels we haven't seen. This time we went farther down the strip to the Circus Circus and the other places at that end. I was sad to say my favorite "Bird man of Vegas " wasn't performing this week. But the tigers and dolphins made up for that. We also saw the MGM lions where the trainers throw hamburger onto the glass window and you get to see them lick it off, We went to the Mandalay Bay aqarium which was awesome. Lots of sharks and fish. We had lunch at The Border Grill there where Bf had shark Tacos. I guess when a shark misbehaves they get made into Tacos! BElow are some various pictures. The Venitian tower, lions and gondola dude. The "Paris" Hotel. Some fish from the aqarium

Here are also photos of New York New York and The Excalibur.

We also went to see Don Rickles who was fucking hilarious and his show was opened by Shawn King, Larry Kings wife. She was very tall, very thin, very pretty and a very average singer. She wasn't too bad all though the Motown montage and watching some kind of slide show of her and her family and kids was a little much. Her hubby was seatred a few rows in front of us at the theater and the man looked older than the hills.

All in all we had a great time, The BF had some nice luck with the ponies and I had some luck at the shoe stores.. We also went to see the exhibition "Bodies" Appropriately right next to the Titanic exhibition. That was amazing. Word of warning, don't see that right after lunch! Or right before for that matter..

Here is a little list I have compiled based on my Vegas knowledge..
