Las Vegas!!!








Kellie and a few of her long time friends turned thirty this year, and two finished their last med school test this last week. So what else do you do... go to Vegas. We stayed in the Hard Rock, which we got a great deal on, or so we thought. They did manage to nickle and dime us for everything, but I think that is standard in Vegas. We thought the hotel was a lot of fun as compared to others. They have all sorts of Rock memorabilia to wander about and look at, and there is a great sushi restaurant and a Mexican cantina across the street to get some good cheeper eats.

These cheeper places come in handy when they tell you that there are no coolers allowed in the room. Hoever, if you are like us, you use your cooler to hold all you luggage to save on baggage prices. They cannot tell you that you can't take you clothes to your room. Then go buy your snacks at the CVS Pharmacy across the street and hide them in you back pack or purse. This is a great way to save some money, but believe me, they will get it one way or another... It is Vegas afterall.

I will fore warn any parent going to the Hard Rock, it is not a place for children, not that Vegas really is. The pool is no ordinary pool, it is spring break Mexico every day. This does allow for some very interesting people watching. Niether of us knew that women were supised to wear high heels with your itsy bitsy tiny winny bikini.

Old town was where we had the most fun. We all had dinner at the Bavarian Restaurant by the hotel, I would tell you the name but I cannot spell it. Then we took a Hummer limmo to old town where prices ar more moderate and great bands play in the street.

All in all we had a great time, no items were lost, and we stayed within budget... The perfect Vegas vacation.
