More about our Vegas Trip

 So more about our trip to Las Vegas!

 

So our taxi driver got us to our hotel safe! We stayed at the Excalibur Hotel and my mom, her husband and my sister stayed at the MGM Grand. (the hotels were just across the street from each other so that worked great. just a 15 minute jot from one hotel to the other. well at least that is what it seemed like. those hotels are HUGE!) Anyway we checked into our hotel, found our room and then ventured out to meet up with the rest of the family.

Now that our bags were situated it was time to venture out and see what Vegas had to offer!

 So we decided to meet up at New York New York Hotel. I have to say this was my most favorite hotel that we went into. (we went through 7 hotels and this one was my favorite one)

Anyway, we bummed around in this hotel for a while!

 

This is what New York New York looks like from the other side of the street!

It was a pretty cool hotel.

 Anyway we looked through the stores in the hotel, and found ourselves something to munch on to tide us over til dinner. Mac got himself a drink.

 Then we took the boys up to the kid gaming area so that they could play a few games!

and Mac played a few to!

 then we were off to look around for a while!

We went to this one booth that sold these HUGE candies.

Chealsi wanted a picture holding some of them. they were a little pricey. They were $20.00 - $25.00 each. But that's Vegas for you. Everything was so expensive! But we had a great time! 



 Silly boy!

  then we were off to explore MGM Grand Hotel! One of the restaurants that we would meet at each morning had this gift shop there and in the gift shot there was this huge salt water fish tank. Mac really enjoyed looking at it. I have to say it was pretty cool to see it myself and I am not much for fish!
 

  and then he found this hat while we were at the gift shop. This is totally Mac. He didn't even want to buy it. I was so surprised!

The main reason why we went to Vegas was because we had tickets to the PBR (Pro Bull Riding) at the Thomas and Mac center there in Vegas. Well the first night we were there Chealsi and I went to see the Bull riding. (we only had to tickets for each night we were in Vegas. So different people went each night so that way everyone had an opportunity to see what the PBR was all about!

 I have to say the PBR was pretty cool. I have never been to anything like that before but it was cool to see it with my own eyes!

So after having a little issue with finding the bus that shuttles us to the PBR arena Chealsi found it with seconds to spare, but we made it! It will be a memory we will never forget!

So we made it to the convention center and found our seats just fine! Actually they were good seats.
 

We could see everything just great!
 

then we had to have a picture taken with the arena in the background!

 

Anyway, while Chealsi and I were at the PBR the rest of the gang when to dinner and bummed around the strip. (I only had my 1 camera so I was not able to get any pictures of anyone else that went to the PBR the other nights. But I sure got tons of other pictures to share) There is so much more to share about our vacation. I will post more later!
