What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.











Las Vegas is definitely an extremely entertaining place to visit.  There were so many different 'weird' people all over....with the spirit of love.  So much to see.  Bright lights.  Chi ching of the slot machines. But Deb's and my favourite memory will be our unforgettable trip to the Grand Canyon.  A must if you go.  Thank you for following my blog.  I leave you with these few random shots of our adventures.

Paris in Las Vegas?











One of our favourite places in the world.  Paris.  Las Vegas has brought it to North America and what a fantastic casino it is.  There is a smaller, but still very large, Eiffel tower.  With views from the top and a  restaurant.....wee bit expensive, but I am sure well worth it.  There are fountains, and bridges, and cafes.......oooohhhh Paris!  Deb and I started off the day with eggs benedict and smoked salmon, cappuccino, and cafe latte, at an outside cafe right on the Las Vegas strip under the Eiffel tower.  Amazing place.  Really does feel like you have been transported to France.  Loved it.

"Kate, I'm ready for High Tea"






          
            I'm not sure Debbie is taking this seriously....."you can't wear that to high tea!"



                                      "I know nothin' 'bout delivering babies Miss Scarlett"




                                                      Don't I look like Audrey Hepburn?


                            Not sure if Kate will let me sit with her with this orange ensemble?


                      This reminds me of Eddie Murphy......."Debbie, you can't wear that to tea!!!"

                                                     AN THE WINNER IS..........
             I love this hat....in all seriousness I almost bought it.....But where would I wear it????
Maybe work.....


How do you possibly top a day like the Grand Canyon tour??  Well you find yourself (accidentally) a fascinator store and try on as many hats and your photographer (Debbie) will let you!
I was in my glory.  The best day ever.  The sales rep encourage us to try on as many as we would like....I LOVE THAT WOMAN!!!!

The Grand Canyon Part 9






                                             The MGM & New York New York casinos.  Did Diane and Karen know there was another 'extreme roller coaster' over here???  Looked really intense!!


 An aerial shot of the 'Las Vegas strip' from our helicopter.....know I know why my legs and feet won't talk to me!!!

Banking for a landing....you are correct if you knew that was my hand holding the bar.....and for dear life again....'cause I was a wee bit scared.....

 Another banking manoeuvre....or are we still banking.....I am still scared back here!!!

 Oh yeah.....I see the strip.....I loved the ride even though I was pretty nervous.  An amazing experience that I will remember and cherish for a life time......
"Debbie, Karen, Moey, Diane, our ride is here."  Bye bye Grand Canyon.  I am sending all my friends to visit you.
