More Fun in Vegas

Day 2 was a bit more exciting! We still didn't party, go clubbing or anything like that...but we did stop by the 7-11 and bought a few beers!
Outside of 7-11 with our beer! Two 24 ounce bud lights and one 24 ounce raspberry smirnoff ice for just over $8.00! Now that is how you buy alcohol in Vegas!
I love Smirnoff Ice!!! MMMMmmmmmmmmmm! It isn't as good as strawberry Champagne though!
I want this scooter!! This was at one of those place where you can rent fancy cars and other things...and I fell in love with this scooter...I didn't ride it or anything...but it is very pretty! It is even in my favorite color!
Outside the M&M store with red and yellow
The MGM Lion
In front of New York, New York
In front of Caesar's Palace
One of the things we wanted to do while in New York was go to a Nathan's Famous....but we ran out of time.....BUT they had one in the New York, New York Hotel so we were able to try a Nathan's Famous hot dog anyhow!!
Aaron enjoying his hot dog...it was VERY yummy!

After eating our yummy hot dogs, we walked miles and miles and miles so that Aaron could go on the stratosphere...we didn't realize how freaking far away it was! Anyhow....we finally get there and Aaron is getting ready to buy his ticket to go on the ride (I am not going) and he asks if it is OK if I go up with him and not go on...because he doesn't want to leave me by myself....they say it is fine and just as he is about to pay they tell him, "but you can't bring your tripod"....we had the tripod to take pictures later in the night....so basically, either I stay down by myself with the tripod or he doesn't go on....he didn't go on....so it was a long walk for nothing!

So after that we decided to take a taxi back to the Venetian because we sure as hell weren't going to walk back! We wanted to go to the Venetian because they have a gondola ride that you can go on!
This is the inside of the Venetian...isn't is beautiful!
On the Gondola Ride
Our Gondola "driver" was quite the comedian!! He was too funny...he really made the ride awesome!

After the gondola ride, we were pretty beat....so we walked from the Venetian back to our hotel and snapped some pictures on the way...
After 9/11 people brought mementos and other things in remembrance of those who died in the 9/11 attacks and placed them in front of the New York, New York Hotel...just in front of the Statue of Liberty....the hotel decided that they would make a memorial with them and put them all on display...it was very touching.
In front of the Eiffel Tower
In front of our hotel (excalibur)...I LOVED it!! It reminded me of Disneyland!

Vegas was definitely more fun the second day after some much needed rest!!...but that is it for now and we are now off to San Diego!
