Vegas - Day 2 & 3

Day two in Vegas, we started out the morning early with some swim time! We hit the pool right as it opened at 9am; and we practically had the place to ourselves! Skyler hadn't been in an actual swimming pool that she could remember, so she started out a little scared. But she quickly warmed up and had a ton of fun! She especially loved jumping from the edge of the pool as I would catch her.

After our time at the pool, we had lunch at T.G.I.Friday's (in our hotel) and then took Skyler to the Kids Tyme center (she called it the playground) where she spent a few hours playing while we went and took our chances on the casino floor! We started out with video poker and blackjack. Then we both hit the blackjack tables, which wasn't very profitable for us... So back to the machines we went.

We picked up Skyler about 3, and headed out to the strip! We checked out the Luxor, NYNY and Excalibur (Skyler wanted to see the Castle!) Before we headed over to Treasure Island to have dinner (A pizza by the slice place, that was just so-so) and then we took our seats for Mystere!!

The show was FABULOUS!! Skyler was mesmerized the entire time, which I was glad about! (I had been nervous it might be too much for her!) She loved the Ballerina's and giggled at the baby.

After Mystere we got some ice cream at Ben & Jerry's and then headed outside to wait for the Pirate show to start. Skyler got a kick out of the explosions and fireworks with the pirate show.

Then it was time to head back to the hotel for bed. (Another midnight bedtime for all three of us... )


Day Three, We took it easy all morning and then had lunch at the hotel food court. (Fuddruckers!) Then up to the bowling alley in the Orleans for 3 games of bowling.

After that, it was back to our room to take a quick nap.  Then Skyler wanted to go back to the playground, so we took her and Ryan and I went to relax between the room and playing slots again.

Then we had dinner at the hotel buffet, and headed downtown to see the Fremont Street Experience! We saw a quick show of "Queen" and then spent a few hours just roaming around watching all the buskers and live music. (Skyler was particularly fascinated by a Saxophone Player at the Golden Nugget.

On our way back we stopped in an attempt to see the Caesars Fountains again, and after waiting 30 minutes, they finally said the show was out of order again *sigh* (The one thing I didn't get to see while we were there that I wanted too! But not for lack of trying!)

After all was said and done, it was nearly 1am when we got back to the hotel - and Skyler was the only one not cranky!!
