Las Vegas! Last weekend was the last week of school and I finished up all my finals and then went to Las Vegas for the weekend. It was a great way to celebrate my birthday and to get out of Utah.
We stayed at Mandalay Bay and had a great room. We enjoyed the eleven acres of pools and got really tan. Went to a Cirque Du Soleil show called Ka’. It was amazing and would highly recommend it to anyone. There were people flying all over the place and the stage could basically rotate in an direction imaginable.
The food was amazing. On Saturday night we ate at Aureole at Mandalay Bay. (Check out their website at www.aureolelv.com) The restaurant features a Wine Tower that is fouty-two feet tall. Vegas also has many buffets and other fine dining venues.
Las Vegas was a blast! Here are some pictures:
The Strip: The view from Mandalay Bay was amazing. Off to the left you can see a whole bunch of cranes. They are building an eight billion dollar complex called the City Center.
Mandalay Pools: This is a look at all the pools from our room. That big one at the top is a fun wave pool with a sand beach.
Our Penthouse Suite: This is the front room with a sixty inch plasma television to the right which you cannot see. Off to the left is the dining room and also a kitchen. The room also had a huge jetted tub along with a steam room.
Hoover Dam: The dam tour was really cool. We got to go inside all the tunnels and I took tons of pictures.
After spending a few days in Vegas we made our way to southern Utah. Check out those pictures in #028 – Zions National Park. If you can’t see any of the pictures in the email, check out my blog at www.khanfire.com/blog
