Day off in VEGAS!!!!

Usually after tour, we're exhausted a sleep for 12 hours. That, and people have places they need to be, someone's on a deadline for something, etc. This time, since it was a short tour and we had some free time, so we spent a day off in Vegas. Jordan ended up getting a hotel room the night after the show and having the full Vegas experience on his own. So you won't see him in my pictures, but don't worry, he had fun too!

I was the first to wake up the next morning, so I got online and searched what was in the area we were parked in. I discovered there was a giant bakery pretty much right across the street. Mike woke up, and the two of us headed over there where I got goodies for everyone. I wanted to try all of these, so I literally ate a 1/4 of each, which everyone found hilarious, but was actually super smart on my part :)


Once everyone else got up and got ready (and had pastries), we called an Uber. Junior thought he called an Uber XL, but a car showed up because he didn't do it right. So, as we've done in the past, we stuffed 4 of us "skeletons" in the back seat.

The edge of my sunglasses mean we're technically all in the photo



First thing we did was go to the aquarium. I meant to not take a million pictures and just enjoy myself, but everything was so cool and I eventually gave in and took a few.

Such a cool entry way

I asked Mike to get a photo of how huge this was, he got mostly the floor (Which I cropped out)

Tunnel

Sharks swimming over head!


One of my favorite photos!





They also had a special attraction called "Sea Monsters Revealed." These are all actual animals!







That's what the inside of a penguin looks like
We also saw the "Bodies" exhibit, but out of respect they don't allow photos, so here's some from the Luxor Hotel & Casino.



Selfie with a cactus!

Vegan "fish" tacos!!!! So good!

Those are all rooms!





The last thing we did was go to the "Adventuredome" which is a small, indoor amusement park. No pictures from there because we put our stuff in a locker so we wouldn't have to carry it on the rides/laser tag. We stayed there until they closed then wandered around Vegas a bit.


Sign I saw. I couldn't find the actual statue.
Over the course of the day we did stop at a slot machine here or there (I think Mike came out ahead and Junior may have lost some. I only put in a couple of dollars, but hit the button for Mike once when he was playing for Jason and won us $12), did some shopping, saw some sights, etc. At one of the Casinos someone recognized Kim and stopped her for some pictures! We wanted to go to the top of the Stratosphere, but they charge $20 a person unless you're staying there.

Took a selfie with a Hershey kiss taking a selfie....
