The Fabulous Las Vegas

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I just returned from a trip to Las Vegas. If you have never been there, it is a trip you should take at least once in your life, but chances are after you have gone once, you will want to go again. This was actually my second trip to Vegas in two years. My husband and I went last year for our anniversary, and this most recent trip was for a wedding. My sister got married at the Las Vegas Wedding Chapel in a beautiful garden chapel. It was a beautiful ceremony, and staff was great. They web cast the wedding, so our family and friends back home that couldn't make it to Vegas were able to watch it online. They even let us say hello to our kids. The photographer did a great job with the pictures. So much so, that my sister and brother-in-law could not make a decision as to which pictures to purchase, so they got them all including the copy wright, so now they are to free to print them out as they wish.
We stayed at Excalibur Hotel and Casino, right on the strip. It is a great hotel, and I would strongly recommend it. The rooms are clean, the beds are comfortable, and it is one of the more reasonably priced hotel and casinos to stay at. I would also recommend that you plan your trip as a package deal. One of the best that I found was through US Airways Vacations. Air and hotel all wrapped up together. It was a great deal.
Whether or not you are into gambling, there is so much to see and do in Vegas, you could go there many, many times and still see new things each time. Tournament of Kings dinner show at Excalibur is a great show, with a lot of audience interaction. Some of the free shows include the fighting ships at Treasure Island, and the beautiful Dancing Fountains at Bellagio. Both of those are must sees. Another must see is the Lion Habitat at MGM Grand, which is right across the street from Excalibur. At the Mirage, you can see an erupting volcano outside, then go inside and become a dolphin trainer for a day at the dolphin habitat. There are many shows to choose from. There's The Blue Man Group, David Copperfield, Mama Mia, Carrot Top and many many more. There is something for everyone in Vegas, and for all you ladies; Thunder From Down Under at Excalibur is male revue that you will not soon forget.
With so much to see and do, it is almost a necessity to go more than once. We have now decided to make Vegas a yearly getaway for my husband and I. As I said before, we have now been there twice, and still haven't seen a fraction of all there is to see. Even after being home for only 2 days, I am already looking forward to our next trip out there. Viva Las Vegas!
