Vegas - such as it is.

Well I went to Vegas. Had a funnish time. Stayed at the Excalibur. Room was ok, but it was cheap so no complaints really and the bed was ok. In case you haven't been to Vegas here is the outside of Excalibur:

And we had a really nice view from the window too.

Got (nearly) free tickets to 'The Lion King' because I went to a timeshare seminar. Seminar was ok. Denise loved 'The Lion King' I was more lukewarm. There was just something about it that didn't set me on fire. I'm guessing knowing the whole story in advance was something that killed the anticipation for me and while I was impressed with the creativity of the costuming and recreating the scenes from the movie it felt... I dunno, kind of forced? Here is a picture of the costumes as an example (not taken by me of course).

We also ate out at a brazilian restaurant, where the meat is served to you on skewers by wandering servers. Very Very good, but quite pricey. We didn't make any money on the slots of course, and on the way back to Tucson my car broke down between Wikieup(sp?) and Wickenburg in an isolated stretch of roadway. We eventually got towed to Wickenburg, spent the night and then got driven to Tucson by my sister-in-law Lynn today. My car is still there as the parts won't come in to get it repaired until Monday, when we will have to drive back up and pick it up. Yay. On a more light note I took a picture of myself at the most photographed spot in Las Vegas (according to vegas.com).
