Las Vegas - 2006

Welllll, I decided I'd start back as far as I have pictures on this computer and post any travel and food pictures to get caught up. It makes this blog really unorganized, but I go back and forth from being organized to all over the place, so this idea is an all over the place one.

Anyway, in 2006 I traveled to Vegas with 2 of my co-workers when I used to work in AZ's tax department. It was no Hangover type experience at all:) But a fun time. I may have only had one glass of wine the whole trip, but the sights were cool, and food was great. I was there for a Vertex (tax software) conference, but don't really remember much about that.

We rode that crazy ride at the top of the Stratosphere..i think the name was X-Scream. All I know is I STILL have nightmares of that thing! It made you feel like you were about to plummet 800 and something feet off of the edge of the building. I really do still get nervous thinking about it:)

We also saw many of the casinos, ate some good food, and even rode in a gondola at the Venetian. Seeing the fountains at the Bellagio was really cool, too. Anyway, that was my 1 and only trip to Vegas, and even without the lack of memories from it, it was a great time!!


COOOOOL


The fountains at Bellagio



This was for The Beatles, "Love"...we didn't see any shows, but all of the advertisements for them were cool.



Butter, olive oil, salt, and pepper for the bread


Neat wine storing contraption. The wine thing was in a restaurant and people (restaurant workers) would climb up that thing to get them, safety ropes and all. Interesting.




Yum dessert

 The top of the Stratosphere.


Scariest ride ever.
The video is sorta dark, but you get the picture of it going straight over the edge. It would do that 3 times. Oh, and the ride had no over the shoulder harness...so I was sitting there with just a metal thing to grip that was basically a bar that went between my legs with handles...sorta like a pogo stick. It felt as secure as one, too. I was holding on to that thing with all I had.

This picture sorta gives it a better perspective. I found it on another website.
